Here is a new game called 'What's this artwork ?" (It's based on Neeraman's "What's the City")

All you do is post a photo of a more or less famous artwork (painting, sculpture,...) not a portrait of your mother in law tending the sick buffalo

Clues can be given or not. If no-one guess, you can post a photo of another artwork by the same artist.

Here is the first one.

Sorry this pic is a tad small but that the biggest I found on Goggle.

Reason for edit: add a rule and apologize for the small pic.

Do we have to guess the artist and the title ?

What about the date and where the painting (artwork) is at currently ?

I could really get into this thread if the picture was a bit bigger.

Just for fun I will say :- Rupert Bunny (Australian 1864 - 1947) and the picture hangs in the National Gallery of Victoria

The artist will do. Otherwise I guess it's too difficult (any imput appreciated)

A French painter born in 1780. This oil on canvas was painted in 1808 and it hangs in the Louvre.

Excellent. The artist and the title of the painting. Your turn

Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres

Next one, since the previous one was correct....

The painter was a woman. Should be easy.

Pure luck, I stumbled upon this and immediately saw the similarities in style and background.

Tamara de Lempicka

I am fascinated by this one. The Louvre's website had it featured a while ago and it could be looked at using a virtual magnifying glass. Amazing detail.

That's "The Milkmaid" painted by Johannes Vermeer between 1658-1660. Rijksmuseum - Amsterdam

Tony: Correct and well done ! (Tamara de Limpicka's painting)

Tony2: I feel frustrated since I can't recall the name of the painting and painter.....

But, I will soon come with an answer

Jan van Eyck, a Dutch painter, painted 'your' painting around 1435 and is called: "Madonna of Chancellor Rolin"

Jan van Eyck is even more famous for this painting:

The Arnolfini Portrait
