Flemish painter David Teniers the Younger was born #OTD 1610. I’ve always found his creatures and demons in his Temptation of St. Anthony series quite disturbing.

Claude-Joseph Vernet died #OTD 1789. Many of his paintings are reminiscent of works by Claude Lorrain from 100~ years earlier (one painting of Lorrain’s happened to be a favorite of my beloved John Keats) #Art #ArtHistory #Paintings #Keats #JohnKeats #Romanticism @ngadc

Claude Lorrain died #OTD 1682. The 1st painting, The Enchanted Castle (1664), was a favorite of John Keats & may have inspired these lines from Ode to a Nightingale:

Charm’d magic casements, opening on the foam
Of perilous seas, in faery lands forlorn.

Irish painter Francis Danby was born #OTD 1793. He is still considered one of the greatest British painters of the Romantic era. The first painting, “The Deluge” (1840), was quite successful and revitalized his later career #Art #ArtHistory #Romanticism #Romantics #Irish
