Hello Roger,

I agree with Pat, in that it is mainly beauty that is all about in art. This is something that with very few exceptions many otherwise great artists of the 20th century seemed to forget for the most part.

The neo Classicists' works, in particular Frederick Leighton's paintings, have been to me a source of deep pleasure and great delight to view in the past. I have in my PC a huge collection of their works. I also used to collect Bouguereau's most beautiful paintings; I know he is classified as an Academic artist, but to me at least, he and Frederick Leighton were most similar both in style and taste.

What a difficult task to choose a favorite work by F. Leighton! Other than
Flaming June I can only think of two or three strong candidates more, but perhaps my best favorite is his Music Lesson of 1877.

Frederick Leighton - Music Lesson (oil on canvas, 1887)

Both beauty and sensibility

Roger and friends, another favorite of mine that I hope you like (you may click on the image to enlarge it).
Miguel
P. S. There are many other paintings by this great artist that I similarly love; I will have to check them out and will probably be back soon with a few more favorites by him.

William Bouguereau - Au Bord du Ruisseau (oil on canvas, 1875)

Miguel,

These are wonderful. I thought the first one beautiful, but, the Bouguereau was exquisite.

So delicately painted.

Thank you, this image is new to me.

Roger
