In a craggy, remote place, a witchlike figure stands next to a large black cauldron with glowing greenish smoke boiling up out of it into the dull blue evening sky. The cauldron is lit yellow-orange from below by fire. The witch isn't looking at the cauldron, though; they're looking at a laptop perched on a stool. While the screen is too small to be legible, someone familiar with YouTube will have the impression that the witch is watching a YouTube video tutorial. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

"Self-Portrait," Marie Benoist, 1786.

Marie-Guillemine Benoist (1768-1826) was obviously very talented, having painted this while only in her teens. And she went on to be an acclaimed neoclassical and historic painter. She was initially trained under Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun and later under Jacques-Louis David, so she had guidance from some of the top talent of her day.

She became an in-demand portraitist, and even had commissions from Napoleon Bonaparte himself. She enjoyed quite a big of success...until the Bonaparte era crumbled. In the face of growing conservatism in Europe, she tactfully retired from public life and only rarely painted.

I love the energy depicted here...it's so obviously the work of someone very young and very excited and confident.

From the Staatliche Kunsthalle Karlsruhe.

#Art #SelfPortrait #NeoClassicism #MarieBenoist #WomenAritsts #WomenInArt

A Neoclassical painting. The artist depicts herself in a Grecian-style robe, with the right shoulder slipping down and nearly baring a breast. Her hair is tied back with a ribbon but also cascades down her back. Her seat is covered with a gold cloth. She holds assorted brushes in her left hand, and her right applies a brush to the canvas before her, a portrait of a child that happens to look with wonder at her. She gazes out cheerfully at the viewer.

Illustrated vintage pin-up calendar from 1952.

A blonde woman with a girl-next-door face sits on the ground and leans forward on her arms. She wears just a silky blue shirt that ever so barely reaches the top of her thighs. Her right knee is bent and her long left leg stretches out behind her, toes pointed like a dancer. She looks over her shoulder and smiles at the viewer.

At the bottom, text says:

Although you're an expert hunter,
A dead shot with a dash o' luck,
Better sharpen your aim for this fair game—
She's no man's sitting duck.

I'm happy that my watercolor painting 'Ladybird on four-leaf clover' won first place in the Fine Art America contest 'Saint Patrick's Day' run by the Creative Women Group.
Thank you to everyone who voted!

Ladybird on four-leaf clover is a detail from the watercolor painting A lucky day painted by the artist Karen Kaspar. The original painting was painted in landscape format. Here, a section in square format was chosen. Another cut-out in portrait format is also available in my shop. Choose for yourself which format fits best in your rooms.
The watercolor painting is built up of many layers of different bright fresh green tones and shows the abstracted detail of a wildflower meadow with many four-leaf clovers. On one of the clovers sits a red ladybird with black dots. Due to the strong complementary contrast between red and green, this little lucky ladybird is the focus of the picture and attracts attention. The four-leaf clovers and the ladybird are symbols of luck. I wish you that this picture brings a lot of luck and joy into your home.

Louvre robbery: Could a 50-year-old maths problem have kept the museum safe?

An audacious heist at the Louvre saw thieves make off with priceless crown jewels in broad daylight – here is how a decades-old geometry problem can help museums boost their security.

By Kit Yates

Projet d'aménagement de la Grande Galerie du Louvre (1796).https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hubert_Robert_-_Projet_d%27am%C3%A9nagement_de_la_Grande_Galerie_du_Louvre_(1796).JPG

The viewer is positioned within the gallery looking down its length, giving a strong sense of depth and perspective.

The ceiling appears vaulted, with large arches and perhaps skylights or clerestory windows (suggesting zenithal lighting) that bring in daylight from above. This lighting enhances the sense of a museum space.
quatuor.org

The walls: Both sides of the gallery are lined with paintings hung closely (“touche-touche” style) and shelves or pedestals of sculptures. On the right side, in the foreground, there is an easel with a painting in progress and a figure at work.

The gallery is structured by series of large arches, double columns or pilasters with Corinthian capitals, and regular bays — all giving a rhythm to the space. The floor appears smooth and polished; the walls are neutral, letting the artworks stand out.

In the scene there are a number of visitors or artists: some seated, some standing, some copying works.

A silent watcher beneath the green surface — this alligator was just a few feet away, perfectly hidden among the duckweed and reeds of the Florida Everglades. A reminder that in these waters, the wild is always closer than it seems.

Incredible on an oversized medium, metal, canvas and a great gift idea for the nature lover in your life.

Lisa del Giocondo died #OTD in 1542.

According to Giorgio Vasari and numerous other scholars, Lisa Gherardini was the woman portrayed in Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa, a work commissioned from the artist during the early 16th century by her husband. Centuries after da Vinci´s death, the Mona Lisa became the world's most famous painting and a symbol of Western art. In 2005, Lisa Gherardini was definitively identified as the model for Leonardo's painting.

Leonardo Painting the Mona Lisa Aimee Brune Pages 1845 Engraved by Charles Lemoine from the oil original Paris, Bibliothèque Nationale

Leonardo is shown intently working on the Mona Lisa, his posture and expression indicating deep concentration. He is likely dressed in the attire typical of his era, with long robes and perhaps a cap, emphasizing his status as a master artist.

The painting on the easel, the Mona Lisa, is partially visible, capturing the iconic pose and enigmatic expression that the painting is known for.

The setting is Leonardo's studio, filled with artistic tools and elements that reflect his work environment. There may be sketches, models, and other paintings visible, providing context to his creative process.

Hey, artists of the Fediverse - random question that popped into my head this evening.

I see all over the place folks that have an original piece of art, and then prints.

How do you make the prints?

Is it specialty digital photography that you can then print? Or scanning the original piece? Or something else entirely?

Boosts welcome, as well as suggestions for better hashtags.
