Francisco Laso
(1823 - 1869)

The Three Races or Equality before the Law
1859
Oil on canvas
105 x 81 cm
MALI, Museo de Arte de Lima, Peru

Three persons—of Indigenous, African, and European descent—sit around a table, quietly absorbed in a game of cards. Laso, a Peruvian painter known for his early explorations of national identity, presents this ordinary scene with a quietly radical message: shared space, shared rules, and shared attention suggest a vision of equality more intimate than idealized. The game is never named, but everyone is playing.

Giorgione
(1477-78 - 1510)
 

Giorgio Barbarelli da Castelfranco known as Giorgione was an Italian painter of the Venetian school during the High Renaissance, who died in his thirties. He is known for the elusive poetic quality of his work, though only about six surviving paintings are firmly attributed to him. The uncertainty surrounding the identity and meaning of his work has made Giorgione one of the most mysterious figures in European art.

Titian
(1477-78 - 1576)
 

Tiziano Vecellio (Titian), was an Italian Renaissance painter, the most important artist of Renaissance Venetian painting. He was born in Pieve di Cadore, near Belluno. During his lifetime he was often called da Cadore, 'from Cadore', taken from his native region.

The Sleeping Venus (Italian: Venere dormiente), also known as the Dresden Venus (Venere di Dresda), is a painting traditionally attributed to the Italian Renaissance painter Giorgione, although it has long been widely thought that Titian completed it after Giorgione's death in 1510. The landscape and sky are generally accepted to be mainly by Titian. In the 21st century, much scholarly opinion has shifted further, to see the nude figure of Venus as also painted by Titian, leaving Giorgione's contribution uncertain. It is in the Gemäldegalerie, Dresden. After World War II, the painting was briefly in possession of the Soviet Union.

James Ward
(1769 - 1859)
 

James Ward RA was an English painter, particularly of animals, and an engraver. From 1810 or so onward, Ward specialised in painting horses within landscapes; slightly later, he turned to very large-scale landscapes, of which Gordale Scar (Tate, London), completed in 1814 or 1815 and depicting Gordale Scar (Yorkshire) as an example of the sublime, is considered his masterpiece and a masterpiece of English Romantic painting.

 Luigi Di Giovanni
(1856 - 1938)
 

Luigi Di Giovanni was born in Palermo in 1856. His first apprenticeship was with his father Giuseppe, a painter and engraver well-known in the artistic circles of the city, with whom he frescoed numerous buildings in Palermo.
During his stay in Naples from 1873 to 1882 he was a student of Domenico Morelli, to whose teaching some works of historical subjects are linked. He is known above all for many oil paintings, watercolors and pastels, depicting genre subjects such as Sicilian women in folk costume or views of strong realistic rendering.
Di Giovanni returned to Palermo in 1882 and in 1886 obtained the chair of figure painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Palermo, where he taught for forty years, in addition to creating a very popular pastel school.
He collaborated on the decorations of the Teatro Politeama and the Teatro Massimo with Ettore De Maria Bergler and Michele Cortegiani. He died in Palermo in 1938.

Bernardo Strozzi, named il Cappuccino and il Prete Genovese, was an Italian Baroque painter and engraver. A canvas and fresco artist, his wide subject range included history, allegorical, genre and portrait paintings as well as still lifes. Born and initially mainly active in Genoa, he worked in Venice in the latter part of his career. His work exercised considerable influence on artistic developments in both cities. He is considered a principal founder of the Baroque style in Venetian painting. His powerful art stands out by its rich and glowing colour and broad, energetic brushstrokes.

 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.

One of the first ever female pupils at London's Slade School, she has littered this work with hidden feminist symbolism. Whilst the scene depicts the arrival of sleep it can also be interpreted as "entering an new dawn, where the figure will awake to a world of equal gender rights, ready, like de Morgan, to make their mark.

Peter Paul Rubens
 (1577–1640)
 

Sir Peter Paul Rubens was a Flemish artist and diplomat. He is considered the most influential artist of the Flemish Baroque tradition. Rubens' highly charged compositions reference erudite aspects of classical and Christian history. His unique and immensely popular Baroque style emphasised movement, colour, and sensuality, which followed the immediate, dramatic artistic style promoted in the Counter-Reformation. Rubens was a painter producing altarpieces, portraits, landscapes, and history paintings of mythological and allegorical subjects. He was also a prolific designer of cartoons for the Flemish tapestry workshops and of frontispieces for the publishers in Antwerp.

Two Sleeping Children


c. 1612-13
Oil on canvas
65.5 × 50.5 cm
The National Museum of Western Art, Tokyo

 

The two innocent sleeping children seen here are thought to be Clara and Philip, the children of Rubens's elder brother. This elder brother, Philip, was extremely close to Rubens and he died in 1611. He left two children, born in 1610 and 1611, and Rubens is thought to have created this study from his deep regard for his brother. Judging from the ages of the children, this work is thought to have been painted around 1612/1613. Rubens later used the faces of these two children in large-scale paintings in oils, respectively the Madonna in Floral Wreath (Alte Pinakothek, Munich) and the Madonna and the Angels (Musée du Louvre, Paris). 

Frederic Leighton

Based on Giovanni Boccaccio's The Decameron, the painting depicts a scene from the first tale of day five; Iphigenia is sleeping in the woods and Cymon, a young nobleman, stands gazing at her beauty which fills him with inspiration.

Willem van Mieris
(1662– 1747)
 

Willem van Mieris  was a painter, sculptor and etcher active in Leiden. He was born in Leiden and studied under his father Frans van Mieris the Elder (1635–1682), who was a successful genre painter. Willem had a reasonably successful career, being supported by a few patrons who commissioned and collected various of his works. His oeuvre consists mostly of genre and portraiture, with some landscape painting, as well as some sculptures. Van Mieris' style was that of the fijnschilders (painters in the "fine manner"), and his genre works, especially later in his career, depicted scenes from upper-class society.
