‘Fine art is knowledge made visible.’ - Gustave Courbet.
He painted our spectacular 'Sea-Arch at Étretat' in 1869, creating the rugged cliffs using a palette knife. 🌊 #WednesdayWisdom

‘The artist who aims at perfection in everything achieves it in nothing’ - Eugène Delacroix. #WednesdayWisdom
The energy and vitality of 'A Wild Horse' (1828) conveys its untamed nature. 🐎
Do you think perfection can be achieved in art?

American artist George Bellows was born #onthisday in 1882. 🎈
He was tutored by painter Robert Henri at the New York School of Art. Our lithograph, 'The Life Class', illustrates his immersion in a vibrant, chaotic and collaborative teaching space.

Bringing the seaside to your house! ☀️
Courbet spent a summer painting the spectacular cliffs at the popular Etretat resort in 1869, working quickly outdoors.
The only sign of humanity is a boat, waiting where the sand meets the sea. 🌊

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.🌊
