I've only looked over their painting selection, but I have seen far nicer works go for far less at Skinner's and Sotheby's auctions (in and near Boston). If this site jives your interest at all, I highly recommend looking through an art auction catalog. You can find GORGEOUS 18th and 19th century pieces for excellent prices (Less than $2000) at many auctions. Here's a Skinner's online catalog: http://issuu.com/skinnerinc/docs/2655b_paintings/1 http://issuu.com/skinnerinc/docs/2655b_paintings/1 (It's worth noting that everyone likes different things, and its entirely possible I am unimpressed with Amazon's offering because its different than most of my aesthetic expectations, and not because the art Amazon is offering is unimpressive.)
