This is truly fascinating, in the original sense of the word: it's hard to take your eyes off it. (And has a nicely complementary solo cello soundtrack.)
If I had more familiarity with art in general, I'd get all geeky about that aspect of it, but as it is I can't even guarantee that the creator of the video used paintings in chronological order (although I do recognize many of them, and I did notice a couple of obvious stylistic shifts, e.g., impressionism and modernism). Technically, though, the morphing was very nicely done.
One random observation: the morphing, which gives the impression of the face turning back and forth, reminds me of how uncomfortable some of those poses must have been for the model. :P
