Interesting juxtaposition Tommo! Personally I think Ucello was the more skilful painter but Picasso was the better draftsman.

John Martin, and not just because he lived round the corner from me Wink

His pictures have so much drama in them, you can feel excited each new time you see them.



But you really need to see it six feet wide on the gallery wall to get the proper impact Sad



Three cheers for citing John Martin's work which, I believe, is nowhere near as widely celebrated as it should be. Biblical epics seemed to be what turned him on the most; I remember seeing the triptych of the flood in an exhibition at Yale a few years ago and this was thought to be possibly the only occasion on which all three (each of which have different owners) had ever been shown together. A younger contemporary of Turner (who may just have been as nervously wary of him as Liszt is said to have been of Alkan a generation later), Martin excelled in vast works such as the above, the best of which require considerable time fully to absorb, since the intricate detail is often of a complexity that rivals - though is very different from - that of the mature Turner.

Best,

Alistair

It's nice to hear another Martin supporter because I think he's greatly unappreciated -- virtually unknown, it ofgften seems!

The Laing in Newcastle has a large John Martin collection (I think maybe the largest in the world). When I worked in town, I would spend wet lunch hours sitting in front of one or another of them, just absorbing it.

A few years ago I visited the Tate (actually to see a Blake exhibition) and as I entered one of the galleries I saw a painting on the far wall (which I had never seen in my life before) and said to my companion, "John Martin". When we got closer, it was indeed by John Martin. That moment was the only time in my life I have correctly identified an artist like that. That's how strong his style is Smiley

I met a descendent of Vigee-Lebrun at a national gallery talk about the self portrait of vigee-lebrun, she works in art history and is married to an opera singer, very radio 3 Smiley

The memoirs of vigee are cool, and a few paintings by her at the wallace,she used to live around the corner,yer know, for a short time.

A painting exists, that they say is me, by her, unsure though, tis in dispute !

Oh my, what a LOVELY thread!

Here're my contributions:

Fomenko:



Friedrich:



And some miscellaneous stuff I have about my hard disk




The above-one reminds me of some story about a clarinetist who claimed the ability to communicate the whole world through his clarinet, when pressed, performed a quick rectal insertion and declared himself to be on the inside. (I might have just made that up).
