" Sebastiano Ricci enjoyed an international reputation. He worked all over Italy, Austria and France and, from 1712-1716, in England, mainly painting walls and ceilings with decorative schemes. His patrons included Queen Anne and Lord Burlington. Ricci, described by an English contemporary as ""a lusty man, inclinable to fat"", is said to have left England in disgust when the commission to decorate St. Paul's was given to James Thornhill, a native Protestant.

As the rebels are driven from the heavens by St. Michael, they acquire demonic features - angelic wings become more like bats' wings."

A careful examination will reveal, in the upper left corner, Albrecht Dürer's monogram and the year 1492; this led to the painting being bought and catalogued for the first time (Ältester Katalog) as the work of the famous German Renaissance painter. However, the monogram and the year of execution were added much later, in the 18th century, probably owing to the high market value that Dürer's work enjoyed in the epoch. Nevertheless, the style of the painting and the particular type of chaperon on the man's head, lead to the conclusion that the painting was made in the early 1430s.The painting represents the portrait of an man recently identified with Jean IV de Brabant, being part of the series of works by the same artist, such as A Man in a Turban (1433) in the National Gallery, London, considered to be a self-portrait, or Portrait of Jan de Leeuw (1436), currently in the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna, that is a portrait of the jeweller. ©Dana Roxana Hrib, European Art Gallery Guidebook, Second edition, Sibiu 2011.

Moreau is a 19th century French artist considered the pioneer of Symbolism. Although literary sources of the theme of "a sacred elephant" are unclear, it would appear to be based on the Hindu belief. This work is a fine example conveying Moreau's delicate and gallant mastership of watercolour. Particularly the way one colour is applied over another on the ornament on the elephant's head is a technique frequently employed in Moreau's watercolours of the 1880s. The transparent expression of the plants on both sides is similar to the effect identifiable in the upper panel of "La vie de l'humanité" (1886). The effect of the estrangement of the line drawing and the colouring was also applied to the highly experimental techniques employed in "Les Licornes"(1886). (Source: The Digital Gallery. 1999-2006)

It has been decided that a collaborative project between "Hello Kitty" and France's popular fictional characters "Lisa and Gaspard" will be carried out.

"Lisa and Gaspard" are fictional characters created by the couple Anne Gutman

(text) and Georg Hallensleben (illustration). Their first book was published in France in 1999 and 40 titles have been published here in Japan since the year 2000. The total number of books published is two million. The characters that appear in the books are "Lisa," a girl with white body and red scarf and "Gaspard," a boy with black body and blue scarf. Officially, Gaspard and Lisa are "neither dogs nor rabbits" but their exact species is not clear. What is clear is that they are both residents of Paris. They go to school and have many friends but they are "eternal friend" to each other.

For this collaborative project, the creators of these two characters, Anne Gutman, and Georg Hallensleben and the designer of Sanrio's Hello Kitty, Yuko Yamaguchi got together in South Paris and drew seven oil paintings.

This is a first for "Lisa and Gaspard" to collaborate with some other character. From 2018, Sanrio will sell products based on these oil paintings and there is a plan to hold many special events in different categories.

▶︎The creators of "Lisa and Gaspard," Anne Gutman and Georg Hallensleben have this comment about this project:

"It is still unbelievable that Yamaguchi-san came all the way to our attelier to draw paintings with us! We had a great time in the atteliers both in Paris and in South France. We wish to collaborate with her again."

▶︎The designer of Hello Kitty, Yuko Yamaguchi (Sanrio) has this comment：

"I first saw "Lisa and Gaspard" when they were selected as the CM characters of Pasco in 2006.

I was surprised that these characters were drawn in oils and this experience fueled and sparked my imagination. I am pleased that this collaborative project finally came to realization 11 years after I saw these characters for the first time."

Jamini Roy is one of the fathers of modern Indian art, a leading painter in India's nationalist art school in Calcutta. His work combines South Asian folk art traditions and international modernist aesthetics. This painting is one of Roy's iconic images of an Indian woman. With arms raised and feet crossed, her pose evokes a sense of dance, recalling other representations of the female form in South Asia's artistic past, from nature divinities and goddess sculpture to images of Krishna's Gopis and even 'Mother India'.

The odd charm of The Garden of Death can most likely be attributed to the fact that Death is depicted as a gentle character, as is most often the case in Hugo Simberg's work. Why is Death, the very essence of destruction, tending to the potted plants and flowers that are metaphors for life and regeneration? Simberg believed the garden of death to be a place where souls go before entering heaven. He depicts human souls as plants, almost as if man is as undeveloped compared to his paradisical self as a child is compared to an adult. The painting does not reveal whether all the souls in the garden end up going to heaven, or why it is necessary to wait in the garden in the first place, but the atmosphere is nevertheless one of peace rather than anxiety.

If we consider the small size of the image space available, we'll appreciate the goldsmith's mastery in terms of his skilful elaboration of only some few, expressive details.
Seals have been known since classical antiquity. The motif is engraved as an intaglio (negative relief) into metal or carved into stone. Often worn in the form of a signet ring, a seal is not only an eye-catching adornment on the wearer's hand, but can also be applied easily and comfortably at any time. Even in later epochs, signet rings continued to form part of the jewellery spectrum.

The Ninth Wave is probably Aivazovsky's most famous and popular work. Originally acquired for the Imperial Hermitage, it was one of the first paintings in the collection of the Emperor Alexander III Russian Museum in 1897. The ninth wave - in popular legend, the most terrible, powerful and destructive wave - is fast approaching. Yet the darkness of the night is broken by the light of hope. A small group of people cling to the wreckage of the ship's mast, which seems a more reliable refuge at dawn than it did in the darkness of the night. The desperate attempts to survive will conquer the stormy sea. The Ninth Wave was, of course, also interpreted allegorically. The painting acquired symbolic meaning for many generations, instilling faith in the victory of man, humanity and life.

The horizontal and vertical black stripes and blocks of yellow, blue, and red against a white background create an active pattern of irregular sequences. Although this painting was named after a bustling square in Paris, it is removed from any notion of realistic reproduction. Rather, the network of lines and color blocks pulsates with the energy of the modern city that Mondrian embraced and celebrated.

Piet Mondrian fl ed from Paris in 1938 and settled in New York City a few years later, bringing with him this painting. Responding to the dynamism of the modern American city, he altered the painting, scraping away paint, widening lines, and adding bars of color. He said the blocks of color he added gave the work "more boogie woogie."

Studies for Madame X

In all of Sargent's sketches of Madame Pierre Gauteau and it is believed to be over a dozen total, not one sketch that I've seen shows her engaging us directly. This was to be a very special portrait from the beginning and what we see here is Sargent struggling with the idea of her final pose within his general concept of what he wanted.

He wants her to appear aloof. He wants us to gaze upon her -- not as a standard portrait -- but as an object of beauty. Little does he know just how effective he would eventually be.
