As a child I was amazed by this picture and always hoped that they would escape.
Got it! It's Konstantin Makovsky's Children Running From A Thunderstorm.
This one shouldn't be too difficult (but then, I said that the last time!):

Albrecht Dürer is one of my favorite artists,
Adam and Eve 1507.
It's unbelievable that this picture was painted more than 5 centuries ago!!!
Here is the next picture:

Aron Wiesenfeld. "Dog"
I love his stuff, there's always a mystery behind them.
I'll post a painting soon.
The artist name is Aron Wiesenfeld and the first picture title it Dog if I am not mistaken, the second David and the last one is Train Tunnel.
Sorry while I was looking for a picture to post I missed my turn. Next time.
Sorry Olga, you go ahead.
No, no, no!Quote:

Ok, just to keep the game going I post what I wanted to post last night.

prendrelemick will post next time, I hope.
Flowers In Vase - Marc Chagall (I love the small figures to the right...)
How about some more flowers? :D

It's so beautiful! Thank you for posting this picture!
Eduard Monet, Peonies in a Vase, or Vase of Peonies.
And if we talk about flowers, here is my question.

Here is another work by this artist.

This artist is a Russian portraitist - here is another portrait made by him:

I didn't think it would be so difficult to find out.
It's Alexander Pushkin - I hadn't known the others until I saw that last one.
Right, this is a hard one. What I'm after is the name of the manuscript these illustrations are from, but if you want to provide the artist's name, that's up to you:

Ha - you're in my world now! We needed some medievalism in here. I'll provide more clues if people get stuck.
Yes it's a portrait of Pushkin but who is the artist? You haven't named the first original picture either.Quote:

Right I'll post something when I manage to hide the signiture.
What a great picture! I love it!

@Olga - I'm sorry! I thought it was a self-portrait! There's me getting ahead of myself again.
@prendrelemick - Crikey, that was fast! I had hoped this one would keep people occupied for a while... How did you know?
This mystery artist was one of the greatest Russian landscape 'plain-air' painters. Master of 'mood landscape' he worked in genre symbolism and modernist style principles.
Here are two of his works, I hope it helps:

No problem, Pushkin did some drawings but he never painted, as far as I know, he was talented in other area.Quote:

I know the artist, who also did one of my all time favourites-
http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k7...k/images-3.jpg
But I cant find the first picture anywhere.
Isaac Levitan:In the Vicinity of Bordiguera, in the North of Italy.
That is what threw me, I could see that it wasn't in Russia but I didn't know Levitan had been outside of Russia.

Now is this turning into a nationalist game with Olga and her Russians, Brian and the English, and me with the Americans? So perhaps I should seek out some obscure Minimalist Conceptualist?
A few more by our mystery artist:

Our mystery artist is clearly a top-notch "draftsman".
I dont know the artist, but I'd like to live in that house.Quote:

The painter of all these lovely female nudes is not a guy!
Hmmmmm.....:confused5:

Now come on, Brian... Yeats knew what he was talking about when he suggested that the only two subjects worthy of serious contemplation were sex and death.

Was there a subject beside the nude that shows up more in Michelangelo, Titian, Tintoretto, Rubens, Ingres, Renoir, Degas, Bonnard, Picasso, Matisse, etc...?
Returning to our mystery artist... she is a master draftswoman whose work focuses almost exclusively upon the female nude. Her paintings are all made from life. She employs natural poses drawn from everyday life... from intimate or introspective moments when women are alone (without men). She has mastered a handling of flesh tone that suggest a certain translucency... and an inner glow that is greatly indebted to Rubens. Our artist was born in Paris and continues to live, work, and exhibit in France.
The artist is Francine Van Hove, and the breakfast scene with the baguettes is called, er, Le petit déjeuner aux baguettes.
I'm off to France for a while, and I shan't be around to participate - so I'll hand the initiative back to stlukesguild.
Not hunting down Francine's studio, now, are we?:ladysman:
OK... I'll try to find something equally... tantalizing.:ihih:
