Peter Paul Rubens: Annunciation (Study)
“Combining the freshness of drawing with the material robustness of painting, the oil sketch offers a glimpse of Rubens’ artistic invention, while also serving a functional role for him. Undiluted by workshop intervention, the intimately-scaled work conveys the same sense of grandeur and baroque drama as the monumental altarpiece, which measures almost ten feet high.4 Rendered…

Titian: The Rest on the Flight into Egypt
“Her feet planted firmly on the ground, the Madonna wraps Jesus in a protective embrace at the centre of the canvas. The pair are shown in suspended animation, in an intimate moment of tenderness between mother and son. The latter, somewhat fidgety, leans into his mother, tugging at her hair. Joseph is set slightly apart,…

William Adolphe Bouguereau: The Pieta
“The immediate inspiration for Pietà came not from Bouguereau’s devout Christianity, but from the painful loss of his eldest son Georges who died on July 19, 1875 at the age of sixteen. After spending several months overwhelmed by grief, Bouguereau sought to lift his spirits by fully immersing himself in his art. For several weeks,…
Enya: How Can I Keep From Singing?
“Founded on an interest in folk art and in particular in the Bavarian folk tradition of Hinterglasmalerei or under-glass painting that Kandinsky and Gabrielle Münter had discovered in Murnau, Kandinsky, in addition to trying the technique himself, began to adopt many of the glass painter’s themes and subject matter in his own art. Adopting their…

Speaking of his own art…, Rubin declared: ‘I am not at all interested in copying nature. I wish only to express the idea of a Supreme Being. I am a seeker of a God who will end the suffering of humanity. I see Him in colour, line, movement’ (quoted in A. Werner, Rubin, Tel-Aviv, 1958,…
Marianne Stokes: Candlemas Day
“Like a number of other painters with whose work Marianne Stokes has affinities – notably Joseph Southall and the Birmingham school – the artist abandoned oils towards the turn of the century in favour of tempera painting, and, ‘Candlemas Day’ is a good example of her work in this medium. According to Alice Meynell, this…
