Guess the artwork from the picture.

[Flinn]

ok so let's make some analysis.

Stile wise this is most probably from 19th century, second half; knowing you it must be from some German painter, now I only need to identify who

[Morticia Iunia Bruti]

So right so far.

[Flinn]

So... this wasn't so easy after all, I kept looking for "Juliet" as I was somewhat convinced that that artwork was related to her (typical romantic period, you know

I'm not entirely sure of the English translation of the name, but I guess that "Dreaming on the windowsill" will do

August Friedrich Siegert, I did not know him yet and I'm surprised of how little info in English are available, considering how talented he was.

[Morticia Iunia Bruti]

Its indeed "Dreaming on the windowsill" from August Friedrich Siegert, a 19th century painter from my home town Neuwied.

He is a member of the so called "Düsseldorfer Schule", a group of romantic german painters of the 19. century. He lived after the art academy a few years in Neuwied again. Although a good place for Science and Art, as the local Princes of Wied supported science and art, it was a small town, far away from the metropols of the world like Rome, Paris, London, Berlin. I guess thats the reason, why he is relative unknown. But i guess i will make a thread about him.

Your turn.

ok will post a new one on monday

[Flinn]

there it is

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

[Flinn]

Hint: is a youth work from a very famous artist, one of the greatest ever lived

[Morticia Iunia Bruti]

Looks like roman, but as Maria is depicted i would tip on renaissance. Probably Italy.

Michelangelo?

[Flinn]

Michelangelo indeed, very early work of his

[Morticia Iunia Bruti]

Thank you.

That work has definitely a Romantic feeling on it, but there isn't much to look at in the picture itself. A hint will be appreciated

[Morticia Iunia Bruti]

Its from an scientific expedition and its not Europe.

[Flinn]

So I could see what look like a moose probably, so I'm assuming this is North America.. exploration of North America during 19th Century.. again, I'm betting you are referring to some German artist from that period. After a bit of searching for "German landscape illustrator 19th century" I found about Karl Bodmer (who was Swiss, actually), and after further searching I ended up identifying that work as the "Mouth of Fox River" (or possibly "Confluence of the Fox River and the Wabash in Indiana").

[Morticia Iunia Bruti]

Its indeed "Confluence of Fox River and the Wabash in Indiana" by Karl Bodmer, who is remarkable because:

His portraits were the first accurate portrayal of western Indians in their homelands, and they are considered remarkable for their careful detail and sensitivity to the personalities of his sitters. To this day, Bodmer's work remains one of the most perceptive and compelling visual accounts of the American interior.^[5] Bodmer's work is recognised as among the most accurate painted images ever made of Native Americans, their culture and artifacts, and of the scenery of the pristine "Old West".

Karl Bodmer - Wikipedia

As fate is a Bodmer died as poor man in France, as galerists intentionally don't sell his pictures before his death to increase the prices.

His pictures of the Missouri Expedition are also precious, as in 1837-1838 90 % of the depicted Mandan tribe were extinquished by a small pox epidemy.

I personally know about Bodmer because my father gave me as present a reprint of the "Reise in das Innere Nord-Amerikas" by Prince Maximilian of Wied-Neuwied.

Your turn.

[Flinn]

Honestly I wish I could be that good in portraying landscapes, but I'm very bad at that, sadly

next one

[Flinn]

That's a pretty famous artwork from a VERY famous artist. Bronze statues were not really his usual bread, though.

[Flinn]

ok so.. this one is tricky indeed

let me add a few hints: this artwork was imagined long ago by the greatest of all times, but he never realized it. There are nowadays 5 or 6 copies around the world, this one is in Milan and it's the most accurate, though not really close to the original size (which was huge, 100 tons of bronze were supposed to be used!!).

[Flinn]

That statue is in Milan as I said.. it shouldn't be hard to find a bronze statue of a horse in Milan, is it?

[realm56]

Leonardo's Horse?

[Flinn]

Indeed, this artwork is inspired by Leonardo's Horse, which was never realized because the 100 tons of bronze which were saved for the statue, ended up being used for manufacturing cannons. This one specifically is the one realized by Nina Akamu and installed at the entrance of the Hippodrome in Milan.

Over to you

Can't rep him, anyone who can do me the favor, please do so. Thanks!
