The Baroque Room is a large space within the world galleries at the National Gallery of Canada. It is a delight to see, with artworks of a religious, mythological, or historical nature.
Landscape With A Woman Washing Her Feet is a 1650 painting by Nicolas Poussin.
Claude Lorrain painted Landscape With A Temple Of Bacchus in 1644.
The Abduction Of Europa evokes the Greek myth, and is by Guido Reni, dating circa 1636.
The Repentant Magdalene dates circa 1565-70, and was done by Veronese.
For today, I finish with the dramatic oil painting The Departure Of Abraham For Canaan, circa 1570, by Jacopo Bassano.
The portraits are so lively

ReplyDeleteDefinitely.
DeleteIt's amazing how each artwork, whether religious, mythological, or historical, has its own story to tell. The details behind the paintings you mentioned, like Poussin's Landscape With A Woman Washing Her Feet and Reni's The Abduction of Europa, really bring the era to life. What a beautiful way to connect with history through art.
