Whilst Gustav #klimt is famed for his decadent #goldenphase era, he is equally renowned for his under-stated, tranquil landscapes.
‘Litzlberg am Attersee’ (1915) is a perfect example, on display at the #leopoldmuseum #Vienna #Austria

Forget the Wuthering Heights! There’s stuff going on in my new series for Sky Arts that would make Heathcliff’s hair fall out! As Margot Robbie said: ‘Waldemar showed us the cliff. The rest of us must follow him over it’.

#CarlGustafTessin” (1740) by #FrancoisBoucher, epitomizes the #Rococo art movement, noted for its ornamental and decorative qualities. The intricate rendering of textures, from the shimmering fabric of Tessin’s robe to the delicate lace of his cuffs, his wig with curls @natmus-sweden.bsky.social

The ‘Taking of #Christ’ (1602) by #baroque artist #Caravaggio
The moment when Christ is betrayed by Judas
the cloak of fleeing apostle (St John) perfectly encapsulates this moment
The soldiers polished metal arm
serves as a mirror of self-reflection and examination of conscience #artoftheday

Details from Venus, Mars and the Forge of Vulcan - #LucaGiordano c.1660

A story which became popular in art sees Venus,goddess of love,married to Vulcan,the god of fire, which was often seen as mismatched. However, Venus has a torrid affair with Mars, the god of war.
