Fine Art Tuesday

 

Christ with Martha and Mary
Henryk Hektor Siemiradzki born 1843 in what is now the Ukraine to Polish parents. Died in 1902.

Sword Dance. This is a massive painting, 47" tall by 87" wide.

Siemiradzki's works often leave the viewer thinking "I wish I lived in a world like that". His blues tend to be highly saturated and the light suffused yet luminescent.

By the Fountain

Following the Gods

Rope Dancer

    I was thinking along Mark's line. I really like those diffused, gauzy "better worlds".
