Francesc Masriera

Francesc Masriera i Manovens was a 19th century Spanish painter, noted for his full length portrayals of women in ornate dress or costume, leading him to often being described as an Orientalist.

He was particularly fascinated by the texture and sheen of the fabrics and rendering of the acoutremonts in which his models are arrayed.

Eye Turkey for Today: J.C. Leyendecker SEP cover

Begging for Turkey, J.C. Leyendecker, illustration for Saturday Evening Post Thanksgiving cover, December 2, 1933, oil on canvas, 32 x 24 inches (82 x 60 cm). Link is to the artwork on The Illustrated Gallery, large image here.

Another wonderful display of illustrative finess by the great American illustrator. Leyendecker seems to be way less interested in the turkey or even the dogs, than the lushly rendered attire of our off-balance server.

Eye Candy for today: Van Gogh rock drawing

The Rock of Montmajour with Pine Trees, Vincent van Gogh, pencil, pen, reed pen and brush and ink, on paper, 19 x 24 in. (49 x 61 cm), in the collection of the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam.

As much as I enjoy the color in Vincent Van Gogh’s later works, for which he is justly renowned, many of my favorite pieces by him are drawings.

These are technically monochromatic, largely drawn with the same ink in any given drawing, but applied throughout in such varying degrees of appearance that one could think of the variations as colors.

Belying the crudity of his eariest...

Dongfeng Li

Dongfeng Li is a Chinese born artist now living and working in the U.S. Though he also works in oil, his primary medium is watercolor.

With applications both sensitive and brusque, he captures the spirit of places and people, his palette varying with the subject.

There is a video on YouTube by the California Watercolor Association that shows some of his process.

Eye Candy for Today: Hugo Birger park scene

Park scene from Sevilla, Hugo Birger, oil on panel, 10 x 16 in. (26 x 41 cm). Link os to past auction page on Bukowskis.

In this small panel, !9th centiury Swedish painter Hugo Birger, who was likely influened by time he spent in the company of some of the Barbizon painters, paints a park secne in which he employs fresh, painterly brush work and naturalistic colors.

Marianne Stokes

Marianne Preindelsberger Stokes was an Austrian painter active in England in the late 19th eand early 20th centuries.

Her work was primarily figurative. Though many of her paintings are in oil, in her later career she favored egg tempera (as in the Madonna and Child image at top). In these she took stylistic cues from the early Renaissance, perhaps inspired by the Victorian Pre-Raphaelite painters who ware active at the same time.
