Ferdinand VI as Prince- Oil on canvas, 144 x 116 cm Museo del Prado, Madrid

RANC, Jean

French painter (b. 1674, Montpellier, d. 1735, Madrid)

The Montpellier-born artist developed in Madrid a successful, life-long career as a portrait painter. Ranc's training as a portrait painter is certainly apparent in the delicate treatment of the faces of his subjects and, more so, in the exquisitely rendered fabrics. He correctly interpreted the portraits of Philip V and members of his family such as Prince Ferdinand.

A Studio in the Batignolles Quarter 1870 Oil on canvas, 204 x 274 cm Musée d'Orsay, Paris

FANTIN-LATOUR, Henri

French painter (b. 1836, Grenoble, d. 1904, Orne)

In this large painting, exhibited at the 1870 Salon, artists and writers are grouped around Manet, leader of the so-called Batignolles school. The figure apparently sitting for his portrait is Zacharie Astruc, while the five men behind him are recognizable as (from the left) Renoir, Zola, Edmond Maître, Bazille, and Monet. The man behind Manet is Otto Scholderer. The spherical vase was made by Laurent Bouvier (1840-1901), one of the earliest Japanese-influenced potters in Paris. It was included in the painting as a symbol of the interest that the most modern artists were now taking in Japanese art, alongside with a statue of the Greek goddess Minerva, standing for reason and truth.

Surely He Will Come? 1879 Oil on canvas, 56 x 45 cm Hirschsprung Collection, Copenhagen

DALSGAARD, Christen

(b. 1824, Skive, Jutland, d. 1907, Sorø)

The picture features a young woman standing in an open doorway looking off to one side. One foot is on the door frame, and one foot is on the ground outside. The interior is dark and shadowed. The outside is a sunlit agrarian landscape. The title of the painting refers to her inner dialogue.

The painting is typical of Dalsgaard's style.

На картине изображена молодая женщина, стоящая в открытом дверном проеме и смотрящая в сторону. Одна нога стоит на дверном проеме, а другая — на земле снаружи. Внутри темно и затенено. Снаружи — залитый солнцем аграрный пейзаж. Название картины отсылает к ее внутреннему диалогу. Картина типична для стиля Дальсгаард.

KAUFFMANN, Angelica

Swiss painter (b. 1741, Chur, d. 1807, Roma)

This painting was a study from the model, without hands, for a full-length portrait. The sitter, Prince Stanislaus Poniatowski (1754-1833) was the nephew of the last King of Poland, Stanislaus Augustus (1732-1798) and son of Casimir, the King's older brother (1721-1800). The portrait was executed in Rome, where Angelica Kaufmann settled in 1782 and had a great reputation as a portrait painter of the aristocracy.
