William-Adolphe Bouguereau: Lullaby (1873)
“”Berceuse (Le coucher) was painted in the artist’s Paris studio in 1873 and holds a prominent place in this category of works which was particularly dear to the artist. In the present painting, a young Roman mother holds a naked infant and is gently moving him into his cradle. The central group is framed by…
Paul Gauguin: The White Horse
“Gauguin painted this famous picture during his second stay in Tahiti. He liked to roam through the countryside and explore the mountains and forests of the interior. These out-of-the-way places swarmed with all sorts of wildlife and plants which enchanted him.But this scene is not taken from real life; it is an imaginary, synthetic vision…
Odilon Redon: Le pavot noir (c1905)
“…Le pavot noir emerged during a key period of transition in Odilon Redon’s career, as he focused increasingly on floral still-lifes in his work, using their luscious blooms to explore the power of color. Echoing the natural arrangement of wild blossoms in a meadow, the bouquets favored by the artist embodied the essential beauty of…

A Little Liszt, A Little Lebasque
As is noted by Lisa Banner, ‘’Intimism,’ a term which best describes Lebasque’s painting, refers to the close domestic subject matter in such a manner as to convey the personal nature of his response to the thing painted, and the universal familiarity of home and family. There is a sense of calm infused in Lebasque’s…
Bonnard: La Seine Pres de Vernon (1926)
“La Seine près de Vernon reflects the artist’s fascination with the lush nature of the region, which he transformed into a rich, yet carefully developed composition. The wild trees on the river bank act as a window that reveals the water and the expanses of sky and nature beyond it. The human presence is suggested…
Andrea Bocelli: The Lord’s Prayer
“Pissarro and his family sailed to England in December 1870 to escape the turmoil of the Franco-Prussian War. There they rented a small house in Upper Norwood. Referring to an oil painting with the same subject and date as the present gouache, Joachim Pissarro and Claire Durand-Ruel Snollaerts wrote, “Though Pissarro refers to it as…
Edouard Manet: A Bar at the Folies-Bergère
“Opened a decade or so earlier, the Folies-Bergère had rapidly become one of most popular music halls and places of entertainment in Paris. Manet frequented it with friends and made sketches on site. However, the final work was painted entirely in his studio, where a barmaid named Suzon came to pose. She is the painting’s still centre. Her…
Hao Rao: Chopin Recitals in Żelazowa Wola
“Sunday Chopin Recitals in Żelazowa Wola are a series of open-air concerts held at the Birthplace of Fryderyk Chopin from May to September. They continue the long-term tradition initiated by Professor Zbigniew Drzewiecki, an eminent Polish pianist and teacher, in 1954. The recitals are an extraordinary opportunity to listen to performances by outstanding Polish and…

Berthe Morisot: The Cradle
“Berthe Morisot showed The Cradle at the Impressionist exhibition of 1874—the first woman to exhibit with the group. The painting was scarcely noticed although important critics commented on its grace and elegance. After unsuccessful attempts to sell it, Berthe Morisot withdrew it from display and The Cradle stayed in the model’s family until it was…
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,…
Edgar Degas: Scène de ballet (c.1885)
“The costumes of the dancers on stage become vibrant bursts of color which fuse with the equally indistinct stage props; together the forms hover on the edge of legibility, almost disintegrating into an abstract pattern of light and colour. At centre, the dancers’ bodies are suggested with the utmost precision. They are little more than…

Schubert: String Trio in B-Major, D 471
“Gauguin’s lush Bouquets et céramique sur une commode evidences the sensual delights which were of central concern to the artist throughout his career. Gauguin took joy in depicting the natural world and its raw, unspoilt beauty. Like Barbizon and Impressionist painters before him, he was attracted to pastoral themes and everyday motifs as an emblem of a…
André Brasilier: Cavaliers devant les vagues
“André Brasilier is one of the few surviving École de Paris artists. He stands out in the Parisian modern art scene for his unique style that fuses Fauvist, Impressionist, Expressionist, and Symbolist elements. In a career spanning more than seven decades, horses have consistently been one of his key subjects. In Cavaliers devant les vagues…

Mary Oliver: Sleeping in the Forest
SLEEPING IN THE FOREST I thought the earth remembered me, she took me back so tenderly, arranging her dark skirts, her pockets full of lichens and seeds. I slept as never before, a stone on the river bed, nothing between me and the white fire of the stars but my thoughts, and they floated light…
Pierre Bonnard: Le petit déjeuner (1917)
“Bonnard developed an early obsession with color through his affiliation with the Nabis, a group of avant-garde artists working in fin-de-siècle Paris. These young painters, who included amongst their ranks Maurice Denis, Edouard Vuillard and Paul Sérusier, were specifically inspired by the examples of Post-Impressionists like Paul Gauguin and Vincent van Gogh. The Nabis went even further…

Bach, Beethoven, Schubert, and Schiff
“Consistent with the Impressionist aesthetic that Berthe Morisot fervently espoused, Woman at Her Toilette attempts to capture the essence of modern life in summary, understated terms…Rendered with soft, feathery brushstrokes in nuanced shades of lavender, pink, blue, white, and gray, the composition resembles a visual tone poem, orchestrated with such perfumed and rarified motifs as…
Vladimir Horowitz: Scenes from Childhood (Schumann)
“Renoir’s lavish scenes of frolicking bathers were some of the most celebrated compositions of his mature career, and Baigneuses is a beautiful and richly-painted example of this theme. The composition is one of Renoir’s more realistic portrayals of public bathing and features the subjects in the modest swimwear that was common during this era. The two figures in the foreground are…

Vernet: Mountain Landscape With Approaching Storm
“This is one of a pair of monumental landscapes commissioned by the Marquess of Lansdowne for his famous collection at Berkeley Square in London. Originally, this depiction of the destructive power of a violent storm was meant to find its complement in a beautiful sunset harbor scene. The two paintings were separated in the early…
