Europe art

Cole visited Italy in 1831 and made a small pencil sketch of this vista of Florence shortly before sunset. In his New York studio six years later, he transformed the drawing into this large oil painting, adding picturesque humans and goats to the foreground. Exhibiting View of Florence alongside a painting of the Catskill Mountains in New York in 1837, Cole set out to prove that he had mastered the very different landscapes of the Old and New Worlds.

No visit to Paris is complete without exploring the Louvre Museum. It's the largest museum of art in the world, and has an unmatched collection of over 35,000 artefacts in over 400 rooms! Given its vast art collection and size, you'll need a few days to see everything inside the Louvre. For those with limited time, we recommend spending a day to thoroughly see the Louvre highlights including the Mona Lisa.

I'm interested in how painters represent themselves in self-portraits. What expression and pose do they choose? Do they look at or past the viewer? What colors stand out? What is in the background? How do styles change over time? Here are some examples that are intriguing to me: Leonardo Da Vinci (1512) Judith Leyster (1630) Rembrandt van Rijn (1661) Eugene Delacroix (1837) Claude Monet (1884) VIncent Van Gogh (1889) Pablo Picasso (1907)
