Let\u2019s start off with celestial glory, which is the name of this work by Michel Corneille\u2026\u00a0 Originally a much larger version of this was in the ceiling of a church called Val-de-Grace.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This beautiful picture by Camille Corot done in the 19th century is of Chartres Cathedral.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is the painting of the three graces\u2013 joy, elegance, and beauty, said to characterize the three daughters of Zeus. \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There are many paintings of ancient ruins, some real, some imagined.\u00a0 This one by Patel is imaginary\u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Hubert Robert in the 18th century was selected to paint the remains of Roman Gaul, including the famous aqueduct in the south of France,<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Because of the mixing together of Luke 7-8, Mary Magdalene was assumed to be the sinner woman of Luke 7, as well as the disciple in Luke 8.\u00a0 This association is false, but it didn\u2019t stop artists from connecting the two and so here is a painting of the penitent Mary Magdalene.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Below we have a rare OT scene painted, with Laban searching Jacob\u2019s baggage for his idols\u2026..<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is a portrait done by Toulose-Latrec\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Corot apparently enjoyed painting monks and nuns, and here is a monk in white reading, followed by a nun from a nunnery in full regalia.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There are some weird pictures in this museum, like this one of a monkey painting\u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And here is a study of hands\u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Bernardo Bellotto painted a gorgeous painting of Venice at the Rialto bridge\u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

But I prefer to end this exploration with the old reliable Impressionists\u2013 Pissarro, Sisley and Monet.\u00a0 First Pissarro..<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And now we will allow the first Impressionist, leave the last Impression\u2026\u00a0 First his painting of Ice on the Seine\u2026<\/p>\n
