Claude and Renee is a lovely 1903 painting by Auguste Renoir.
Vilhelm Hammershoi is an artist I had not been familiar with until the Gallery added this painting into its collection some years ago. Sunshine in the Drawing Room is from 1910.
Hope I is a moody but poignant work by Gustav Klimt, from 1903.
Here we have Iris, an 1890 painting by Vincent van Gogh.
Today I conclude with Meadow and Farm of Jas de Bouffon. This circa 1885-87 painting is by Paul Cezanne.
I think the Van Gogh is my favourite from that selection. Or maybe the Cezanne.
ReplyDelete"Hope" looks a bit scary to me.
ReplyDelete"Hope" my Brother finds the card my Dad painted for Mother´s day, it, too, features that flower.
How they dressed little girls looks very cute, but poor thing, how to make sandcastles with that outfit ?
ReplyDeleteThe first painting by Auguste Renoir is a beautiful study of his son and nurse.

ReplyDeleteI especially like the light in 'Sunshine in the Drawing Room'.
ReplyDeleteDelightful group of paintings William, I do love Gustave Klimt's work 💛
ReplyDeleteThe Drawing Room is lovely, quite moody.
ReplyDeleteThe first painting is my favourite.
ReplyDeleteSunshine in the Drawing Room - a masterpiece indeed!

@Nancy: it really stands out.
@Magiceye: I certainly agree.
What a group! Fabulous, William.
ReplyDeleteI like the first portrait and the irises.
ReplyDeleteI loved all of these, but the Klimt caught my attention from remembering the feeling of having babies changing my own shape...and once I did take a photo of myself with a babe pushing my belly out to that unbelievable protuberance. Out of all that volume comes just this tiny little thing! But this painting is about the forces of beginning of life and endings.
ReplyDeleteI like the Van Gogh and the Renoir.
ReplyDeleteMasterpieces indeed, William!
ReplyDeleteThese are all beautiful and by very well known artists. I had never seen even a picture of that Klimt painting before. How interesting!
ReplyDeleteI had never seen that Klimt before. My favourites are the Renoir and the Van Gogh :)
ReplyDelete@RedPat: thanks!
ReplyDelete@Anvilcloud: me too.
@Barbara: it is captivating.
@Fun60: they're both great.
@Karl: very much so.
@Sharon: there are a couple of other Klimt paintings on extended loan here, but photos not allowed.
@Sami: it's been a long while since I last featured that Klimt.
There are works by very well known artists on display here, I really need to visit this gallery one day!
ReplyDeleteYou should!
DeleteThe drawing room painting, reminds me of an old work place that had a similar sofa in the front hall.
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting what memories art draws out.
DeleteFantastic masterpiece display and great photos ~ Xo

ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteThe top one is a beautiful painting, I'd hang it in my house.
ReplyDeleteMe too.
DeleteI'd rush to that exhibit if there.
ReplyDeleteI love this place.
DeleteThese I recall seeing!
ReplyDeleteThey stick in the memory.
DeleteI'm not familiar with Hammershoi either. It's a lovely piece. And of course you can't go wrong with Van Gogh and irises!
ReplyDeleteI've seen others of his since at a temporary exhibit here. He had a vivid style.
