Peter BLAKE - On the balcony (1955-1957)

On the balcony 1955-1957 Oil painting on canvas (121x91 cm) Tate Gallery, London ******* The figures sitting on a park bench are surrounded by four paintings by some of Blake's companions and various commercial objects, including packets of cigarettes, newspapers and food packages. The structure of the painting is very simple and the attention to perspective is somewhat lacking; the real interest is to be found in the attention to the representation of the objects, which are the most important elements of the composition. At the time of its creation it was considered Blake's masterpiece for its strong visual impact and now communicates the full sense of cultural growth in the 1950s, putting the observer in front of a messy crowd of popular images. This representation of commercial objects paved the way for another great artistic movement: Pop Art. In the 1970s, Blake moved towards a more naturalistic style and by 1975 he also became a founding member of the Brotherhood of Rur

Lucas van Leyden - Healing of the blind man of Jericho (c. 1543)

The Flemish attention of Lucas van Leyden shows us all his skills as a draftsman, colorist, landscape painter and landscape painter. Many figures, perhaps too many, but after careful reading and reconstruction you can understand what happens. Nice 16th century clothes on 1st century characters but that's okay. Attention to detail, a light that is always that of the north, gray and without shadows. The two side figures are a novelty in the style of the time, there are no patrons but two patient people holding up the patrons' family shields, he with that of her husband, she with that of his wife.

Jan van Eyck - Madonna of Chancellor Rolin (c. 1434)

In a single work Jan van Eyck has inserted a universe of Beauty and luxury. From the floor, to the walls and windows, from the fabrics to the view. Not to mention the crown of the Virgin. Accuracy is incredible. A masterpiece, simply.

Bernardo Bellotto - New Market Square in Dresden (1747)

A shrewd salesman. Bernardo Bellotto had an uncle, Antonio Canal whom we all know as Canaletto, was very well liked by his uncle who suggested that he sign up as Canaletto for easy access to the market. He leaves Venice and deals only with views. Find home with Augustus III, great elector of Saxony and king of Poland; he wanted to go to Moscow, called by Catherine II. It stops earlier, given the economic security offered to it. Catherine II will only have to buy the paintings dedicated to Dresden for a mad sum that will be put on the market following the opening of the hereditary axis of the owner, who is in this painting in the carriage.

Bartolomé Esteban Murillo - Boy with dog (1655-1660)

Bartolomé Esteban Murrillo gives a suggestion that will turn into Impressionism. The child's gaze and smile was portrayed in the moment, an immediate moment of painting. Manet will be very inspired by this work by creating an incision with the same subject. A painting that can contain an allusive message. The boy, with an accomplice smile to the dog, shows a vase. In the 17th century a vase was associated with the female body. This painting pairs with a portrait of a girl selling fruit ...

Jean-Marc Nattier - Peter the Great (1717)

Jean-Marc Nattier is a curious character. In France he was not famous, one of his most important clients was the Tsar of Russia who asked him to follow him to Moscow and become his court artist. But he refuses preferring to stay in his native country. Tenacious, he manages to achieve notoriety in his country, thanks to his elegant ability to portray and the speed of his stroke. His career will end in oblivion, moreover attacked and opposed by Diderot, consultant of Catherine II to create the collection that would later become the central nucleus of the Hermitage ... where this work found a home.

Pieter Paul Rubens - Perseus frees Andromeda (c. 1622)

1600 represented for Rubens the fulfillment of his artistic training, in Italy he knew the Renaissance, the Venetian School and the one between Tuscany and Rome. We can also imagine him conversing with a respectable contemporary: Caravaggio. This work is the sum of his studies perfected by his personality and vision of Art. Guided by Ovid's Metamorphoses; the winner is crowned with victory; Medusa performs his task from the hero's shield.
