Gerrit Dou (1613-1675)

As the son of a glass engraver, Gerrit Dou began by learning to engrave and paint glass.

In 1628, he was apprenticed to Rembrandt.

Here Dou learned the art of chiaroscuro, the contrast of light and shade which became his speciality: his candlelit scenes became all the rage.

Dou’s genre paintings also sold for high prices.

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.

Ludwig Dettmann | Couple in Landscape

Ludwig Julius Christian Dettmann (1865-1944) was a German Impressionist painter.

He was one of the founders of the Berlin Secession in 1898, and, together with Max Liebermann, Walter Leistikow, Otto Heinrich Engel, Oskar Frenzel, Curt Herrmann and Fritz Klimsch, was a member of the advisory board.

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.

His works are held in the collections of the Uffizi in Florence and the Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna in Rome.

Il mondo Surreale dell'artista Catherine Alexandre

Catherine Alexandre trae ispirazione dalla natura, ma anche dalla città e dall'architettura per dare vita alle sue creazioni.

La Alexandre è un'artista con sede in Francia le cui opere viaggiano oscillano tra il realismo ed il sogno, con un pizzico di simbolismo, un tocco di umorismo ed un tocco di ottimismo.

In ognuno dei suoi pezzi, mette una piccola chiave nascosta.

Alexandre è influenzata dalle opere di Leonardo da Vinci, Preraffaelliti, Klimt e Magritte, tra gli altri.
