that he could sit there with a dead animal in front of him day after day painting it...My guess is that is what he did, because a dead animal is not going to smell so good (or be safe to eat) after a little while...

I cannot tell you how overwhelming the sheer number of "still life" art was in the Hals museum in Haarlem when I was there! It was overwhelming...a huge room full of it...dead game, cheeses, meats, vegetables and on and on...these people must have eaten pretty well! The Dutch really did a number on this one!

I found 4b right off the bat, but still stumped on 4a pinboy3niner Mar 2013 #12

It is a different event. Look more to style... CTyankee Mar 2013 #13

Reading about 4b, I've just learned that painters were often paid... countryjake Mar 2013 #16

Try including "Banquet" in your search... countryjake Mar 2013 #17

4a and 4b are by Tiepolo and Veronese, respectively pinboy3niner Mar 2013 #18

wonderful research, Pinboy! Congratulations! CTyankee Mar 2013 #20

3b by Chardin countryjake Mar 2013 #19

Tell me how you came to this... CTyankee Mar 2013 #21

I haven't been able to find 3a. countryjake Mar 2013 #28

that is because it isn't an "exact" copy of a Chardin work. It is more of a genre CTyankee Mar 2013 #32

Just love your posts! burrowowl Mar 2013 #22

Hey, thanks! Take a guess on 3a! CTyankee Mar 2013 #23

van Gogh, Cezanne, Pisarro marions ghost Mar 2013 #24

I know absolutely NOTHING about art Ratty Mar 2013 #35

Oh, thanks! Aren't they all beautiful? CTyankee Mar 2013 #36

My guess for 3a is Cezanne. DanTex Mar 2013 #37

what makes you think it is a Cezanne? CTyankee Mar 2013 #39

Because it looks "Cezanne-y"? DanTex Mar 2013 #40

well, well, you are correct...and the work is...??? CTyankee Mar 2013 #41

Cool! The work I can't tell you. DanTex Mar 2013 #42

I already guessed Cezanne marions ghost Mar 2013 #43

Yes, you did! Sorry if I didn't credit you...my bad...urk... CTyankee Mar 2013 #45

It's really fascinating Aerows Mar 2013 #57

that is a good point! I never thought of it that way... CTyankee Mar 2013 #59

Probably a goofy way of putting it Aerows Mar 2013 #61
