Name the painting

"The Three Marys at the Tomb" by Monaco Lorenzo or should I say Lorenzo Monaco?

Sorry Brian, I had them named for a while now, but I was taking time to process the next image.

Here it is:

Here is another painting by our mystery artist.

OK folks, this is no obscure artist, his work is well known and fetches large sums at auction. He was a naturalised French citizen and a one time member of Les Fauves. Unfortunately, his signature is prominently displayed on many of his paintings so I have had to resort to those without the tell tale name.

Yes; the same reaction I had when I came upon Motley's "Nightlife" at the Art Institute in Chicago. "Nightlife" is very similar to "Saturday Night"

Brian,

I am trying.
I just went through the "Fauvest" artists listed in the Wikipedia search.
What am I missing? !!!

Don't answer, I'll continue burning the midnight oil.

In order to conserve the midnight oil I will give another clue. This man loved to paint women; especially those wearing hats.

Brian,
After several reprimands from my project manager, several pots of coffee and several glasses of wine, I now have the answer:

Painter – Kees van Dongen

Original Challenge painting:
“Marocaines au cap Spartel”
1910

Second and third paintings respectively:
“Anita au coeur vert"

Portrait of Commandant Requin

Next painting:

I make that as Bernini. I'm going to check this, hang on.

Saints Andrew and Thomas.

Thank goodness! I ran out of midnight oil last week with that one.

Now all we need is for Sixsmith to post another.

Here we go.

Brief Bernini aside -
Gian Lorenzo Bernini a dominant figure in Roman Baroque art more popularly associated with his magnificent sculptures and architectural accomplishments.
Bernini gave us treasures such as the “baldechino” centered under the dome of St. Peters in Roma, “Aeneas, Anchises and Ascanius”, “Ecstasy of Saint Theresa” and a particular favorite of mine; “Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi” at Piazza Navona.
Examples of architectural contributions include the Piazza of St. Peters with the embracing arms of the colossal colonnade and Sant'Andrea al Quirinale in Roma.

Another work from our mystery artist:

George Bellows:
Pennsylvania Station Excavation
Both Members of This Club

Nice job.
That one had me stumped


.

Thanks - I had no idea at first, but I recognised the second painting :p

The Raft of the Medusa by Gericault

Incidentally, Jazz, given the historical incident depicted, I think your tagline is particularly appropriate to the picture.



Next...

I was certain that this was Kees van Dongen... but I just couldn't seem to find this or the original painting on the "image" searches I ran. I long loved van Dongen's work... along with Bonnard's, Modigliani's and Matisse's.:smile5:

Yes St Lukes, I realise that my entries were not the obvious paintings of this artist, but I agree that his paintings are, from my limited perspective, excellent examples of their kind.

I first came across van Dongen years ago when one of his paintings was used for the cover of a paperback of The Great Gatsby. In checking him out, I found this among his more well known works but, as you can see, his name is very legibly painted on the canvas.

A clue to the mystery painting.

There is little information available about the artist but he is a Russian.

Thanks, I was about to put in a request for a clue.
My initial thoughts from a few days ago:
The failed attempt on Moscow given the vast snow covered steppe or Battle of the Bulge.
Another Russian huh?

Yes, I should have checked him out before posting the painting. I thought he might have been an official war artist but, from what I can gather, he was born long after the war. Under these circumstances, I may have to post another picture.

As the existing painting is unusually difficult to trace, I will tell you that it is called German Dead and was painted by one V.Safronov.
The next painting is on a similar theme and should be easier to pin down by those who know their modern European history.

Ahhh...I didn't realize you posted the answer!
I found the answer earlier this evening.
Here's where I found it:

Oh well, on to your next challenge.

Sorry Gilliatt,

That's where I found it also but it appears that the artist is the one born in 1961 and therefore it's not an actual wartime painting in the way that those by Paul Nash are. There are some landscapes painted by a V.Safronov but I don't know if it is the same man as I believe that the name is fairly common in Russia and there is not much forthcoming concerning him.
Anyhow, the second painting is much better than the first.

A bit easier; Maximilien Luce “Une rue de Paris en Mai 1871, La Commune”

http://www.musee-orsay.fr/en/collect...&zsz=5&lnum=15

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximilien_Luce

I searched “Paintings of dead revolutionaries on road” and it appeared on page 8 images.
Clues :
Barricade rubble = must be French!
Inclusion of young lady = revolutionaries

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris_Commune

Interesting piece of history.

The next challenge:

http://i963.photobucket.com/albums/a...nting11_13.jpg


.

Yes Gilliatt,

The Franco Prussian war and Paris Commune is related in Zola's brilliant novel La Débâcle and still lurks around the fringes of French politics to this day.
The second empire is a particularly fascinating period of French history and it is a pity that it ended in that way. I think the painting of the aftermath is very evocative of the period.

.

A couple of clues.

The painter:

Another manufactured painting by our mystery artist:

Gilliatt

Gothic Church on a Cliff by the Sea -Karl Friedrich Schinkel.

I knew Schinkel was an architect but I didn't know he was also an artist,
even though I had seen his painting The Queen of the Night somewhere or other.

Lyonel Feninger "The Lady in Mauve"

You happened to choose a painter that I admire, so it was a bit easier to figure out.
A couple of Feninger favorites of mine include:
"Gables I, Luneburg"
http://www.smith.edu/artmuseum/collections/paintings/
and
"Jesuiten III"

van gogh

Close enough, although we are also looking for the title of the painting which in this case is "Cottage with Woman Digging".

Epistemophile - Your turn to post the next painting.


.

Since Epistemophile seems to be missing, here is a new painting (an easy one) to get things going again :)

http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/2360/76680.jpg

Should i post a clue? I thought it was a pretty easy one :)

Clue: although not greek, this painter was in Greece when he was young.
