“In earliest times painting was magical; it was the key to the invisible. In those days the value of a work lay in its powers of conjuration, a power that talent alone could not achieve. Like the shaman, the sibyl and the wizard, the painter had to make himself humble, so that he could share in the manifestation of spirits and forms.” — Alice Rahon, 1951, Exhibition catalogue, Willard Gallery, New York, 1951 Alice Rahon (née Alice Marie Yvonne Philippot) was born in Chenecey-Buillon, France, on June 8, 1904. After publishing three volumes of poetry, she turned to the visual arts at the age of thirty-six and spent her mature years working almost exclusively as a painter. Rahon died in Mexico City in 1987, a naturalized citizen of Mexico Read more: 📘 https://www.gallerywendinorris.com/artists-collection/alice-rahon 🏛 @gallerywendinorris Her Majesty and the Moon, 1956 Alice Rahon #gallerywendinorris #alicerahon #womenartists #femaleartist #surrealism #magicrealism #remediosvaro #leonoracarrington #cats #catsofinstagram

🌇 Art history loves milestones that mark the beginnings of new genres, and this is one of the strongest ones. Today we present the painting that started Impressionism—Impression, Sunrise. It became legendary when first shown at what would become known as the "Exhibition of the Impressionists" in Paris in April 1874. It depicts the port of Le Havre, Monet's hometown. The artist claimed that he titled the painting Impression, Sunrise due to his hazy painting style in his depiction of the subject: "They asked me for a title for the catalogue, it couldn't really be taken for a view of Le Havre, and I said: 'Put Impression.'" 📘 more: 📲 Download the app for FREE 🔗 LINK IN BIO 🏛 @museemarmottanmonet_ collection Impression, Sunrise by Claude Monet 1872 a detail #museemarmottanmonet #claudemonet #monet #impressionism #art #arthistory #paintingoftheday #arteducation #artmuseum #artinspiration #artlover #dailyart #mood

🏞 #meditativeart Painted in 1945, Mill Pond is one Maxfield Parrish’s of most commercially successful landscapes and among the most recognizable paintings in the artist’s oeuvre. ‘The most successful pictures seem to be created around a structure of some kind that is immediately grasped at a glance...The thing that I am really sure of is that a successful picture must have strength and simplicity that catch the attention and is comprehended at a glance.’ 📘 @sothebys 🏛 private collection MILL POND by Maxfield Parrish 1945 Oil on Masonite #maxfieldparrish #landscapepainting #nature #americanart

☀️ Signac painted Cassis, Cap Lombard, Opus 196 in 1889 when he was visiting Cassis, a small fishing village in the region of Marseilles on the coast of southern France. He was highly enthusiastic about the atmosphere and light in the village and made five paintings there, of which this is one. In a letter to Vincent van Gogh, dated 12 April 1889, Signac wrote, "white, blue, orange, harmonically dispersed in pretty undulations. All around mountains with rhythmic curves."

🎶 Portrait of Marian Anderson depicts the celebrated opera singer and civil rights activist, who after being denied the opportunity to sing to an integrated audience at Constitution Hall in 1939, went on to perform that same year on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in front of 75,000 people and an international radio audience of millions. While many photographs and paintings of Anderson portrayed her with a serious demeanor, her expression in Douglas’ painting conveys warmth and friendliness. 📘 @diadetroit 🏛 Wilson A. and Deborah F.

✨ I love Sargent's works! This was an American artist who had an exquisite lightness in depicting not only royalty and society, but people in general. Indeed, the artist became one of the most sought–after portraitists of the late Victorian era, but he eventually became exasperated by the whim and vanities of prominent sitters. By 1909 he had abandoned conventional portraiture to experiment with more imaginary fields. Here, we see Sargent's niece, Rose-Marie Ormond.

✨ Agnolo Bronzino was an Italian Mannerist painter from Florence. He was also the artist of the powerful Medici family, who ruled Florence at the time. Today we present the portrait of the little Bianca, Bia, who was the daughter of Cosimo, born before his marriage in 1539. In 1560, Francesco Maria II della Rovere’s ambassador to Tuscany, Simone Fortuna wrote in a letter that Cosimo “in his first years as duke, had, by a noblewoman of Florence, a girl who was baptized in the name of His Illustrious Excellence, and called Bia. And the Lady Duchess, finding her in her home, was raising the girl lovingly, as she was born to her husband before she became his wife.” Read more: 📘 Link in Bio 🔗 🏛 @uffizigalleries collection Bia de’ Medici by Agnolo Bronzino 1542-1545 #uffizigallery #florence #agnolobronzino #mannerism #renaissance #medici #artgallery #museum #art #arthistory #artoftheday #paintingoftheday #arteducation #artmuseum #artinspiration #artlover #dailyart #instamood #mood

🦁✨ Babylon’s monumental Ishtar Gate is undoubtedly among the most impressive monuments erected during the reign of King Nebuchadnezzar; twelve metres high and decorated with glazed bricks, it marked the beginning of the long processional avenue that led to the temple located in the center of the city. (...) The Ishtar Gate featured dragons and bulls, symbols of the god Marduk or the weather-god Adad; the towers along the approach road were decorated with lions, symbols of the goddess Ishtar.
