Edvard Munch - Train Smoke, 1900. Oil on canvas
Honoré Daumier, The Fugitives, c. 1849-50
Honoré Daumier, At the Theater (The Melodrama), c. 1860-64
Honoré Daumier, The Painter at His Easel, c. 1870-75
Honoré Daumier, The Drinkers, n.d.
From the Metropolitan Museum of Art:
This painting, which was first exhibited in Paris in 1861, bears some resemblance to an illustration by Gavarni that was published twenty years earlier. The escape that alcohol offered to the poor is typical of the social themes Daumier explored throughout his career. The first owner of this work was the landscape painter Charles Daubigny.
Ed Ruscha, Man Walking Away From It All, 1985
Edgar Degas - Dancers, Pink and Green, 1890. Oil on canvas
Claude Lorrain, Landscape with the Embarkment of Saint Paula Romana in Ostia, 1639-40
From the Museo del Prado:
Saint Paula lived in Rome in the fourth century A.D. After distributing her wealth among the poor, she moved to Bethlehem to live as a hermit under the guidance of Saint Jerome, whom she cared for and aided in his studies. Together, they founded numerous monasteries.
This work by Lorraine is a masterpiece in the history of landscape painting. It shows Saint Paula embarking for Palestine and saying farewell to her children. The extraordinarily classical composition combines architectural mass with vegetation, creating a great sense of depth thanks to the shining light coming from the horizon.
Isle of the Dead
1880
Arnold Bocklin
Gustav Klimt, The Virgin, 1913.
