So here's a sample of regular updates I plan to add, many of them Russian. I apologize in advance for low resolution on some of them. It's the price one pays for lesser known artists. I obtained most of these images from this collection.
I will usually post collections based on subject matter, theme, or individual artist.
 |
John Collier - The Confession Wow, what a piece! Cinematic in the way it focuses. |
 |
| Alexei Savrasov - The Rooks Have Come Back 1871 I like this scene because it's haunting and, well, odd... |
 |
| Alfred Guillou - The Arrival of the Procession of St Anne from Fouesnant to Concarneau. 1887 This is a good example of making a multiple figure composition simple! |
 |
| Anna Archer |
 |
| Arkhip Kuinji What an awesome painting, eastern in its powerful simplicity. I'll do a spotlight on this guy later on. |
 |
| Arseny Meschersky Alien landscape, anyone? |
 |
| Asta Norregaard Portrait of Elisabeth Fearnley in the Studio of the Artist Is the window representative of his canvas maybe? Cool scene anyhow. |
 |
| Breitner, George Hendirk (1857-1923) 1894 Girl in a White Kimono |
 |
| Brouwer, Adriaen (1605-1638) - 1635-38 The Bitter Drought OK, maybe not the greatest painting, but what a face! |
 |
| Carlo Cressini - La Stiratrici This painting is a great lesson on painting white. |
 |
| Frank Duveneck_The_Florentine_Girl Love the composition and palette in this. A solid piece. |
 |
| Frank Duveneck - The Music Master I think this looks like a digital painting for some reason... like something Craig Mullins or Jaime Jones would do. |
 |
| Flavitskiy I'm curious to know the story behind this piece. I don't think I've ever seen an indoor flood painting... |
 |
| Franciszek Zmurko I thougt this was interesting because of its visual portrayal of magic. If this was painted today, it would probably be all glowy and colorful. |
 |
| Gottfrid Kallstenius Some great rim lighting going on here! |
 |
| Henry Gervex - The Operation |
 |
| John White Alexander Wow! |
 |
| Ivan Shishkin - In the North wild Nothing extremely special about this Painting. Just unique for landscape painting of that time. |
 |
| Ivan Shishkin - Morning in piny wood (study) I think this study came out better than the final. |
 |
| Ivan Shishkin - Oaks, evening (study for picture Oak-wood) While this piece is a little flat, it has some great rhythm going on! |
 |
| Ivan Shiskin - Rain in an oak forest |
 |
| Jacek Malczewski - Faith Very interesting painter, I highly recommend looking up. Will probably spotlight. |
 |
| Jacques Barcat (French, 1877-1955) just a good example of green in skin. |
 |
| James Cadenhead |
 |
| Jan Hendrik Weissenbruch - Autumn L. Landscape. 41x67cm Oil on canvas |
 |
| John White Alexander - Onteora The value simplicity makes me think of N. C. Wyeth |
 |
| John White Alexander - Repose. 1895. Oil on canvas 133x162cm. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY One top-notch composition. Can't believe this guy wasn't mentioned once at art school. |
 |
| Joseph-Fortune Layraud - Saint-Chamonds Iron and Steelfactory. 1889. Oil on canvas I'm a big fan of paintings depicting early industry. Must be the steampunker in me. |
 |
| Lance Calkin (1859 – 1936, English) - The Young Shepherdess I love how warm he made the shadows. Also her personality. Reminds me of someone I knew back in middle school. |
 |
| Marceli Harasimowicz - Prey of Ravens Look at how much her shape mimics those ravens! |
 |
| Metcalf - Thawing Brook |
 |
| Nikolai Yaroshenko Ok, maybe not the most interesting compositionally. But i just love the way it captured her personality. There's something so spontaneous and "modern" about it. |
 |
| Nikolai Yaroshenko |
 |
| Onda Blocklin Can't find anything on him/her. |
 |
| Paul Peel That warm light reminds me of Anders Zorn. |
 |
| Paul-Albert Besnard - Portrait of Mme Roger Jourdain. 1886. Oil on canvas 200x155cm Strange painting, flawed in some ways but something I like about it. |
 |
| Ilya Repin Would you want to hand out with this guy at a party? |
 |
Nicolai Fechin What awesome palette and markmaking! |
 |
| Richard Bergh I love the shape massing going on here. |
 |
| Ridgway Knight - Hailing the Ferryman. 1888. Oil on canvas. 164x211cm Solid painting, wonderful atmosphere. |
 |
| Robert Frederick Blum - Venetian Lace Workers. 1887. 77x105cm. Oil on canvas |
 |
| Saint-Germier Joseph (1860-1925) |
 |
| Sargent - Madame Erraruriz Yeah, yeah, we all know Sargent so this might not belong here. Too bad. |
 |
| Sargent - Spanish Woman What beautiful lighting and bone structure! And androgyny FTW. |
 |
| Sir William Orpen Wow, what a bold move. |
 |
| Stanhope Forbes |
 |
| Tanner, Henry Ossawa (1859-1937) - 1893 The Banjo Lesson |
 |
| Tanner, Henry Ossawa (1859-1937) - Anunciation Always interesting seeing how magic is portrayed then compared to now. |
 |
| Theodore Clement Steele - Pleasant Run This makes me want to be bolder in my environments, value-wise. |
 |
| Wilhelm Leibl - Reims Cathedral |
 |
| Winter Landscape at Kaivopuisto Monet-like colors, but less vague. Good combo. |
 |
| Unknown artist :-( What a great portrait. |
 |
| Unknown artist :-( |
 |
| Unknown artist :-( Masterful painting though, love the light. |
 |
| (you can see his signature on the painting) What an awesome portrait! The most heroic-looking peasant girl I've ever seen. Great brushwork too. |
