Bernardo Keilhau detto Monsù Bernardo

Eberhard Keil (Helsingør, 1624 - Roma, 3 febbraio 1687) o semplicemente Keil fu un pittore Danese, forse il più celebre pittore antico di questa nazione, venne conosciuto in Italia con lo pseudonimo di Monsù Bernardo, giunse nei Paesi Bassi diciottenne e fu nella bottega di Rembrandt ad Amsterdam, dove soggiornò tra il 1642-1644 anche se il suo primo maestro fu il danese Morten van Steenwinkel nella cui bottega venne messo dal padre all'età di dodici anni.

Camille Pissarro | Le Marché de Gisors, Grande-Rue, 1885

On Monday mornings, Camille Pissarro often joined his wife Julie and a couple of their children, with some household helpers, for the two-and-a-half-mile excursion from their home in Éragny to attend market day in Gisors, a town of about four thousand inhabitants further down the Epte River.
While Julie stocked up on produce and provisions for the coming week, Pissarro sketched the many people from Gisors and nearby villages who gathered among the stalls set up on the Grand-Rue (today the rue de Vienne) near the town hall, as they engaged in selling, buying, or bartering, exchanging news, and socializing during this all-important, weekly communal event.

Camille Pissarro | Jeanne Pissarro (Minette) holding a Fan, 1873

Jeanne-Rachel, known as Minette, was born in 1865 and died at Pontoise on 6 April 1874.
She was a sickly child and treated by Dr Paul Gachet.
In this portrait, painted when she was eight, the subdued colouring and tentative handling give an added intimacy to the scene.
She holds a Japanese fan, reflecting her father's increasing interest in Japanese art.

Camille Pissarro | Femme lavant une casserole, 1879

Included in the seminal Fifth Impressionist Exhibition that took place in 1880, Camille Pissarro’s Femme lavant une casserole encapsulates the quintessential Impressionist style and subject matter of the artist’s figure paintings.
As well as rustic, quotidian scenes of the rural French landscape, Pissarro frequently painted women absorbed in daily activities.
Indeed, from 1879, the year that he painted the present work, Pissarro began to create a number of monumental figure studies that reflected his growing interest in the primacy of the human form within the landscape setting, a theme that would continue throughout his career.
Here, a woman is framed by blossoming shrubs and flowers, bending over slightly as she washes objects in a bowl.

Carl Vilhelm Holsøe (1863-1935) | 121 artworks | Part.²


Carl Vilhelm Holsøe (Aarhus, 12 March 1863 - Asserbo, 7 November 1935)⏯ was a Danish artist who primarily painted interiors.
olsøe's paintings include landscapes, still lifes and flowers, but like Hammershøi he primarily painted domestic interior scenes; they undoubtedly influenced each other, but it is impossible to know who first gravitated towards this subject. It was in general increasingly popular among Danish painters as the country became more industrial, with implications of refuge and restoration from professional life and the city.
