You got the St. Jerome hints in that painting I'll bet... CTyankee Mar 2013 #10

That detail certainly got my attention pinboy3niner Mar 2013 #12

Me, neither. I benefit from those who grew up in Roman Catholicism and knew the saints and CTyankee Mar 2013 #14

The red hat on the bench behind Jerome was another one... CTyankee Mar 2013 #19

Lion? that animal in the right side background? dixiegrrrrl Mar 2013 #34

Interesting! But I think in this painting it had to do with the lion and the thorn that St.Jerome CTyankee Mar 2013 #35

#1 looks very Escher to me --on edit-- oops ... I guess Escher studied da Messina... Hekate Mar 2013 #5

Scuba said the same thing...interesting. As you can see above it's really Early Renaissance. CTyankee Mar 2013 #9

#2 looks Gauguinish. nt longship Mar 2013 #8

um, kinda, but... CTyankee Mar 2013 #11

A couple of them look like Van Gogh? kentuck Mar 2013 #13

#2, Pierre Bonnard IcyPeas Mar 2013 #20

Ah yes...how nice it is...a lovely Bonnard..was it the face of his wife in the lower right? CTyankee Mar 2013 #23

Looked like Van Gogh's little room with the bed painting. kentuck Mar 2013 #25

that shade of yellow... CTyankee Mar 2013 #27

The second one has got to be Matisse. applegrove Mar 2013 #26

no, it is Bonnard...those impressionists, they "did" windows...but so did Matisse! CTyankee Mar 2013 #28

I would guess #6 is from a Dutch painter. Probably 17th century? RZM Mar 2013 #31

good guess... CTyankee Mar 2013 #38

last one reminds me of... William Hogarth dixiegrrrrl Mar 2013 #33

No Hogarth here... CTyankee Mar 2013 #39

Yes, it is lovely isn't it? I love the pose and the window...just a wonderful view... CTyankee Mar 2013 #49

The prospect of her out in the cold, looking back inside... countryjake Mar 2013 #51

It is that look, that disengagement or avoidance of the woman's real experience that caught me. CTyankee Mar 2013 #53

Is #4 Monet? #3 seems American to me ... kwassa Mar 2013 #47

#4 is Monet and you are correct that #3 is by an American artist...good for you! CTyankee Mar 2013 #50

Yep, I put up the answers earlier today...Hassam it is...guess you didn't see it... CTyankee Mar 2013 #66

I was looking at works by American impressionists pinboy3niner Mar 2013 #68

I feel better. I was guessing Hassam, too ... kwassa Mar 2013 #69

I like Hassam. I've read some critics who don't. I think one of them was John Updike, who CTyankee Mar 2013 #70
