Another Use of Time in an Art Museum

Is to go into a single gallery and let the painting that live there speak to you as they speak to one another.  A minor gallery can be an excellent place to do this.  Here are four small paintings from the same gallery--4 of the 11 paintings that were there.  All diminutive landscapes.
The Tomb of Cecaelia Metella, c. 1830
Léon-Françoise-Antoine Fleury
1804-1858
  Mount Desert Island, Maine, 1864
Jervis McEntee
1828-1891
 The Artist Sketching at Mount Desert, Maine, 1864-1865
Sanford Robinson Gifford
1823-1880
Swiss Landscape, c. 1830
Alexandre Calame
1810-1864
