"I don't know where he (Marc Chagall) gets those images; he must have an angel in his head".
"Non so dove (Marc Chagall) ottenga quelle immagini; deve avere un angelo in testa".
Camille Corot: "Never lose the first impression which has moved you..."
In the 1860s, Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot (1796-1875) became interested in photography, taking photos himself and becoming acquainted with many early photographers, which had the effect of suppressing his painting palette even more in sympathy with the monochromatic tones of photographs.
This had the result of making his paintings even less dramatic but somewhat more poetic, a result which caused some critics to cite a monotony in his later work.
Camille Corot | Paysages
Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot (1796-1875) is a pivotal figure in landscape painting. In his long and productive life, he painted over 3,000 paintings. His work simultaneously references the Neo-Classical tradition and anticipates the plein-air innovations of Impressionism.
Of him Claude Monet exclaimed in 1897, "There is only one master here - Corot. We are nothing compared to him, nothing".
Raffaello | La Madonna Sistina, 1513-1514
"La Madonna Sistina" è un dipinto a olio su tela (265x196 cm) di Raffaello, databile al 1513-1514 circa e conservato nella Gemäldegalerie di Dresda.
Insolito per Raffaello in quegli anni è il supporto su tela, che ha dato adito a varie ipotesi: secondo Rumohr l'opera era destinata anche ad essere usata come stendardo processionale. La datazione si basa su dati stilistici ed è in genere legata ai primi anni del pontificato di Leone X, prima dell'Estasi di Santa Cecilia.
Vasari testimonia come l'opera fosse stata dipinta per il convento di San Sisto a Piacenza, come conferma la presenza di due santi ivi particolarmente venerati.
Chen Yifei (1946-2005) | Music Player painting
Chen's works considered a unique combination of both Western and Eastern influences. Chen's style combines the realism associated with European art styles, with Eastern subject matter and themes close to the artist's history.
One such example of this unique blend is his painting Poppy which derives its content from a Tang dynasty song about a woman who solemnly questions her fate.
Camille Corot (1796-1875) | Portraits | Page 1
Camille Corot🎨, in full Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, French painter🎨, noted primarily for his landscapes, who inspired and to some extent anticipated the landscape painting of the Impressionists.
His oil sketches, remarkable for their technical freedom and clear colour, have come to be as highly regarded as the finished pictures that were based upon them.
