Amazon Selling Fine Art, Internet Responds Accordingly: Selection Of Hilarious Reviews On A $1.5M Monet

So, Amazon is beta-testing a fine art section connected with renowned galleries that sells paintings, drawings, etchings and the like from some of the world's most famous artists. However, because this the Internet (and many of the offerings are above the $1M mark), the response has been decidely sarcastic. I've compiled some of the best reviews from Claude Monet's L'Enfant a la tasse, portrait de Jean Monet, a $1.5M oil painting below:

Beautiful Painting, Hard To Hang (5 Stars)

It's a beautiful painting, and I'm glad I purchased it. The only problem I have is that I couldn't figure out where to hang it. Every other day, I ring my bell and wait for my butler to come. "Jeeves, can you please move the Monet to the solarium?" "Jeeves, can you please move the Monet to the library? No, not that library. The one on the third floor." It's a small painting, so finding a space where it can be showcased is difficult.

Well, finally this morning, Jeeves and I figured it out. Would you believe the Monet fits just perfectly over the toilet? It really brings the bathroom together, with the blue stripes on the bowl matching the towels and the fluffy toilet seat cover. My husband says it's a little creepy looking into the eyes of the rosy cheeked L'Enfant as he uses the toilet, but I'm sure he'll get used to it.

One Major Problem (3 Stars)

Who would pay over a million dollars for a painting that's in French?

Well, I guess if you got it... 

Cheaper options abound (2 Stars)

I ordered this product back in June for $1.4 million, but in July I found a similar painting by Van Gogh on sale at Target for only $800k, so I returned this one and had to pay a $14.99 restocking fee, ridiculous!!! 

And then we have my personal favorite...

USED? PAINTING HAS CRACKS!

For as much as I paid I'm a little upset that this isn't a new painting. You can see OBVIOUS cracks and I'm worried that the artwork has had several owners before me. I might return to Amazon if I can't get in touch with the seller. 1 out of 5 stars.

L'enfant isn't the only painting to get this treatment. The most expensive work on the site Norman Rockwell's Willie Gillis: Package from Home (which can be yours for a cool $4.5M) has similar reviews.

Here's a sample:

First, this product "usually ships within 4 to 5 days"; bs, I had to wait well over a month for mine to arrive, and when it finally did the box was all dinged up like it had been mishandled by USPS. Then, when I opened my "original" Norman Rockwell, the classic "Package from Home" was actually a canvass refrigerator magnet covered in cooking oil! The product dimensions specifically state that this piece is 51 inches by 39 inches. Sure, the frame is that big, but the piece itself is no more than 1 by 2 inches. It looks ridiculous sitting atop my fireplace. 

Oh, Internet, you so crazy.
