google艺术计划让我们在家也能欣赏博物馆的著名画作，通过维基百科或者google Arts & Culture 检索，都会得到画作相关图片和信息，维基百科的图像能够轻松下载，并且连有博物馆链接。虽然艺术计划中中国画作几乎没有，但是国内博物馆和个人博客的评析稍能补足缺陷。
这幅《Men of Progress》将它译之为《人类的进步》，画面上画了19位科学家齐聚一堂，这幅画是Jordan Lawrence Mott（燃煤炉的发明者）委托画家Christian Schussele 绘画十八位科学家及Mott的集体肖像。

In 1857, the inventor of a coal-burning stove, Jordan Mott, commissioned Christian Schussele to paint a group portrait of eighteen American scientists and inventors who "had altered the course of contemporary civilization." As with Schussele's celebration of American letters, Washington Irving . . . at Sunnyside, the group portrait did not mark an actual occasion but was designed to honor the achievements of American industry. The artist sketched study portraits of each of his subjects before putting them all into his final, formal composition. Men of Progress is a remarkable document of the growth of the American economy by the 1850s as it celebrates the inventions and processes of manufacturing pioneered by men such as Cyrus McCormick, Charles Goodyear, Samuel Colt, Samuel Morse, Elias Howe, and fourteen others.
