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.

Morning in the Tropics, 1877, by Frederic Edgar Church
American / Landscape / Paintings (Reproductions) - 1 year ago - troycapc
A reproduction of the masterpiece by Frederic Edgar Church, “Morning in the Tropics” of 1877. This work of Church was the result of his expeditions to South America in 1853 and 1857. He was inspired by Baron Alexander von Humbolt who had explored the region at the end of the previous century. In this painting Church makes use of Luminism which, in American 19th century painting, refers to the use of the depiction of bright light and the minimalization of the effects of brushstrokes. This work is currently at the National Gallery of Art in Washington. Frederic Church was the leading artist of the second generation of the Hudson River School. By the time of this work, he was the most famous contemporary American artist at the age of thirty-four years. He had been a student of Benjamin Cole. As tastes changed after 1865, Church’s popularity with the public began to fade but he continued to paint and was very comfortable due to the significant private wealth of his family. He died in New York City in 1900.

Stormy Sunrise of 2010
American / Caperton / Landscape / Paintings (Reproductions) - 1 year ago - troycapc
This is a reproduction of “Stormy Sunrise” of 2010. This is an effort to catch the feelings engendered by the dawning of a day that appears to be full of dreaded storms of life. The prior day seems to have troubles mounting with ever greater intensity and they loom over the morning, even from the moment the sun peaks over the horizon. This image of the ocean shore at day-break with torrents of rain in the background coming out of billowing clouds in the midst of which, however, one spies sun breaking through.
