Dr Robert Bohanさんのイラストまとめ

The painter had an understanding with children. Here we see one of his greatest watercolours. His niece & ward, Violet, is shown playing with her dolls on her bed.

From Antwerp he went on to paint in Brittany. That part of France was a magnet to Irish artists including Roderic O’Conor & Joseph Kavanagh. There he was exposed to Impressionist landscape painting.

He continued to paint portraits but these lacked the verb of outdoors sketches or the emotion of his nudes. His last major painting is also his most homoerotic, The Wrestlers (1899). An artist once praised for his academic work is now saved from oblivion by these early gay images

The liveliness shown in Baby at Play reappears in Eakin’s outdoor works. These three works of 1881 glow with colour, sparkle with detail & give a sense to the viewer of being present at the scene. They avoid being over-laboured like his portraits

Eakins life was clouded with scandal. He gifted her estranged husband’s portrait (1900) to his sister, after it was revealed the husband beat her! Also shown is a portrait of his wife (1888) & a nude photo of the man of whom he wrote that he was in love, Samuel Murray (1890)

Eakins began his art studies in the Pennsylvania Academy in 1861 before moving to Paris to study under Gérôme (1866-70). Here’s his Street Scene in Seville (1870) & student study of a female model from this period when he also travelled to Spain to study Velázquez

In 1925 Backer was made a Knight of St Olav. Her work is a testimony to the cloistered life of middle class women in Norway, in her time. No image symbolises that more than Churching (1892). This was a ceremony a woman was obliged to go through after she had a baby.

In her final years her output lessened & her brushwork became more relaxed & expressive. Still Life (1916), Interior (1920) & View from my Balcony (1915)

Like many of the Scandinavian painters she sought out typically Norwegian scenes - she chose the life of farmhouses & the experience of women. Farm Interior (1893), Landscape (1894), Study for Cardplayers (1893) & Music (1890)

Born in Vestfold to a well off family. She was taking art lessons by 12y & had a succession of painting masters, even studying in Munich. She studied in Paris under Bonnat & Gérôme (1878-80). Servants’ Hall (1877), Farewell (1878), Reading Woman (1878) & Red Riding Hood (1872)
