more waterhouse reference, erin o'connor by nadav kander

thread on nadav kander here: http://www.thefashionspot.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25321&highlight=nadav+kander

ophelia by waterhouse, though kander could be imitating another version of ophelia as there are countless ophelia paintings by other artists, too

from www.achome.co.uk/

The various takes on ophelia are some of my favourite paintings, I remember one from the Louvre, Paris, that I saw just over 2 years ago, it was so serene it took my breath away.

Beautiful thread Tiffany, and great posts everyone!

A bit off topic... but I did a google search and the one I mean is 'La Jeune Martyre' by Paul Delaroche 1855.

very very beautiful thread!
I especially like free reintrepretations of paintings, more than explicit and litteral referring.
this is awesome:

[tiffany]

^ lol I am bound and determined to find some kind of match. This isn't a great likeness, but it reminds me of this painting (I forget the artist, it may have been Andrea del Sarto, but I can't recall with certainty Source: www.wga.hu/index1.html

 

[sweet marianne]

come to think of it, it may have been Albrecht Durer (but I'm still not sure) does anyone else know?

 

[manette]

this one reminds me of the paintings of Jesus washing the feet of Peter

[tate.org.uk]

 

[jml2]

that picture reminded me of Lady with an ermine (da vinci)

 

[jml2]

this editorial reminded me of Alma-Tadema paintings, with the marble and flowering shrubs and greek/roman ladies
