Other Excellent Artists...
There are a few additional artists whose work is interesting and should probably get some attention, but about whom I have fairly little information or just not enough prints to make viable individual pages, so I am just inserting a few of them here. If any of you have additional pointers to websites or other information about them, please do let me know.

The Bridesmaid (1851) (100K) Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge The subject of this painting is worth an explanation. It depicts an old superstition that if a bridesmaid passes a piece of wedding cake through the wedding ring nine times, she will see a vision of her future lover. Her chastity is symbolized by the orange blossom at her breast and accentuated by her veil of orange hair.

Rembrandt Peale (1778-1860) (American)
Rembrandt Peale was both remarkable for his talents and fame in his lifetime as well as the obscurity into which he fell after death. He was one of 12 children (most of whom were named after famous artists) and took up painting at a very young age. In his lifetime he produced over 1200 known works (most of them portraits) including those of several early US Presidents and other prominent figures of his time. Unfortunately, I have had a hard time finding good prints (in color) of his paintings so far (I have several black-and-white ones, but I want color ones to be published here). If anyone can point me in the direction of some scannable materials for any of the Peales, please do pass it along.

Raphael Sanzio (1483-1520)
The School Of Athens (1510-1511) (72K) This is a very interesting painting on a number of different levels. It depicts a host of Greek philosophers in symbolic poses and in symbolic places in the scene, each somehow indicative of their philosophical positions. At the center of the painting are Plato and Aristotle, who define the central divisions in philosophical point of view. Plato points up to the heavens as an indication of what he thinks is real and important (and his hand is just outside the frame of the outside world seen through the arch). Aristotle holds out his hand gesturing at the world around him. Note that Aristotle's hand is at the geometric center of the arch in which the two stand and at the center of the whole painting as well.(Later on, I will post an exhaustive list of all of the characters in the painting, perhaps with a fancy clickable bitmap.) The faces of each of the philosophers is also taken from life, though since Raphael never knew any of the ancient greeks, he used various prominent artists of his time including himself (next to the pillar at the far right of the painting), Michaelangelo, and Leonardo (again, an exhaustive list will appear here later on.)

Gerrit Dou (1613-1675) (Dutch)Gerrit Dou was Rembrandt's first student was was later the founder of the school of "fijnschilders" or "fine painters" in Leiden.
Astronomer By Candle Light (36K)
This is a tiny painting (not much larger than this image on a big monitor) in oil on a small wood panel. It has a custom arch-shaped frame which explains the shape. Unfortunately it was almost impossible to capture the subtlety of the very dark background in the original painting in the scan. The best way to experience this remarkable little painting is to look at it in person. The original can be seen at the J. Paul Getty Museum in Malibu, California.
