A few nice photo to canvas images I found:
NYC - MoMA: Pierre Bonnard's The Bathroom
Image by wallyg
The Bathroom, 1932
Oil on canvas, 47 5/8 x 46 1/2" (121 x 118.2 cm).
Pierre Bonnard (French, 1867-1947)
The scene is the bathroom of Bonnard's own home and the woman naked at her toilette is the artist's wife, Marthe, accompanied in the foreground by their dog, Pouce. Although Marthe appears in many of Bonnard's paintings, seldom is her face fully visible. Bonnard painted his unstretched canvases from memory, aided only by small sketches as memory aids. His technique and his use of color were indebted to Impressionism, but the independence of the paint and surface and the high-pitched hues of color in this work were in deep accord with the latest modernist practices.

The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) was founded in 1929 and is often recognized as the most influential museum of modern art in the world. Over the course of the next ten years, the Museum moved three times into progressively larger temporary quarters, and in 1939 finally opened the doors of its midtown home, located on 53rd Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues in midtown.
MoMA's holdings include more than 150,000 paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints, photographs, architectural models and drawings, and design objects. Highlights of the collection inlcude Vincent Van Gogh's The Starry Night, Salvador Dali's The Persisence of Memory, Pablo Picasso's Les Demoiseels d'Avignon and Three Musicians, Claude Monet's Water Lilies, Piet Mondrian's Broadway Boogie Woogie, Paul Gauguin's The Seed of the Areoi, Henri Matisse's Dance, Marc Chagall's I and the Village, Paul Cezanne's The Bather, Jackson Pollack's Number 31, 1950, and Andy Warhol's Campbell's Soup Cans. MoMA also owns approximately 22,000 films and four million film stills, and MoMA's Library and Archives, the premier research facilities of their kind in the world, hold over 300,000 books, artist books, and periodicals, and extensive individual files on more than 70,000 artists.

Forty canvases that were painted by artists representing 40 local organizations were on display at the Wolfe Park pavilion during the 16th annual Children First ice Cream Social. Each painting depicts one of the 40 developmental assets, or character-building traits young people need to grow up healthy and happy.

1850. Oil on canvas. Ashmolean
A Converted British Family Sheltering a Christian Missionary from the Persecution of the Druids is a painting by William Holman Hunt that was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1850. It was a companion to John Everett Millais's Christ in the House of His Parents. Both artists sought to depict similar episodes from very early Christian history, portraying families helping an injured individual. Both stressed the primitivism of the scene.
The Ashmolean Museum is Britain's oldest public museum has one of the finest collections of paintings and antiquities outside of London. Hand-held photography is permitted in many of its galleries, these photos are what I've come up with all were taken at a high ISO and are therefore not quite as sharp as I'd do if I had full studio light. Anyway I hope this set gives people who do not have access to this wonderful museum a taste of some of its riches.
The museum has now re-opened and has expanded, I hope to cover some of the new aspects of the collection in this set.
