Does anyone have a interest in the art of Impressionists. Artists like Monet, Degas and Renoir? (43)
Tiger_Moth: That was a brilliant etching done on copper .
This has to be one of my favourite Rembrandt . Notice the dog bottom right barking at the drummer . Such attention to detail.
He is one artists who includes good looking hands in his work. A lot of artist avoid hands as much as possible.This has to be one of my favourite Rembrandt . Notice the dog bottom right barking at the drummer . Such attention to detail.

Grandsiozzie: Simple answer to that: it depends if you like 19th century French 'stuff'.
And... what does your gut feeing tell you sofar?
I think it has less to do with sympathy towards the painters
but more about what type of person you are yourself.
Me I like better Rembrandt and the norwegian romantishers like Tidemand and Gude.
A matter of taste.
On a tour of France, I visited Monet's home including the pond with the water lilies. I was entranced with his garden. Today hundreds of gardeners tend to his incomparable garden design. I do not pretend to know anything about art & am happy with that.And... what does your gut feeing tell you sofar?

Absolutely Gal. Apparently he was a stickler for detail. Hope you go to the exhibition as I'm sure it will be a wonderful event with much for the eye to absorb.I haven't got any exclusive art work obviously but I do like to have artwork in my home. I've got a lovely Bahner print of Venice which I love.

Somewhere I always wanted to go to but never got round to Helene. I have visited the Louvre but not quite the same as the artists's private home .Helene from red Deer

Tiger_Moth: Here's a Renoir which is also not precise.It's painting "en plein air" with oils.
The question with that pic (besides being poorly painted anyway) would be why are the right arm and hand are exaggerated. Nothing pretty or nice about it.------ This thread is Archived ------
galrads: I know little of them . However, I am trying to decide to attend an exhibition of their work this weekend. I do not know if ot will be worth the time. They must have been ok people though since they were vilified, attacked, and left penniless.
How wonderful! Yes! GO! If you’re into art. You will love it. It’s history! Enjoy, if you go. I went to the Art Institute of Chicago a few years ago, it has some fantastic impressionists. It’s cool to see paintings I’ve only seen as replicas or in books, or on the internet. To me it would be worth it. But that’s me. I want to go again, that place is too big to do in one day.

So the mountain is faked in Monet’s painting? The buildings in the painting are much more pleasant to view than the brick n mortar structures in the photo you showed.------ This thread is Archived ------
Most definitely significant point in art history use of colour and composition , effects of light..

No fake news lol."In 1895, while visiting Sandvika during a two month trip to visit his stepson Jacques Hoschedé, who lived in Oslo (then called Christiania), Claude Monet made an oil painting of the bridge. It was one of 29 works he painted on the trip, six of which feature scenes in Sandvika."
So the brick building you see in the background (a school) is of newer dato Gals.
Besides, the photo you see is taken so that the sign "Monet" is included.
But if you turn 90 degrees right you will still see the hill behind and actually some of the 1895 houses that is still there to this day. Agree in general that the architechture was nicer a hundered years ago or two.

Oh now this painting I love! I'd give $78 million for it to, if I had it. Can you pick holes in this one too as it sold for $78 million dollars.
