Rosalba Carriera
- Young Lady With Parrot.
Next one -

Is it by Paul Klee?
Yes it is, Kyriakos. Over to you!
The painting is called Full Moon.
This painting has no title, so only the painter is needed :)

Anxious to find out who it is since I think the painting is very cool. Love the way the figures emerge from the brown cliffs and the man at the base is so diminished in size compared to the loaming figures - awsome!
The Young Lady with Parrot is beautiful - stunning really. Love her eyes!
Hint: The painter was murdered.
What is especially stunning about Rosalba Carriera's portrait of A Young Lady With Parrot, is that is was actually "painted" with pastel.:eek:
The painter was Zdzislaw Beksiński
The title is Morsir
Apparently Beksiński was a LOTR fan.
It can only be a matter of time before Opeth use that as an album cover.Quote:

Sorry... a few more images by our mystery painter:

The above two images are examples of this artist's work that I have come across on gallery web-sites. The works are are indeed on paper. There are elements in his work suggestive of Klimt, Gauguin, Jim Dine, R.B. Kitaj, and Degas... but his current major project(s) builds more upon the works of the great Italian masters and makes frequent reference to them.

I think that you should give the answer and it will be open floor :)
Sorry... haven't checked in in a while. Our artist is English, emigrated to Australia; moved back to England in his 20s where he worked as an art director. he later moved to France where he has been working as a professional artist. His recent body of work, focused upon the nude, has been undertaken in a French cathedral which he is also in the process of restoring.
I'll throw more clues on tomorrow if that doesn't help enough.
St. Lukes, this one is kicking may a**
Duvel is not helping either.
.
Born in 1943, the artist majored in architecture at Melbourne University. The artist's major work over the last decade began as a series of preliminary drawings intended as "cartoons" for a series of frescoes to cover the walls of a cathedral in Provence which the artist was involved in attempting to restore. This fresco project was abandoned due to a continual problem with rising damp in the walls, and the various drawings were exhibited (and sold) in a gallery exhibition in Belgium. The artist is involved in a second series of temporary "frescoes" on paper installed for the time being in the same cathedral in Provence.
If you have no luck with this, post something so that the thread pops up on the New Posts search and I am reminded to add further clues.
The cathedral is in Malaucène, France.
I don't feel too proud seeing that you practically gave it to us, but....
Michael Bastow
"...mixed media drawings on seven collaged paper panels, evoking the seven ages of woman."
Quoted from the following :
http://www.michael-bastow.com/chapel...is/chapel.html
An inspiring place to work, though the dampness would pose problems.
I'll need some time to round up the next challenge.

Here's the next challenge:

.
OK... I'm going to let that one go for a while and give someone else a chance because its simply too easy.
I know, I know...it was a lazy effort on my part and I knew you would have it pegged in no time.
We'll let it ride for a while assuming others are participating.
.
Some clues:
A portrait of the artist by Ottavio Leoni:
http://i963.photobucket.com/albums/a...e/MPclue-1.jpg
Italian, born in Milan
Come on, somebody besides St. Lukes.
.
Come on people! The man virtually invented the Baroque in art. He has to rank among the 10 most influential artists in the whole of Western art history. :sosp:
Caravaggio, The Conversion of St. Paul.
Mr. Terror, would you like to post the next painting?
.
Mortal asked me to post the next Mystery Painting. Considering how easy the last was I thought I'd post something almost as easy in order to perhaps motivate a few others to participate:

For me easy would be

LOL :biggrin5:
Anyway I got this one by Googling 'Venetian portraits' - Portrait of a Venetian Gentleman by “Giorgione and Titian” ? :confused:
Next one -
http://www.google.co.in/imgres?q=ira...Cr_CsAg&zoom=1
EDIT: Sorry the pictures aren't showing, at least on my computer. Can someone post the next painting?
Thanks Mathew!
I've been able to post pictures before, so I don't know what went wrong.
No idea what your painting is.
Clue time:
This painter is FRENCH. HE lived in the 18TH CENTURY. He has paintings in the LOUVRE, NATIONAL GALLERY, and this one is from the ART INSTITUTE OF CHICAGO. He had a SON WHO ALSO BECAME A PAINTER.
That should help.
.
Claude Joseph Vernet - "Morning"
Reminds me of Martin Johnson Heade's - "Thunder Storm on Narragansett Bay" that I posted a few pages back.

Clue: Mussorgsky

The particular piece above is a study for ballet costumes.
Here is Hartmann’s proposal for a new gate in Kiev:

And here is Mussorgsky’s movement through the gate:

Your turn Emil....
.
It's a pity that Mussorgsky never heard Ravel's magnificent orchestration of his piano score.
OK how about this one?

Clue: The Catacombs.
Viktor Hartmann's Paris Catacombs.
I'll post something up in the morning, when I can think of it!
Hmm, no idea whether this one will be easy or hard...
http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i4...whocanitbe.jpg
I'll give you a clue - it isn't related to Mussorgsky!
