The Effect of Fog and Snow seen through a ruined Gothic Colonnade
Academician / British / French / Landscape / Paintings (Reproductions) - 1 year ago - troycapc
This is a reproduction of ” The Effect of Fog and Snow seen through a ruined Gothic Colonnade” of 1826 by Louis Daguerre. This masterpiece was produced by the inventor of the Daguerreotype system of photography. In his mid-thirties he invented the Diorama in 1822. Three years later he partnered with Niepce, the inventor of the first permanent photograph, in an effort to further the invention. In 1839 he announced the completion of the project and was awarded a patent by the French government. When it was released to the public domain by the government, a pension was given to Daguerre and Niepce’s son. The inventor died in 1851. The original painting is 60.5 inches wide and 40 inches high and is the third in a series of Scottish Dioramas. Daguerre was apparently awarded the Cross of the Legion of Honour by Charles X for the three paintings.

Houses of Parliament, 1904, Claude Monet
French / Impressionist / Paintings (Reproductions) - 1 year ago - troycapc
A reproduction of “Trouee de soleil dans le brouillard, Houses of Parliament, London, Sun Breaking Through the Fog”. This is one of ten paintings created or begun by Claude Monet in his stay at St. Thomas’ Hospital in London in 1900. These were created in a succession of series of paintings including Haystacks, Rouen Cathedral and Water Lilies. The series appears to have been completed by 1905, twenty-one years before the artist’s death at Giveryny, France on December 5, 1926 at the age of eighty-six years. The original of this particular painting is in the Musee d’Orsay in Paris.
