Monday Morning Museum: Andreas Achenbach

Andreas Achenbach – Friday 29 September 1815 Kassel, Germany to Friday 1 April 1910 Dusseldorf, Germany

German Landscape Painter


Here is an early Andreas Achenbach work – Landschaft mit Kirche von Schwarzrheindorf, 1839 – that I like because of the overall color of the painting.

Monday Morning Museum: Annibale Carracci

Annibale Carracci – Sunday 3 November 1560 Bologna, Italy to Saturday 15 July 1609 Rome, Italy

I receive a real sense of serenity when I look at – Roman Landscape, circa 1600 – which is a much simpler view of Rome than the one I know from my only visit to the Eternal City




Last Monday’s Artist – Thomas Sully

Thomas Sully – Thursday 19 June 1783 Horncastle, England to Tuesday 5 November 1872 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

In addition to portraits, Thomas Sully also painted other subject matters such as – Capuchin Chapel, 1821 – which I like because of his use of perspective.

Georges-Pierre Seurat – Friday 2 December 1859 Paris, France to Sunday 29 March 1891 Paris, France

French Pointillist Painter


Having spent Monday 12 August 2002 on the island of La Grande Jatte, I have an even more positive feeling for – A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte, 1884-1886 – than I did when I first saw it at the Art Institute of Chicago in the previous century.
