George Sheridan Knowles (1863-1931)

Il pittore Britanico⏩ George Sheridan Knowles ha prodotto tele dai temi nostalgici, spesso in costume, con l'intento di evocare tempi e sentimenti trascorsi, tra cui i primissimi, timidi approcci dettati dalla passione, ma soprattutto l'ingenuità legata all'infanzia, e proprio per questo sua ricorrente romantica nostalgia fu molto apprezzato già in epoca vittoriana.

Egli studiò arte presso la Manchester School of Art ed alla Royal Academy Schools, per giungere a dipingere sia tele accademiche che nostalgiche, ravvivate da colori luminosi e da un leggero tocco di pennello che proprio in quegli anni stava sperimentando l'impressionismo che, sfumando la scena, giunge ad acuirne il carattere evocativo.

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.

John Singer Sargent | American Impressionism

John Singer Sargent (1856-1925) was an American artist, considered the "leading portrait painter of his generation" for his evocations of Edwardian Era luxury.

The Edwardian Period corresponds to the French Belle Époque period. Despite its brief pre-eminence, the period is characterized by its own unique architectural style, fashion, and lifestyle.

Art Nouveau had a particularly strong influence.

Artists were influenced by the development of the automobile and electricity, and a greater awareness of human rights.

Thomas Waterman Wood | Threading a Needle, 1870

Thomas Waterman Wood (1823-1903) was an American painter born in Montpelier, Vermont.

In Threading a Needle, an elderly lady sits with a pair of socks on her lap; large holes and frayed ends indicate that they badly need mending.

Probably compensating for an unsteady hand, she furrows her brow and bites her lip in concentration as she peers through her eyeglasses to thread a needle.

A pair of scissors and a ball of thread hang from her waist by a ribbon.

Renoir | La Grenouillère, 1869

La Grenouillère, the frog pond was a popular venue for outings from Paris and for bathing in the summer, situated outside Bougival to the west of the capital. The sun is filtered through the green leaves and it sparkles on the surface of the river Seine.

People are bathing. Some are in boats, rowing or sailing on the river. A group of men in suits and women wearing crinolines have sought shade beneath a tree on the little artificial island known as Camembert or the flowerpot.

Daniel Sprick, 1953 | Figurative painter

Daniel Sprick is an Colorado-based artist, known for his contemporary realism in figurative, still-life and landscape paintings.

For Sprick, Northern and Italian Renaissance are the periods some of his favorite artworks were done. Starting with the 1400s, and going forward to the work of Hans Holbein and Vermeer.

When talking about the depth and sincerity, both Baroque and Renaissance painting have become a standard for the artist. The idea of working with no limit on the labor required to finish the piece is appealing to him.

It was during her time at art school that she developed an interest in painting figures. After graduating, she spent the first summer in Cornwall, painting villages, harbours and beaches and most of all the people.
