The painting is at the Nationalal Gallery in London.  Giovanni Domenico was born in Venice, the eldest surviving son of Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, whose assistant he became. He worked in Venice, Würzburg and Vicenza. In 1762 he accompanied his father to Madrid, and on his death in 1770 returned to Venice.  Although overshadowed by his father, Giovanni Domenico was a significant painter in his own right. His work is more down to earth and less allegorical than his father's.</description><link>http://www.imagekind.com/Procession-of-the-Trojan-Horse_art_art?IMID=0394691f-47f4-42af-babb-004f5cdb1613</link></item><item><title>The Storm by Pierre-August Cot</title><description>&lt;img src='http://thumbs.imagekind.com/member/1ea3a58f-8f3d-4888-af20-ce786bc2afd3/uploadedartwork/100X100/b4233d0d-cecb-4484-bb9c-715557226992.jpg' alt='b4233d0d-cecb-4484-bb9c-715557226992' border="0" /&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;This is a reproduction of Pierre-Auguste Cot's masterpiece, "The Storm" of 1880.

This nineteenth century Romantic artist probably most closely adhered to French Classicism in his work.  He was a kind and generous man who died in 1875 at the age of seventy-nine years.

In this work, Corot is depicting the Greek legend of Orpheus leading his beloved Erydice from Hades.  This captured moment is just prior to the moment when Orpheus turns back to gaze on Eurydice.  This broke his pledge to the Lord of the Underworld and his beloved faded from sight, never to be seen by moral eyes again.</description><link>http://www.imagekind.com/Orpheus-Leading-Eurydice-from-the-Underworld_art_art?IMID=c71f603b-3f48-4daf-bba9-41f2bd1b18a2</link></item><item><title>Diver Two</title><description>&lt;img src='http://thumbs.imagekind.com/member/1ea3a58f-8f3d-4888-af20-ce786bc2afd3/uploadedartwork/100X100/d2e7a756-0fb0-442f-a26b-63dd04d819e9.jpg' alt='d2e7a756-0fb0-442f-a26b-63dd04d819e9' border="0" /&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Second in a series of eight works from the Tomb of the Diver.  This tomb was created in about 480 Before the Common Era and was discovered in 1968.

Troy Caperton has restored eight images taken fromthe tomb and presents them here for your consideration.  Any lover of Classical Greece or of the lifestyle of the Ancients will find this series fascinating.

The second panel is taken from the roof of the tomb and depicts a naked boy diving into a pool of water.  The image gives the name for the entire tomb.

The diver is depicted in flight, almost certainly a metaphor for the flight of the soul from one life to the next, a dive into the unknown, the purifying waters of the universe.  This is perhaps related to the purification symbols of Pythagorean philosophy which preached the reincarnation of the soul.</description><link>http://www.imagekind.com/Diver-Two_art_art?IMID=d2e7a756-0fb0-442f-a26b-63dd04d819e9</link></item><item><title>Douleur d'amour, the Pain of Love</title><description>&lt;img src='http://thumbs.imagekind.com/member/1ea3a58f-8f3d-4888-af20-ce786bc2afd3/uploadedartwork/100X100/de942484-93cd-4671-a7bf-98f0758cae65.jpg' alt='de942484-93cd-4671-a7bf-98f0758cae65' border="0" /&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;This is a wonderful work of the Neo-Classical Master Bougereau which he entitled, Douleur damour.

After 22 years in Munich, Kandinsky returned to Russia in 1918 but found his art was not in favor.  He returned to Germany, but the rise of the Nazis in 1933 led him to remove to France.  He died there in 1944.   This 1913 composition is one of Kandinsky’s most famous and is a wonderful study in form and color.

This work of Church was the result of his expeditions to South America in 1853 and 1857.  He was inspired by Baron Alexander von Humbolt who had explored the region at the end of the previous century.  In this painting Church makes use of Luminism which, in American 19th century painting, refers to the use of the depiction of bright light and the minimalization of the effects of brushstrokes.  This work is currently at the National Gallery of Art in Washington.
Frederic Church was the leading artist of the second generation of the Hudson River School.  By the time of this work, he was the most famous contemporary American artist at the age of thirty-four years.  He had been a student of Benjamin Cole.  As tastes changed after 1865, Church’s popularity with the public began to fade but he continued to paint and was very comfortable due to the significant private wealth of his family.

This work of Church was the result of his 1859 sketching trip to the arctic.  The American imagination had been captured by the loss of the Franklin expedition in 1847 and Church fully participated in that fascination.  He showed the painting in 1861 but, not finding an American buyer, he added elements to the painting and shipped it to London where it was a sensation.  The work is currently at the Dallas Museum of Art.

This early work of Church was painted when he was twenty-three.  He has created a landscape without land and is probably one of the most audacious landscapes ever created.  All elements are either in the horizontal or diagonal save two upthrusting trees.  The use of a pink shade to the cloud bank is also stirring and somehow disturbing.
Frederic Church was the leading artist of the second generation of the Hudson River School.

This early work of Church was painted when he was twenty-one.  He is probably doing homage to his teacher Thomas Cole who also painted blasted trees.  This was a common motif among romantics and represents the power of nature and the fragility of life before that power.  This work is currently at the Cleveland Museum of Art.

This quentiessentially American work has had many interpreters and is a glorious celebration of the American wilderness.  The eagle on the left can be seen as a representation of the American icon of the nation; crossed trees in the work may suggest Christianity.  The scruffy and twisted pines may represent the imperfect yet strong elements of the landscape.  But the entire work is dominated by blazing red clouds of the sky at dusk, surely a reflection of the bloody storm-clouds threatening Church’s homeland, the Civil War which was to break out in the year following this work’s creation.  This work is currently at the Cleveland Museum of Art.

He maintained that position with prodigious creativity until he suffered a stroke in 1920.  He died three years later.</description><link>http://www.imagekind.com/Boys-on-the-Boat-by-Sorolla_art_art?IMID=a1b5fda5-494d-49a3-8348-552b846eccde</link></item><item><title>Warriors</title><description>&lt;img src='http://thumbs.imagekind.com/member/1ea3a58f-8f3d-4888-af20-ce786bc2afd3/uploadedartwork/100X100/c174af09-9dc4-4263-90b8-76f9376fd633.jpg' alt='c174af09-9dc4-4263-90b8-76f9376fd633' border="0" /&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;A reproduction of "Warriors", an abstract painting that hearkens to African origins and views of the defenders of family and home.</description><link>http://www.imagekind.com/Warriors_art_art?IMID=c174af09-9dc4-4263-90b8-76f9376fd633</link></item><item><title>Masters</title><description>&lt;img src='http://thumbs.imagekind.com/member/1ea3a58f-8f3d-4888-af20-ce786bc2afd3/uploadedartwork/100X100/a7aebcbc-f3d5-4030-8021-eae2e36d5628.jpg' alt='a7aebcbc-f3d5-4030-8021-eae2e36d5628' border="0" /&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;A reproduction of the painting "Masters", an abstract image of domineering masterful human forms.</description><link>http://www.imagekind.com/Masters_art_art?IMID=a7aebcbc-f3d5-4030-8021-eae2e36d5628</link></item><item><title>Desolation</title><description>&lt;img src='http://thumbs.imagekind.com/member/1ea3a58f-8f3d-4888-af20-ce786bc2afd3/uploadedartwork/100X100/5c1b31ea-45bf-4635-bc08-7dba34f7c6e3.jpg' alt='5c1b31ea-45bf-4635-bc08-7dba34f7c6e3' border="0" /&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;A reproduction of the painting "Desolation", a surrealistic image of improbable trees on a barren landscape symbolizing the lack of meaningful objects in many modern lives.</description><link>http://www.imagekind.com/Desolation_art_art?IMID=5c1b31ea-45bf-4635-bc08-7dba34f7c6e3</link></item><item><title>Paris at Dusk</title><description>&lt;img src='http://thumbs.imagekind.com/member/1ea3a58f-8f3d-4888-af20-ce786bc2afd3/uploadedartwork/100X100/fe1fefaa-e257-4649-a3b9-9e9b76334865.jpg' alt='fe1fefaa-e257-4649-a3b9-9e9b76334865' border="0" /&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;A reproduction of "Paris at Dusk", a colorful impressionist painting representing a Parisian street at dusk early in the last century.</description><link>http://www.imagekind.com/Paris-at-Dusk_art_art?IMID=fe1fefaa-e257-4649-a3b9-9e9b76334865</link></item><item><title>Dancing</title><description>&lt;img src='http://thumbs.imagekind.com/member/1ea3a58f-8f3d-4888-af20-ce786bc2afd3/uploadedartwork/100X100/809aeedd-5e52-443c-b71a-9b67c2caa118.jpg' alt='809aeedd-5e52-443c-b71a-9b67c2caa118' border="0" /&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;A reproduction of an abstract painting, "Dancing".

Kandinsky was born in Moscow in 1866 and was raised in Odessa.  He began painting at the age of 30 and is credited as the first artist to paint a modern abstract work of art.  After 22 years in Munich, Kandinsky returned to Russia in 1918 but found his art was not in favor.  He returned to Germany, but the rise of the Nazis in 1933 led him to remove to France.  He died there in 1944.   This 1913 composition is one of Kandinsky’s most famous and is a wonderful study in form and color.  The original painting is in the Hermitage in St. Petersburg.</description><link>http://www.imagekind.com/Composiiton-VII_art_art?IMID=e1e0d43e-49fb-4c35-9688-d8ad7a8055e2</link></item></channel></rss>
