Dr Robert Bohanさんのイラストまとめ

Modern French art includes Pissarro’s (1873) Chinese Vase which is a v satisfying work. Morisot’s (1878) Le Corsage Noir & Gonzales (c1877) Children Playing are two fine works by the leading female impressionists

French art includes the musical & romantic Poussin (1627) Acis & Galatea. There are also a group of fine Watteau sketches & a risqué nude by Boucher (c1752) David’s Patroclus (1778) is an early neoclassical landmark

German art at the gallery includes one of Münter’s greatest portraits (1908) Girl with Red Ribbon as well as the magnificent expressionist Frauen im Garten (1915) by Nolde. I love, too, the Georg Pencz (1549) portrait of a Gentleman aged 28

One of the gallery’s more famous works is Caravaggio’s (1602) Taking of Christ. The collection of Seicento works is unusually comprehensive. It includes Guercino’s masterpiece (c1620) & the magnificent Procaccini (c1620) of St Charles Borromeo

The Gallery was founded late (1854), so focused on Italian Renaissance drawings such as the sensual Mantegna (c1490s). The Uccello (c1435) shows his love of perspective & the Fra Angelico (c1439) is a major colourful work commissioned by the Medici

Larsson considered his frescoes & murals his most important work & was disappointed that they did not receive the attention he felt they deserved. Entry of King Gustav (1908), The Household (1908), The Study Room (1908) & the Bedroom (1909)

Thanks to Larsson we have a tremendous record of the life of a creative family. His wife was an accomplished interior designer. Lisbeth Reading (1904), My Eldest Daughter (1904), Evening Meal (1905) & Karin by the Linen Cupboard (1906)

Photography freed art from pursuing realism as its goal. This would lead to the rise of modern & contemporary art where authenticity & expression are critical. Bisharin Warrior (1872), Pollice Verso (1872), Turkish Bath (1872) & the Grey Cardinal (1873)

In Paris he studied at the École des Beaux Arts. The influence of his teachers & his travel were to be seen in his Academic approach. His work won a number of prizes & was popular. The Cock Fight (1846), Mythology (1848) & Greek Interior (1848).

He died in 1519, aged 67. In his will he left much of his estate to Melzi & to Salai. These two men had supported & loved him in life. Leda (nd), Nude (nd) & Salai as John the Baptist. The latter is a surprisingly erotic image for an old master (I’ve censored the ‘proud’ organ)
