Ingres had a good eye, didn't he? Normally we see beautiful women, half naked or dressed in elaborate court dresses. But he apparently understood male anatomy as well :)
Hi Andrew. I love reading and being educated by you on all the artwork. I think that out of eveything so far, I love the Cupid/Psyche paintings the best. I guess I like love stories for some reason, since love has passed me by! I need a little dose of Cupid myself. I also think your piano stool turned out beautifully. I did a search on ebay and there was a grand piano in Gadsden for $500, 80 miles away. But like you said, we need eight men to move them, alhough, like you, I'd love to have one sitting in my back Empire room just to look at. I also appreciate your leaving comments on my blog. I have few followers so I don't get much feedback, but I'm glad I'm on here just so I can meet people like you who inspire me to keep going. Marshel ( bamaplanter)
Hi Hels Ingres had a very good eye he is one of my favorite artist. My best friend own a male nude drawing by Ingres! Hi Marshel I'm glad you like the Cupid & Psyche post. It's never too late for love. If I ever found one in Mobile for that price I would buy it but people down here want $5,000 plus for one that's not in good condition. Keep posting and people will come to your blog.
I'm a antique dealer and Historical Folk artist. I created this blog to document and highlight my artwork along with my day to day life as a Artist, Antique dealer and collector. My favorite two periods in history are France's Ancien Régime, the time of French Queen Marie Antoinette 1770-1789 and the antebellum period of the American South 1830-1860. Both of theses periods ended tragically with war. I intend to explore furniture, architecture, decorative arts, culture, history, fashion and the people that made up these two fascinating periods in time. I recently moved back to my roots of Mobile, Alabama after living away for 17 years. Come and explore the restoration of my turn-of-the century Art's and crafts bungalow into a Antebellum show place.
