Portrait of a Young Girl
Is that in a church or something?
-
Ready for the Ball
Oooh, a fan.
-
The Time of the Lilacs
I have some of those…
-
Young Girl Fixing her Hair
Why is it in Category:Blond hair on the Commons? Looks pretty red to me…
-
A Spring Beauty
That hat just wows me out.
-
The Turtledove
Simply amazing.
-
Take the Fair Face of Woman, and Gently Suspending, with Butterflies, Flowers, and Jewels Attending, thus your Fairy is Made of Most Beautiful Things
Definately my favourite painting by her.
-
Tete d'Etude l'Oiseau
I just love the dress…
-
The Young Shepherdess
Interesting I don't see any sheep…
-
Big Sis'
I would really like to be in the littler sister's position :)
-
A Little Coaxing
She wouldn't need to coax me?I'd give it to her almost before she asked!
-
Not Too Much To Carry
That looks like a familiar position…
-
At The Fountain
I think I'm speechless. I wish I could paint that.
-
A Childhood Idyll
(I would probably have fallen asleep?good thing he never used me as a model! Well I guess it helps to have not been born until 82 years after he died…)
-
Two Sisters
Well I've said before you can never have too much Bouguereau! :)
-
The Luncheon of the Boating Party
-
-
Mademoiselle Irine Cahen d'Anvers
-
Dance at the
Moulin de la Galette
-
Girls at the Piano
-
In the Peristyle
There's nothing like simplicity + beauty?I just love it.
-
Ophelia
Shakespeare rocks my socks anyway. :)
-
A Roman Offering
The only thing I don't like about it is it's long and narrow. Everything else is top notch.
-
A Naiad
"Anybody home?" :P
-
La Belle Dame sans Merci
I saw this and a few other Waterhouses at a bed&breakfast in Southeast England and I'll never forget how beautiful they were (they were the first Waterhouses I'd seen).
-
Ophelia
This one is even better than the other one.
-
Juliet
If she didn't look exactly like one of my younger sisters it wouldn't be such a big deal. But she does. And I really want to kiss her. :)
-
A Mermaid
That's the only real-looking mermaid I've ever seen?the rest are so ridiculous I just want to puke.
-
The Crystal Ball
I actually thought that was a clock the very first time I saw it.
-
Windswept
She looks surprisingly detached…
-
Lamia
That looks almost Impressionistic (although not as much as the
Gather Ye Rosebuds While Ye May
series)…
-
I am Half Sick of the Shadows Said the Lady of Shalot
Most of his late-later works I don't like, but this is an exception.
-
Miranda
As is this.
-
The Accolade
My eye for detail feasts on this, simply feasts on it. Impressionism is good, but this leaves it far behind.
-
The Call to Arms
Action building…
-
Courtship
This little painting has about the same effect as
chamber music
.
-
Godspeed
No detail is too small.
-
Lilacs
Would you like a few?
-
The King and the Beggarmaid
It actually took me a few seconds to notice her clothes. I actually thought it was his queen or something at first.
-
Tristan und Isolde
I can never think of this subject without thinking of
Wagner
.
