Art, modified for widescreen format

It really bothers me when they take film, made for widescreen, and pan-and-scan it down to the more squarish television screen. It’s just wrong, damnit!

Much to my surprise, I learnt today that pan-and-scan is not limited to film! Paintings by great artists have also suffered the ignominy of being edited for their formats. Perhaps they didn’t fit in galleries of the day. I’m happy to bring you, gentle reader, the original unedited versions of this art. Enjoy.
