I'm thinking of putting all these paintings on my digital frame
and imagining that I own these beautiful works of art...
John William Waterhouse
British
1849-1917

Hmm, 3 paintings with the same name...
perhaps an art historian could explain the reason for this?
I've renamed them with more distinct titles... :)
a - Two Ladies Bending Down to Get Flowers
b - One Lady Standing Up and Holding Flowers in a Bowl
c - One Lady Standing Up and Holding Flowers But Deciding That
There's No Need for a Bowl When Her Arms Will Suffice

[Now if she was in the mood for a bit of gatherin',
would this painting also be called Gather Ye Rosebuds?]

[see rendition "If artists had more paint"]

[There are recurring themes by other artists. I like this painting
but I love the work of the same name done by Sir Frank Dicksee]

[I still haven't seen the film based on this legend...I will soon...]
See more period paintings at Gallery of Selective Artwork
I just happened upon your blog...and I think it's beautiful!! It has all the things I enjoy. Lovely paintings too!:)
ReplyDeleteAnd I wanted to mention that it looks like this particular artist has used the same model for atleast the first half of the collection you have up here...
Thanks Risa! There are so many great films and paintings, etc to behold!
