A Woman Bathing
Dutch / Paintings (Reproductions) / Rembrandt - 11 months ago - troycapc
This is a reproduction of “A Woman Bathing” of 1654 by Rembrandt van Rijn. This is probably a portrait of Hendrickje Stoffens who was the artist’s common-law wife. She bore him a daughter in the year of this painting. The red robe in the painting may indicate that the subject matter was originally Bathsheba or Diana. The brushwork appears to be unusually spontaneous for Rembrandt and several sections appear to be unfinished. Yet the artist signed the work which indicates that he considered it completed. The masterpiece is 47 cm wide and 61.8 cm high and is in the National Gallery, London.

Diana and Endymion of 1822 by Jerome-Martin Langlois
Academician / French / Greco-Roman / Neoclassical / Paintings (Reproductions) - 1 year ago - troycapc
Langlois was born in 1779, the son of a miniature painter who studied with Jacques-Louis David against his father’s wishes. He helped his teacher in his masterworks and developed a style which was polished and known for its severe settings. In 1805 he won second place at the Prix de Rome and first place four years later. In 1824 he painted his teacher shortly before David’s death and was elected to the Academie des Beaux-Art shortly before his own death in 1838 Paris. This 1822 depiction of the myth of Diana and Endymion was painted in about 1822 and is in a private collection having been sold at Sotheby’s in 1989.

Artemis, known to the Romans as Diana
American / Caperton / Greco-Roman / Inspirational prints / Neoclassical - 1 year ago - troycapc
This is a re-constructionist image of Artemis, the virgin huntress among the Olympians, who was the twin sister of Apollo. She is here depicted listening the the report of a woodland bird, perhaps telling her of a defilement of the sanctuary of the wild creatures of the woods of whom she was the protectress.
