Academician / Paintings (Reproductions) / Spanish - 12 months ago - troycapc
This is a reproduction of “Dogs and Supplies of the Hunt”, or “Dogs on a Leash” of 1775 by Francisco Goya. The painting was a study for a tapestry commissioned by Charles de Bourgon, the Prince of Asturias and heir to the Spanish kingdom. It was designed for a cornice in the Escorial. Goya was twenty-nine when he completed this work having begun his apprenticeship as a painter when he was fourteen. He moved to Madrid to study under Mengs but clashed with his teacher. His submissions to the Royal Academy of Fine Art in 1763 and 1766 were denied. He moved to Rome where he gained some success and returned to Zaragoza where he was commissioned to complete several church frescoes. This work is 174 cm wide and 112 cm high and is in the Museo del Prado in Madrid.

Adoption of the 1791 Polish Constitution
Paintings (Reproductions) / Romanticism / Russian - 1 year ago - troycapc
This is a reproduction of ” Adoption of the 1791 Polish Constitution ” of 1891 by Jan Matejko. The adoption of a constitution for the kingdom of Poland in 1791 was a momentous event in Polish history for it marked the heroic attempt of the Polish people to throw off the tyranny of German and Russian influence in the affairs of their kingdom. Their efforts were ill-fated at the end of the 18th century, but bloomed to success in the early twentieth century, though the travails of Poland was still not over when independence was regained in 1918. The original painting is in the National Museum of Poland in Warsaw.
