Another by our mystery artist:

My boyfriend guesses: "Cimabue?"

the subject looks like the ascension.

Looks like a mixture of byzantine iconography with tones of the orient :)

Thye second is a picture of the ascension by Loenzo Monaco but I have been unable to trace the first picture.

"The Three Marys at the Tomb" by Monaco Lorenzo or should I say Lorenzo Monaco?
and Brian named the second painting.

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.
