Walter, those cliffs look a lot like Etretat to me. I spent two years in that lovely hamlet; I wonder how long Monet painted there. Go to google images and ask for monet etretat.
There are a couple of paintings Monet did in Etretat ... I've seen some as originals :wink:
(And Etretat a couple of times as well.)
Actually, my encyclopedia only lists two by Monet and two by Corbet - I might have mixed them up.
Perhaps one of the most important European exhibitions of the year:
"Views on Europe - Europe and German Painting in the 19th Century"
(
Link to the museum's exhibtion website)
An exhibition of the "Staatliche Museen zu Berlin", "Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden" and the "Bayerischen Staatsgemäldesammlungen" in Munich in cooperation with the Musée des Beaux-Arts / Paleis voor Schone Kunsten , Brussels.
Quote:The exhibition "Views on Europe" examines how Europe was portrayed in German painting of the 19th century. How did Germans see Europe in that era influenced by artists ranging from Goethe to Rilke? What did they observe and what didn't they notice? While many artists looked to the south - to Greece and Italy as the roots of European culture on the whole - others peered over the fence to their French, Dutch and Austrian neighbours. Of course, there are numerous references to other European nations, as well. Caspar David Friedrich, for instance, was inspired by the stunning landscapes of Bohemia and Silesia, and Belgium provided the field of historical painting with important thematic impulses. This exhibition in Brussels will not only focus on the thematic points mentioned above, which - in the spirit of the European Union - demonstrates the common links between nations, states and regions, but will also present the large German museums which hold important collections of art from this period, in particular those from Berlin, Dresden and Munich. This two-fold concept reveals Germany's history as the history of small states whose interaction helped form cultural unity and diversity.
The exhibition will feature a large array of artists, including Karl Friedrich Schinkel, Karl Blechen, Caspar David Friedrich, Philipp Otto Runge, Adolph Menzel and Max Liebermann.
Well! Here's quite a pithy review of The Unknown Monet exhibition -

Ive just posted my application form to hopefully get a piece of work into this summer ssummer xhibition and the Royal Academy UK in the middle of the year!
When I go to hand it in I may go to see the Gilbert and George exhibition now showing at the Tate Modern.
OK, I'll look at all those. Did you happen to read Peter Robb's Caravaggio? Well, I suppose it is just one more, and the bit that sunk in with me in any case was my first read, Vasari's account, though I like Robb, especially his Midnight in Sicily.
Last time I was in Rome (sob!), there was a big Caravaggio show at the Barberini Palazzo. I like the works in churches, in situ, as it happens.
Material Girl, didn't mean to miss your post. Good luck, and however it goes, have fun with the doing.
I entered a bunch of contests at one point. Never got anywhere, though at in one event even being asked to enter was a kind of blimpy bigtime honor. But I do remember that one particular judge was on all the art juries that nixed me.
Eminent fellow, hiss.
Not that he was wrong....
No, not native Milan, native da Caravaggio.... otherwise all good news.
looking at second link ---- ok, then, but not one of his majors, imho.
I await seeing the peeling of fruit...
