I've seen many paintings from that era. When you're standing in fron of the actual painting, the silver color on the dress is just brilliant and seems to come to life. The thing that gets me is that is still bursts off the canvas and it's well over 100 years old. There's a painting with that same silver in a dress hanging at Crystal Bridges and it was painted in the 1760's; still brilliant in color. The talent is just amazing to me.
