John Singer Sargent: The Daughters of Edward Darley Boit
“The historical precedent for the Boit portrait can be found in the work of the seventeenth-century Spanish master Diego Velázquez, an artist greatly admired in nineteenth-century France. Sargent had traveled to Madrid in 1879 to make copies after Velázquez at the MuseoNacional del Prado; among the paintings he studied was Las Meninas (about 1656), a…

Jacques Emile Blanche: Tamara Karsavina, of the Ballets Russes (1928)
“In her autobiography, Theatre Street, Tamara Karsavina recalls sitting for Jacques-Emile Blanche in 1911: “That summer I sat to Jacques Blanche for my portrait. A quieter refuge from the feverish pulsation of Parisian life could not have been found than his large studio at Passy. The same restfulness emanated from the artist himself. There was…
Sir Henry Raeburn: Portrait of Sarah Wordsworth (c. 1820)
“Romanticism and realism collide in this exemplary work by Sir Henry Raeburn. Painted towards the end of his career this portrait perfectly speaks the words of Scottish writer John Brown, who famously said of Raeburn: ‘He paints the truth, and he paints it with love.’[1] READ FULL ESSAY: Philip Mould & Co Thanks for Visiting…

Jacques-Louis David: Portrait of Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier and His Wife (1788)
“A landmark of European portraiture that asserts a modern, scientifically minded couple in fashionable but simple dress, this painting was excluded from the Salon of 1789 for fears it would further ignite revolutionary zeal. Technical analysis has revealed that a first iteration excluded the scientific instruments and would have been a far more conventional portrait…

Why Is Paul Gauguin So Controversial?
“Was Van Gogh really painting a vase of sunflowers when his friend Gauguin produced this portrait of him? No, he can’t have been: it was December and far too late in the year for sunflowers. But it’s quite probable that Van Gogh painted a copy of one of his own sunflower pictures around this time….

Renoir: Mademoiselle Grimprel au ruban rouge (1880)
“Painted in 1880, Mademoiselle Grimprel au ruban rouge (Hélène Grimprel) dates from the brief highpoint of Renoir’s portrait painting. It was between the years of 1878 and 1881 that Renoir painted many of the greatest of his portraits, and indeed gained, albeit for a short time, some financial security because of it… While Mademoiselle Grimprel…

William Adolphe Bouguereau: Le lever (1865)
“Beginning in 1865, Bouguereau became interested in themes of mothers and children and he began a series of paintings devoted to this subject matter.

“For its beauty, vivacity, freshness and lightness of palette,” Liotard wrote, “pastel painting is more beautiful than any other kind of painting.” Liotard is known for pressing pastel quite forcefully onto the paper to create extra brilliance in order to exaggerate these qualities. This peculiar technique and desire for luminosity is what set him apart…

Gerald Leslie Brockhurst: The War Widow (1923)
This painting was originally titled Andromache by the artist when it was painted in circa 1923 [fig. 1]. This initial title references the Greek princess recorded in Homer’s Iliad, who lost every male member of her family during the Trojan War. This portrait, painted in the aftermath of the Second World War, consequently assumes a…
Pierre Mignard, picture of childhood
by L’Art en Tête “…What stands out in this portrait of a child is the slightly sad face, which looks at the viewer with a slightly melancholic air. In fact, the portrait was painted in 1681 or 1682, just after the death of Mademoiselle de Tours. It is therefore a posthumous portrait. The various details…
