Gerrit Dou
1613–1675)

Gerrit Dou, also known as Gerard Douw or Dow, was a Dutch Golden Age painter, whose small, highly polished paintings are typical of the Leiden fijnschilders. He specialised in genre scenes and is noted for his trompe-l'œil "niche" paintings and candlelit night-scenes with strong chiaroscuro. He was a student of Rembrandt.

The subject of this painting is from Sir Walter Scott’s poem 'The lay of the last minstrel' (1805). The lovesick Earl of Surrey – courtier, soldier and poet at the court of Henry VIII – is awestruck before an apparition of ‘the fair Geraldine’, to whose lifelong service he had devoted his pen. He kneels in a magic circle surrounded by an array of cabbalistic implements. The vision of Surrey’s unattainable maiden (seen reclining on a couch reading her lover’s verses) is conjured in a magic mirror by the agency of the sorcerer, Cornelius Agrippa.

 Pablo Picasso
(1881 - 1973)
 

Pablo Ruiz Picasso (25 October 1881 – 8 April 1973) was a Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist, and theatre designer who spent most of his adult life in France. One of the most influential artists of the 20th century, he is known for co-founding the Cubist movement, the invention of constructed sculpture, the co-invention of collage, and for the wide variety of styles that he helped develop and explore. Among his most famous works are the proto-Cubist Les Demoiselles d'Avignon (1907) and the anti-war painting Guernica (1937), a dramatic portrayal of the bombing of Guernica by German and Italian air forces during the Spanish Civil War. His career spanned more than 76 years, from his late teens to his death in 1973.

 Elliott Erwitt
(1928 - 2023)

Elliott Erwitt was born in Paris in 1928 to a Russian family. He spent his childhood in Milan. In 1939, his family immigrated to the United States. In 1951, he was drafted into the Army, where he performed photographer's duties during his service in Germany and France. In New York, Erwitt met Edward Steichen, Robert Capa, and Roy Stryker, the former Director of the Farm Security Administration’s information division. Stryker initially hired Erwitt to work on a photography project for the Standard Oil Company, where he created a photo library for the company. Elliott also completed a project for the Pittsburgh Photographic Library. In 1953, Erwitt joined the team of Magnum Photos. He also worked as a freelance photographer for Collier’s, Look, LIFE, Holiday, and other famous publications. In the late 1960s, Erwitt became the president of Magnum Photos and held the position for three years. Despite regular criticism towards Erwitt and the use of such characterizations as ‘shallow’ or ‘frivolous’ regarding his work, he remains one of the most popular and sought-after photographers. His images have been published in at least 19 books and exhibited in museums all around the world. Erwitt was awarded the Royal Photographic Society’s Centenary Medal and an honorary fellowship (HonFRPS) in 2002 in recognition of a sustained, significant contribution to the art of photography. In 2011, he received the International Center for Photography’s Infinity Award for Lifetime Achievement.

Walter Sickert
(1860 - 1942)

Walter Richard Sickert  was a German-born British painter and printmaker who was a member of the Camden Town Group of Post-Impressionist artists in early 20th-century London. He was an important influence on distinctively British styles of avant-garde art in the mid and late 20th century.

Following the example of Édouard Manet (1832 – 1883) and Edgar Degas (1834 – 1917) and their paintings of Parisian cafes and theatres, Sickert painted the raucous nightlife of London’s music halls throughout his career. He was a regular visitor at the Bedford Music Hall in Camden Town, the subject of this painting. Sickert may have intended it as a sequel to his earlier picture of the child performer Little Dot Hetherington on the stage of the Bedford, in which she is shown pointing to this spot while singing the popular song, “The Boy I Love is up in the Gallery”. As well as recording vividly the atmosphere and setting of a late 19th century performance, this is a brilliant exercise in lighting and composition. Sickert exploits the contrast between the shadowy auditorium and the reflected glare of the stage, and creates tricks of space and perspective by means of the giant mirror on the left.
