Name the painting

Finland! The only Scandinavian country's artists I didn't search!

A few clues:

Our painter was also an accomplished architect.
Designed a "School of Art" for his home country (not American btw)

Two more pieces by the mystery painter:

.

Gustav Klimt I believe...early years he studied as an architectural painter.

Charles Mackintosh. The second one gave it away.

Baudolina,
Looks like you are new to the forums, so welcome.
Charles Rennie Macintosh is the artist, however the object of the game is to name the painting as well.
Since you are new to the game, I will show some mercy. hehe

The original challenge painting is titled "The Fort" (Fort Mailly).

And now Baudolina, it is your turn to post the next mystery painting.
Make sure the artist name does not appear on the painting.

How do I include an image?

When typing a response, one may wish to include an image. Here is how:

Step One - Find the image you would like to include on the internet. It must be just the image and not an image on a blog.

Step Two - Copy the URL.

Step Three - As you type your response, in the tool bar, there is a yellow icon with mountains. Click it.

Step Four - Past the URL here. Click Okay.

Step Five - Type the rest of your post and click submit reply!

Actually, that's not quite it. If you link to the picture's address on the web, it will show up when people reply to the post containing the image - which is a bit of a giveaway. For instance, the name of the artist and the painting is included in Baudolina's post. (Don't look - take my word for it.)


Usually people copy the image to a file-sharing site such as Photobucket and change its name - then no one can get at the source of the image as copied.

OK, for now it's an honor system!

Remedios Varo
Creation of the Birds

No need for me to peek. As a huge fan of Heironymus Bosch, I was immediately enamored of Varo, whom I first came across while still in art school. She was herself a major Bosch fanatic.

Ah! That may have been how someone got Sugar Loaf Mountain in a matter of hours. I thought it would be a real stumper.

Nah, give me a bit of credit! Like the source of most of my art knowledge, it's on a poster in the department.

The current MM is surely ideally suited (or not) to the bibliophile:
