Pictures I like

[Philoctetes]

Again, Philo, two of my favorites from PS2. Especially Shadow.

I didn't think I'd like Shadow more, but that storyline just grips you and drags you down with it.

A Jn Singer Sargent watercolor — Venice: Under the Rialto Bridge

By the same man who created that painting with the young girls and the rather tall vase?

[Karl Henning]

Aye. A pair of vases.

[Opus106]

Aye. A pair of vases.

That's quite a contrast in styles!

[Opus106]

Ooh, found this at Wikipedia.



I might have wished for a little more detail... still, even the thumbnail was quite striking.

Part of it is the different media, part of it that the one is a portrait, and the subjects are meant to be recognized.

Part of it is that he painted the Venice watercolor 27 years after the Boit daughters : )

[Karl Henning]

This is a portrait about nine years after the Boit daughters canvas.

[Opus106]

Appreciate the information. Found some more landscapes that are more in line with the Venice you posted.

[Karl Henning]

A pleasure, Nav.

At mfa.org, you can search the collection by artist, and narrow it (if you wish) by medium.

E.g.
