Starting off today, we have Waterloo Bridge: Effect Of Sunlight In The Fog, a 1903 oil painting by the master of Impressionism, Claude Monet, with the bridge just barely visible in a heavy fog.
Fellow Impressionist Alfred Sisley painted The Hillsides At Bougival in 1875.
This is a recent acquisition for the Gallery. Sunshine In The Drawing Room is a 1910 painting by Danish artist Vilhelm Hammershoi. Hammershoi often featured his wife in a painting, as is done here.
Bowl With Zinnias And Other Flowers is the title of this 1886 painting by Vincent Van Gogh.
Young Woman In A Grey Cloak was painted between 1920-24 by British artist Gwen John.
I'll be wrapping up the tour tomorrow. Today I conclude with a sculpture by Jacob Epstein. Torso From The Rock Drill. Originally meant to be part of a larger sculpture, this bronze is the only part of the design that was cast. It reminds me of something out of Tolkien.
Oh, wonderful. Now I have that ABBA-earworm!!
ReplyDeleteWe have a street called "Waterloo Strasse" and every time... ahhh...
I like the Impressionist´s work, too.
Big wow to the work of Hammershoi!
Addendum: I do like ABBA, but I hate earworms!
ReplyDeleteI like every one of those paintings. Thank you for showing them.
ReplyDeleteThe paintings are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite are The Hillsides At Bougival and the Bowl With Zinnias And Other Flowers!
Wonderful. Gwen John is one of my favourite artists. I like the Hammershoi interior too:)
ReplyDeleteThat is a funny looking sculpture in the last picture.
ReplyDeleteThis is the period I love and which inspired me to start painting it was from impressionism on. I have seen an exhibition of Claude Monet in Paris ! My favorite painter since I was however remains van Gogh !
