That's strange because it has transferred OK on my computer. Maybe we ought to wait to see if others don't have it also.
Finding out the Serov picture wasn't difficult, because that chair Levitan is sitting in definitely looked Russian to me, and I know you like Russian painters.

Ooh, we have a poster of that one in the department - it's Paysage à Cassis by Andre Derain.
Hmm... Probably an easy one...
"I should only believe in a God that would know how to dance. And when I saw my devil, I found him serious, thorough, profound, solemn: he was the spirit of gravity- through him all things fall. Not by wrath, but by laughter, do we slay. Come, let us slay the spirit of gravity!" - Nietzsche

This isn't as easy as it appears. I have looked at a large number of pictures of fat women; not, as you may imagine, an agreeable experience but it seems that was how they liked them in those days. Although I was fairly sure that it was by Rubens I was unable to trace it. I take it that it is 17th century Dutch or German.

No Brian it can't be Rubens, it was created before Rubens was born.Hmm... Probably an easy one...

The artist name is Jan Mabuse, his real name is Gossaert who lived from 1478 – to October 1532 and the painting title is 'Venus And a Mirror.
Rubens was born 45 years after Mabuse died.
She is not fat - she is curvy.
I know that the following painting will be so easy to find out, but I just love it!

It's one of the many Water Lilies paintings by Claude Monet; but I have no idea which one specifically. It's really beautiful. I like it, too.

Dang... I knew it was Gosseart but I kept searching under "Vanity".
