David Roberts
(1796- 1864)

David Roberts RA RBA  was a Scottish painter. He is especially known for The Holy Land, Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt, and Nubia, a prolific series of detailed lithograph prints of Egypt and the Near East that he produced from sketches he made during long tours of the region (1838–1840). These and his large oil paintings of similar subjects made him a prominent Orientalist painter. He was elected as a Royal Academician in 1841.

Evelyn De Morgan
(1855 - 1919)
 

Evelyn De Morgan was an English painter associated early in her career with the later phase of the Pre-Raphaelite Movement, and working in a range of styles including Aestheticism and Symbolism. Her paintings are figural, foregrounding the female body through the use of spiritual, mythological, and allegorical themes. They rely on a range of metaphors (such as light and darkness, transformation, and bondage) to express what several scholars have identified as spiritualist and feminist content. Her later works also dealt with the themes of war from a pacifist perspective, engaging with conflicts such as the Second Boer War and World War I.

 Aelbrecht Bouts
(1452 - 1549)
 

Aelbrecht Bouts was a Flemish painter of the Early Netherlandish era. His first name is sometimes spelled ‘Albert’, ‘Aelbert’ or ‘Albrecht’. He was born into a family of painters in Leuven. Aelbrecht’s father was Dieric Bouts the Elder (c. 1415-1475), and his brother was Dieric Bouts the Younger (c. 1448-1490). Jan Bouts (c. 1478-c. 1530), son of Dieric Bouts the Younger, also became a painter. Dieric Bouts the Younger inherited his father’s shop in 1475, while Aelbrecht established his own workshop, also in Leuven. Whereas Dieric the Younger continued in his father's style, Aelbrecht developed his own unmistakable style with strong colors, rich texture and fine details. He died in Leuven.

Jacob Cornelisz. van Oostsanen Painting a Portrait of His Wife

Oil on wood panel

Dirck Jacobsz here depicted his deceased father, Jacob Cornelisz van Oostsanen (about 1472-1533), also a painter. The painting within the painting shows Jacobsz’s mother, who died some years after her husband, possibly around the time this panel was painted. This unusual double portrait seems to be a kind of personal memorial by the son, who would have been positioned before the panel as painter, viewer, and object of his parents’ “attention.” The picture may also have served a more public function, since it possibly was installed above the couples’ grave.

Hans Holbein the Younger
(c. 1497 - 1543)
 

Hans Holbein the Younger was a German-Swiss painter and printmaker who worked in a Northern Renaissance style, and is considered one of the greatest portraitists of the 16th century. He also produced religious art, satire, and Reformation propaganda, and he made a significant contribution to the history of book design. He is called "the Younger" to distinguish him from his father Hans Holbein the Elder, an accomplished painter of the Late Gothic school.

https://www.pamm.org/en/artwork/2021.051/

The artist developed the geometric patterns in this series from his long–standing interest in the game of chess. Starting with an offhand drawing of circular forms, Orozco formulated a set of rules for their colors, which evolve and expand outward based on the L–shaped move a knight makes on a chessboard. The Samurai of the title is Orozco’s term for the knight chess piece.

The animation represents hundreds of manipulations of the chess move and is the basis of the print series. Orozco selected 672 "frames" from that animation to be produced as digital prints. The installation of the prints provides an alternative way of experiencing the variations: all at once, rather than frame by frame.

 In June the theme was taken from a book by Stephen Farthing, an English painter and writer of art history.

Andrew Cranston
(b. 1969)

Andrew Cranston  is a Scottish painter. His work has been reviewed and discussed in various publications such as The Guardian and The Spectator.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Cranston
 

Andrew Cranston is a painter-storyteller, a way of working that is enhanced by his often painting on the linen bound covers of old books. His stories coalesce in the process of making - the paintings emerging gradually through the manipulation of his materials: layering, lacquering, bleaching, collaging and constantly re- working his way into images that seem to shift backwards and forwards in time. He has described one of his works as ‘a painting that came out of my brush one day’, a statement that sums up his approach. They are resolutely contemporary in spirit and yet connected by a strong thread to painters of the past, especially perhaps to the intimism of Vuillard and Bonnard, or to Matisse or Munch.

In Those who hide well, live well, Cranston paints the view of a woodland from an interior setting inspired by the top-floor flat in Glasgow that he moved into during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. The title is a translation from a Latin quote by Cicero, which Cranston felt captured his appreciation of the intimate aspects of the forced isolation during this period.
