Gustave Courbet once said: ‘Fine art is knowledge made visible.’
Courbet uses a palette knife and a loaded brush for the rugged cliffs and contrasts this with the smoother texture of the grass and the sky.🌊
See this artwork in the Blue Gallery.

Happy birthday to #PierrePuvisdeChavannes! Born in 1824, he was well known in France for his mural painting, and did love a cheeky bit of symbolism. His penchant for drama is evident in this portrait, 'The Beheading of Saint John the Baptist.' It's always startled our visitors!
'Each of us has a different relationship with our own mother, and so every artistic representation of a mum is unique.'
