Delphin Enjolras - Nu etendu au Bouquet de Roses by Gandalf's Gallery Via Flickr: Delphin Enjolras (Coucouron, May 13, 1865 - Toulouse, 1945) was a French academic painter. Enjolras painted mainly landscapes in his early career; later it became evident that his love was for painting women. He changed genres, focusing mainly on the portraiture of elegant young women by either lamplight or black lighting. He would become an excellent painter of nudes, and many of his later works, such as "La Sieste" are of an erotic and sensual nature.

Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky - The Ninth Wave [1850] by Gandalf's Gallery Via Flickr: The painting depicts a sea after a night storm and people facing death attempting to save themselves by clinging to debris from a wrecked ship. The painting has warm tones in which the sea appears to be not so menacing and giving a chance for the people to survive. This painting is often called "the most beautiful painting in Russia.” Both English and Russian titles refer to the nautical tradition that waves grow larger and larger in a series up to the largest wave, the ninth (or tenth) wave, at which point the series starts again.

Charles Courtney Curran - Lotus Lilies [1888] by Gandalf's Gallery Via Flickr: The Terra Museum of American Art was an art museum founded by Chicago businessman Daniel J. Terra in Evanston, Illinois in 1980. The museum was relocated to Chicago in 1987. During its tenure, the museum presented more than 200 exhibitions on American art and provided related programs and events for children, teachers, families, general adult audiences, and scholars. The museum closed on October 31, 2004 after 24 years of operation. The works formerly displayed at the museum continue to be owned by the Terra Foundation for American Art, and the Foundation continues to expand the collection. A selection of Terra Foundation paintings remains on long-term loan to the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Art Institute also houses the Foundation’s collection of works on paper. The Foundation also makes significant loans to institutions and exhibitions worldwide. [Terra Museum of American Art, Chicago - Oil on canvas, 45.7 x 81.3 cm]

Grant Wood - The Birthplace of Herbert Hoover, West Branch, Iowa [1931] by Gandalf's Gallery Via Flickr: Grant Wood captured the essence of small town mid-America in his 1931 Birthplace of Herbert Hoover. Working in autumnal tones with imaginative patterns precisely depicted, the Iowa artist painted the birthplace of his state's most famous native son. The house where Hoover was born was actually only the rear portion of the larger building that spreads across the vast lawn in the middle ground of the painting. The small figure pointing to the house like a tour guide comes down through art history as a device to draw viewers' attention to what is important in a landscape. In 19th-century American prints and paintings, similar figures were often used to point out a beautiful view or important site, such as Niagara Falls. Wood would use a larger variation of such a character in Parson Weems' Fable (1939) where the myth-making cleric in the foreground points to the father of Washington, young George, and the mutilated cherry tree.
