For the Friday Afternoon Challenge: Where Painters Painted, Part II!
Painters have immortalized in their canvasses the places that they sought for inspiration and refreshed vision. They have captured them in the images below for you to identify, both work and artist. As always, we love Google...just not Goggles...

17. #3
Hi CTyankee! Good to see you in the midst of this debt ceiling insanity! :hi:


#3 Is John Singer Sargent's watercolor, "Venetian Interior."

Sargent's watercolors are so beautiful.

18. #2

#2 looks like Winslow Homer's palette - but I can't find which painting. It also could be JMW Turner. Again, can't place the painting. That's all I've got on #2.

19. #6 Peter Paul Rubens
"View From Steen Castle" (Antwerp, Holland)1725

The only hunch I had was that the buildings looked Dutch...(and guessed roughly the period)

24. It is "het steen in autumn" by rubens. I am guessing that you also looked at the brush work.
Otherwise, it is pretty difficult to establish that it is Rubens, because most of the public associates it with fleshy women...

23. Sorry.
I am not going to post the answers to this Challenge separately because I have been absent for most of the afternoon.

But, the answer to the question about #4 is Pissarro.

He painted in Eragny and had a house there, where he painted many of his works...

28. You would have gotten it if I had posted the one of Eragny I originally chose.
It's a nice one of his garden there. Google would have taken you there if you had googled some variant of "gardens by impressionists."

Those gardens are a genre all by themselves...:hi:

25. Yes, of course, he did these at Etretat, on the Normandy coast.
Edited on Sat Jul-30-11 07:11 PM by CTyankee
He seemed to be fascinated by the wave patterns.

I love what he has done. A Realist, he really influenced the coming influence of the Romanticists and later...Interesting.

31. Oh, thank you! What a nice thing to say!
I love doing these challenges...it is fun and a challenge for ME to come up with something of interest each week. I LOVE hearing about people's experiences with art and how they came to know/love /adore an art work...art makes all of life possible...without it where would we be?
