Carpeaux Goodies

Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux (1827-1875) has long been one of my favorite sculptors, and therefore I think it's fitting that I feature him in the first sculpture posting here. One of my favorite Carpeaux sculptures is The Triumph of Flora, but I never knew where it was located...

Imperial France Enlightening the World and The Triumph of Flora, Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux, 1863-1866

The Triumph of Flora, Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux, 1865

Here are some other great Carpeaux sculptures...

One More Thomas Dewing

The Garland, Thomas Dewing, 1899

German Romantics

I have long found Caspar David Friedrich's (1774-1840) paintings to have a certain haunting quality that is hard to put my finger on, and when I was doing some additional research on his work I found a few of his fellow Germans of the same era with a similar kind of quality. Here are a few of them...

Cemetary on Mount Oybin, Carl Gustav Carus (1789-1869), 1828

Megalithic Grave in Winter, Johan Christian Clausen Dahl (1788-1857), 1825

A Moonlit Night, Carl Wagner (1796-1867), 1820

More Sophie Anderson

Here's another nice Sophie Anderson Painting

Portrait of a Young Girl, Sophie Anderson

Science Over Hockney

Our friend Dr. David Stork has delivered a knockout punch to David Hockney's theories in this month's Scientific American. If you had any doubts at all about the validity of the truth in this case you should make sure to read it!

Dewing Reposts

Another artist I posted a series of examples of in a previous incarnation of this blog of Thomas Wilmer Dewing (1851-1938) paintings. Since these are relatively hard to come by, I thought I would repost them here again so that they will stay alive on the Net.

Gotch Revived

In an earlier version of my blog, I posted a collection of Thomas Cooper Gotch (1854-1931) paintings that along the way got lost in the shuffle. In order to prevent them from being lost to the Net, I thought I would post them again.
