Some Obscure Finds

I did some digging for interesting turn of the century (and a little after) artists and came up with a few nice tidbits to share. The Blashfield Angel with The Flaming Sword is a little reminiscient of VonStuck's painting with the same theme. I have been looking for more Elihu Vedder works for a while and one of them was among my finds...


Head of a Young Woman, Elihu Vedder, 1900



The Angel with The Flaming Sword, Edwin Howland Blashfield, 1893


King Lear: Cordelia's Farewell, Austin Edwin Abbey


Paris Nude, Rolf Armstrong, 1919-1921

Paxton's Nausicaa

On the GoodArt list someone commented that some of the figures looked a little like Tamada de Lempicka. I also see some similarities to some William Paxton paintings as well, for example:

William Paxton, Nausicaa, 1937

Chasseriau Followups

Here's a wonderful example of Chasseriau's work...


Andromeda Chained to the Rock by the Nereids, Theodore Chasseriau, 1840

Chasseriau's Andromeda painting was subject to a lot of damage and required a lot of digital restoration (by me) to achieve the kind of image quality below. Want to see how bad it started out? Click Here.

More Theodore Chasseriau Goodies

I got some very positive comments about my last batch, so here are a few more Chasseriau paintings:

Portrait of Ernest Chasseriau, 1835


Apollo and Daphne, 1845


Portrait of Dominique Lacordaire, 1840
