Sonia Delaunay (1885-1979)
Prismes électriques 1913
With its almost completely abandoned spatial depth and its flat strictness, the work is one of Caspar David Friedrich’s most radical compositions. At the same time, it belongs to the most festive paintings of this painter.📖 https://t.co/EHc9qrOoRn 🏛 Kunst Museum Winterthur 1818

Wondrous birds by Hans Thoma 1892
The bird has been identified as a red cardinal, a species of American origin that attests to the exotic and, above all, unusual taste of the author of the cartoon.

💚 It was a local lake (Dælivannet) at Fleskum in Bærum that inspired Kitty Kielland to create this painting(1886). (...) The 🖼 depicts the enchanted twilight that is so characteristic of Nordic woodlands on summer nights.🏛 @nasjonalmuseet 📖 https://t.co/EYTXiZWGFq #womensart

Lady Skipwith had a reputation as a skilled horsewoman, and a nephew recorded that “there was something rather formidable in her powdered hair and [the] riding habit or joseph which she generally wore.”
