When you open this portfolio its slightly different to all the other digital portfolios. You can notice right to begin with that its a lot more focused on trying to show people ways to go see the artwork in person in a museum rather than showing the artwork right off the bat. But as soon as you open the menu at the side everything else becomes available to look at.
The purpose of this portfolio is advertise the museum in which all his work resides but to also show people his artwork digitally. Once you manage to get to his artwork you can see he did a wide variety of work like animals, portraits and a lot of self-portraits. Theirs even a biography to accompany it to try and show people how he lived and how it affected the thought process and evolution of his artwork.
Obviously the thing about online portfolios is that you can't see the work in proportion and other fine detail like brushstrokes and subtle marking. On the other hand you can see the entire variety of his work all organised, dated and described in detail. The thing about this site that I really liked is that they encourage you to come see the work in person because they think seeing it in real life is an experience which completely wipes out just looking at them on a website.
