“One striking characteristic of Monet’s paintings of the irises in the water garden is his experimentation with unusual and unexpected vantage points. In three canvases from the 1914-1917 sequence, for example, Monet set up his easel on the Japanese bridge in the garden and painted the view looking down on the clumps of irises and…

Adrien Jean Le Mayeur de Merprès: Temple Festival in Bali
“Temple Festival in Bali deservedly ranks among Le Mayeur’s finest works; offering a rare and comprehensive portrayal of the festive marketplace in front of the village temple on special feast days. The visual structure emphasizes the crowded foreground, using a perspective of concentric circles across the horizontal plane which culminates in the central performance, illuminated…

Dame Laura Knight: A Girl Reading
“A young woman, in profile is reading a letter in a sunlit landscape; she wears a white blouse and her auburn hair is pinned under a broad-brimmed straw hat, its red ribbon falling over her left shoulder. On closer inspection, spots of sunlight piercing through the weave of the hat fall on to her face…
Eva Gonzalès: Au bord de la mer
“Eva Gonzalès, a former student of the so-called father of Modernism, Edouard Manet, specialized in the depiction of Parisiennes, fashionable young women engaged in the quiet rituals of domestic life. With Au bord de la mer (Honfleur), Gonzalès also demonstrated her exceptional fluency with the medium of pastel. This fully-conceived composition, executed on canvas, depicts a young woman…
Dame Laura Knight: The Penton Children
“Knight’s superb handling of watercolour is evident in this dazzling en plein air portrait of Stephen, Michael and Anthony Penton, painted in their grandfather’s New Forest garden. In contrast to the broad brushstrokes of her oil paintings, Laura’s delicate and detailed watercolours of this period demonstrate her highly refined technique.” READ FULL ESSAY: Richard Green…

Claude Monet: Sandvika, Norway
“Claude Monet’s trip to Norway in 1895 was perhaps the most physically taxing of all his many painting campaigns. Touring the country with his stepson Jacques Hoschedé, who lived in Christiania (now Oslo), he was awestruck but initially frustrated in his search for good motifs amid the snow. Nevertheless, he painted 29 Norwegian scenes during…
Philip de László: Princess Ruspoli, Duchess de Gramont
For this portrait, de László has employed unusual shades of green and purple not often seen in his palette. This, and the swathe of material draped about her head, may be said to reflect the original tastes of his sitter, well known as a fashion icon, whose olive skinned beauty well suited these colours. Christie’s…
Dame Laura Knight: Gypsies at Home
“Knight first became fascinated by gypsies at Ascot race meetings where, for many years, she drew and painted them from the comfort of a shining Rolls Royce; ‘This Royal meeting was a special occasion for the gipsies [sic.]; they came in their bright satin gala dresses, hair elaborately arranged with curls soaped to their cheeks,…

Frederick Carl Frieseke: La Poudreuse
“The woman, likely the artist’s wife Sarah O’Bryan, sits before her poudreuse, compartments open, selecting a necklace to wear…The mood is contemplative yet cheery. The open top of the center compartment draped with a blue and yellow shawl begins a diagonal line that recedes into the painting through the sitter on to the back of…
Ambrose McEvoy: Vicomtesse Phyllis de Janzé
“McEvoy excelled when painting the great, the good and the glamourous and had a penchant for rebellious young women whose defiance he could ineffably translate onto canvas. Phyllis was one such woman. Her name features prominently in diaries from the period which comment on her fondness for fashion and her daring disregard for the entrenched…

Claude Monet: The Museum at Le Havre
“During the 1870s when he was living at Argenteuil, on the outskirts of Paris, Monet made several trips back to Le Havre, where he had grown up… Despite the fact that it is relatively large, the picture has the sketchy quality of Monet’s smaller canvases. Broken brushwork conveys the gentle movement of rippling water and…

Camille Pissarro: Chemin de l’Écluse, Saint-Ouen-l’Aumône
“Located some twenty-five miles northwest of Paris, Pontoise was built on a hilltop, with the river Oise passing through it, elements which made it a highly picturesque environment in which to paint en plein-air. The town’s economy included agriculture as well as industry, and offered Pissarro a wide range of subjects, from crowded semi-urban genre…

Yenne Lee: Autumn Leaves
Jeune femme assise jouant de la guitare belongs to a group of works that Renoir painted of women and men playing the guitar. Renoir’s appreciation for “La Belle Otéro,” a dancer at the Folies-Bergère who was celebrated at the time as the embodiment of Spanish seduction, is thought to have inspired these works. Although the…
Pierre-Auguste Renoir: L’église à Essoyes
“Although Renoir would keep his rented Parisian apartment throughout his life, from the late 1880s onward, much of his time would be spent in the countryside enjoying the tranquil pleasures the retreat had to offer. Renoir’s middle son, Jean, wrote of their home in the region with great nostalgia, “Essoyes, where my mother and Gabrielle…
