The Passion of Creation
Primarily paintings, but also sculptures, weaponry, fashion, and anything else artistic Most artworks range from the Renaissance period to the Impressionist movement but contemporary artworks are included My icon is "Portrait of a Venetian Lady" by Eugene de Blaas, the heading is "Starry Night Over the Rhone" by Vincent van Gogh, and the URL is a reference to an Oscar Wilde quote Any history or analysis of an artwork included with an original posting likely comes from the institute the work is located in, or from a verifiable online source. If you have any questions about an artwork feel free to ask, I'm happy to help :)
