I begin today with another work by a Dutch artist- but certainly not a Dutch landscape. This is Waterfall, by Jacob Van Ruisdael, dating to the 1660s.
Here we have an unusual work- As The Old Sing, So The Young Pipe, by Jacob Jordaens and his workshop, dating circa 1640.
Peter Lely painted The Countess Of Meath around 1674.
This is The Glory Of Saint Eusebius, a final design that was transferred in full scale to the ceiling of a church. This is by Anton Raphael Mengs, dating around 1757.
Young Woman With A Fan looks like she's had enough of the artist. This is by Pietro Rotari, and dates circa 1754-56.
An Allegory Of The Arts is by Giuseppe Maria Crespi, and dates around 1730.
Did u spot that owl in the second pic? So cool! The use of the colour gold can be seen in each of these works. I like it.
