I find out what shows are currently seen or will be seen at famous galleries here and in Europe. And there are a lot of art videos to watch: lots on Van Gogh, Leonardo, Michelangelo, and to a lesser extent Klimt, Matisse, Vermeer, Degas, Renoir, all the Impressionists really, Monet's gardens, Manet, de la Croix, Picasso, etc. Then there are Giotto, Fra Angelico, Fra Lippo Lippi. Studies in Madonnas, the Crucifixion, Last Suppers. Move on to Rembrandt (the greatest of them all) and study the Return of the Prodigal Son which will move you to tears. Then try to sleep.
