Cool. Reminds me of the music video for Goodbye Blue Sky.

This painting by Manet is a favourite that is on the wall above my bed.

I much prefer Manets Olympia.

Well, as this is a picture of my computer, I think Olympia would be a one too many naked females about the place.

I think it's going to be my favourite thread.
I would like to share something I like very much, I was impressed by this painting as a child.
Hope you like too.

Seated Demon by Vrubel.

You should have posted it on the Name the Painting thread, I would never have got it.

I think, Brian, it would be unfair to post a picture which is not well-known outside of Russia.

Surely Brian... you can never have too many naked females about the place?:devil:

Bonnard's exquisite painting of his wife is still one of my absolute favorite paintings of all time... and actually painted in the 20th century!

I would have.:devil: But then I used to do something like this for a living.:sosp:

Not if you like the quiet life.:nod:

Peredvizhniki are the group of artists I like the most.

Here is one of the most famous in Russia, the reproduction of this painting can be found almost in every provincial house:

Do you think the boys in the boat are aware of the sinister face lurking above? The one boy with arms raised may be and in fact taunting it.

Quite majestic especially the trees. As I scrolled through the image, I noticed the swallows gliding just above the dirt road and what appear to be two threshers.

A favorite that always comes to mind and it too features a girl, although she is not in her birthday suit, is Johannes Vermeer’s “Girl with a Pearl Earring”

Here is another I recently discovered and grew fond of while reading “The Brother’s Karamazov”. The novel makes reference to Kramskoi’s “Contemplation”. As I was researching “Contemplation” I discovered “Portrait of a Woman”, which I found to be more appealing:

I have never seen the original painting but I can imagine that looking at it you would feel the smell of the dusty road, hear the sound of swifts and feel the heat of this almost cloudless sunny day.
