Could this Russian artist be the mother of the three children at breakfast in the painting above? The portrait below was painted in 1922.

The big birds just overhead bring a person right into the picture - as if sitting in a rowboat. I never saw anything like it!

Quote:

"Springtime in Eskdale" is an extremely detailed landscape painting by the Scottish artist James McIntosh Patrick. It depicts "The Crooks" in Eskdalemuir, Dumfriesshire, Scotland, birthplace of the famous engineer Thomas Telford (1757-1834). Patrick painted it in 1934 to mark the centenary of his death.

The painting shows people visiting a cottage, a farmer ploughing a field and a river in the middle ground. Light spreads evenly throughout the scene, except for a long shadow in the foreground, suggesting that the artist looked down on the landscape from on high.

Patrick loved to paint out of doors, believing that his landscapes could encourage people to appreciate nature: "I don't suppose there is much sentimentality about my paintings, but I have a deep feeling that Nature is immensely dignified when you are out of doors. I am struck by the dignity of everything." http://www.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/picture-of-month/displaypicture.asp?venue=2&id=29

Isaac Ilyich Levitan (Russian language: &#1048;&#1089;&#1072;&#1072;&#1082; &#1048;&#1083;&#1100;&#1080;&#1095; &#1051;&#1077;&#1074;&#1080;&#1090;&#1072;&#1085;, August 30, 1860 - July 22 August 4 new style, 1900) was a classical Russian landscape painter who advanced the genre of the mood landscape....

Levitan spent the last year of his life at Chekhov’s home in Crimea. In spite of the effects of a terminal illness, his last works are increasingly filled with light. They reflect tranquility and the eternal beauty of Russian nature.

Isaac Levitan's hugely influential art heritage consists of more than a thousand paintings, among them watercolors, pastels, graphics, and illustrations. - wikipedia.com

This is a very "realistic" still-life. If one had no idea what a lemon is or what grapes are would one still find this painting beautiful? Some "surrealist" painters make beautiful painting also, but of unreconizeable objects. Yves Tanguy, for instance.

I really love those 2 paintings of spring time. They are just beautiful, and I can just sit there and stare.....how beautiful.....you can really get the feeling like you are there almost! Anyways, I found this picture, and really like the detail of the pic I can see...the ripling and droplets of the water, the bug frozen in mid air that the duck is about to have for a meal....such a nice picture and wanted to share.... :)

This painting grabbed my attention - I never saw rocks painted so nicely. And the lady lost in thought brings the viewer into thoughts about sitting quietly, and being one with nature.

Sir Anthony van Dyck (many variant spellings), (22 March 1599 – 9 December 1641) was a Flemish artist who became the leading court painter in England. He is most famous for his portraits of Charles I of England and his family and court, painted with a relaxed elegance that was to be the dominant influence on English portrait-painting for the next 150 years. - Wikipedia.com

At the bottom of the painting, it mentioned Princess so and so 19 something to 19 something.....One of them was 15 years and the other was a few years, I think it was three....can't turn back to the picture while I am typing.....anyways....I wonder if that is how long they lived? Do you know?
