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.

Sorry Brian, I had them named for a while now, but I was taking time to process the next image.

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,

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.
