All Intensive Purposes

The Guardian's new art blog has a list of twenty paintings to see before you die. (I'm hoping to fit in a few more than that.) There's a purported link to a slideshow of the twenty, but it didn't work for me. Assuming that you'll need to travel to see them, here's where they are:

Madrid (3)
New York (2)
Rome (2)
Florence (2)
Houston
London
Paris
Colmar, France
The Hague
Basel
Syracuse, Sicily
Naples
Moscow
St. Petersburg
Cairo
Cape Town

That's a lot of ground to cover.
