French / Landscape / Paintings (Reproductions) - 12 months ago - troycapc
This is a reproduction of Stanislas Lepine’s “Le Pont de la Tournelle” of 1862. This is a lovely landscape of the Tournelle Bridge in Paris as it appeared in 1862. The artist was twenty-eight when he painted this having been a student of Corot for three years. His favorite subject was the river Seine which he repeated represented. He participated in the first Impressionist exhibition in 1874 and he won the first prize at the Exhibition of 1889. He died in Paris in 1892. This is a fine example of his work and it is in The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.

Orpheus Leading Eurydice from the Underworld by Jean Corot of 1861
Academician / French / Greco-Roman / Paintings (Reproductions) - 1 year ago - troycapc
A reproduction of Jean Corot’s “Orpheus Leading Eurydice from the Underworld”, 1861. 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.
