Ah, I see you are back for MORE of the Friday Afternoon Challenge! Today: Inspiration! [View all]

These works inspired paintings by later artists. Can you identify the original work and the later ones?

...and what have I told you about cheating? Don’t.

#6 is Theodora, from the Basilica of San Vitale. Warren DeMontague May 2013 #14

Sure is, but who was inspired by this mosaic and what did he paint as a result? CTyankee May 2013 #15

You got me there. Warren DeMontague May 2013 #16

Let me think. Klimt? Warren DeMontague May 2013 #17

that was fast! Klimt is right...which work of his? CTyankee May 2013 #18

To go any further I would have to cheat. Warren DeMontague May 2013 #19

It made a huge impression on Klimt. A major impact in the world of art, IMO... CTyankee May 2013 #20

A lot of Klimt's stuff looks like that, for sure. Warren DeMontague May 2013 #22

Here is the one that was a direct result... CTyankee May 2013 #25

It's Klimt's Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I pinboy3niner May 2013 #24

You can see this if you come to NYC at the Neue Galerie. CTyankee May 2013 #32

I saw the Rubens in the Cathedral of Our Lady in Antwerp last October... CTyankee May 2013 #23

#2: Andrea Mantegna - Lamentation of Christ (aka Dead Christ or Lamentation over the Dead Christ) pinboy3niner May 2013 #26

try a century later than Mantegna... CTyankee May 2013 #27

Ah, thanks. Mantegna inspired The Dead Christ (1582) by Annibale Carracci. pinboy3niner May 2013 #29

good for you, Pinboy! You did your "homework." CTyankee May 2013 #30

#1 HINT: Inspired by a crucifix in a chapel for his later painting, this artist CTyankee May 2013 #28

I can't remember his name... jberryhill May 2013 #31

You may be confusing the school CTyankee is thinking of... pinboy3niner May 2013 #34

Bush? He flunked out of this one jberryhill May 2013 #45

#1 remains to be guessed. Another hint: This "school" was in a coastal section of France CTyankee May 2013 #33

#1 is The Crucifix of Trémalo, Pont-Aven, an anonymous wood sculpture that inspired Gaugin pinboy3niner May 2013 #35

I guess my hint helped! CTyankee May 2013 #38

Even with that, this was a tough one! pinboy3niner May 2013 #39
