Masterpieces Of A Bygone Period

 Elisabeth Louise Vigee  Le Brun was a prolific artist from France who spent time in exile during the French Revolution. Here we have Countess Anna Ivanova Tolstoya, a 1796 work by her.


Anne-Louis Girodet de Roucy-Trioson painted this portrait with a showstopper of a name- Erneste Bioche de Misery in 1807.


A wider view.


Wisdom Defending Youth From The Arrows Of Love is a large 1810 canvas by Charles Meynier.


Love Seduces Innocence, Pleasure Entraps, And Remorse Follows is by Pierre-Paul Prud-hon, dating to 1809.


The next couple of gallery spaces were actually closed off for reorganization or a new paint job to the walls, so I had to backtrack a bit to link up to further world art. For today, I finish with views of Dancer and this large space.

    The women are slimmer than on other old paintings, like Rubens.

    I suspect that if we have one thing in common, William, it is that we will both never sit for our portrait!

    The realism is astounding. Strange, though, there aren't many faces today that look like those women.
