Henri de Braekeleer
(1840 – 1888)
Henri Jean Augustin de Braekeleer was a Belgian painter. He was born and died in Antwerp. He was trained in drawing by his father Ferdinand de Braekeleer, a well-known genre painter, and his uncle Jan August Hendrik Leys. Braekeleer entered the Royal Academy of Fine Arts (Antwerp) in 1854. Although he remained a student there until 1861, he publicly exhibited his paintings for the first time in 1858, when Reaper and Washerwoman (locations unknown) were shown at the Antwerp Salon. In 1863, he went to Germany and, in 1864, to the Netherlands, studying works by 16th- and 17th-century painters in both countries. The influence of Johannes Vermeer was especially important, seen in one of de Braekeleer's most characteristic subjects: a single person absorbed in a quiet activity, shown in an interior lit by a window.

François Marius Granet was a French painter, born on 17 December 1775 in Aix-en-Provence; his father was a small builder. As a boy his strong desires led his parents to place him, after some preliminary teaching from a passing Italian artist, in a free school of art directed by M. Constantin, a landscape painter of some reputation. In 1793, Granet followed the volunteers of Aix to the siege of Toulon, where he obtained employment as a decorator in the arsenal.

Jan Geeraerts was a Belgian painter. He was a student at the Academy of Antwerp. He mainly painted interiors of churches and picturesque old buildings. He also painted genre scenes and religious subjects. The church interior was a genre that was practiced on a regular basis only by few other artists in Belgium: Jules-Victor Genisson, Joseph-Chrétien Nicolié, André-Joseph Minguet, Bernard Neyt and Joseph Maswiens. His church interiors are often those of Antwerp churches. But there is also a painting of the interior of the Nieuwe Kerk in Delft with a view of the mausoleum of Willem the Silent. He participated in the Salons in Antwerp, Brussels and Ghent. These were large group exhibitions of living artists, at the time about the only opportunities for a visual artist to present himself to a wide audience.

Friedrich Eduard Meyerhei was a German painter. He received his first training from his father, Karl Friedrich Meyerheim (1780-1837), a decorative painter. After further studies with the architect and painter Johann Adam Breysig, he went to Berlin in 1830 and enrolled at the Prussian Academy of Art. His teachers there were Eduard Daege and Johann Gottfried Niedlich.
After graduating, he wandered about with his friend, the future Prussian court architect Heinrich Strack, and produced numerous architectural drawings, primarily of churches and older Backsteingotik brick buildings. His first original work, the Schützenfest westfälischer Bauern (Westphalian Peasants Hunting Party) was painted in 1836 and bought by Joachim Heinrich Wilhelm Wagener, the Swedish-Norwegian Consul, from whose estate it entered the National Gallery (Berlin).
Under the influence of the Düsseldorf school of painting, he spent the years 1833-1841 producing works in the Romantic genre style. After that, he devoted himself exclusively to portrayals of bourgeois and peasant life, focusing on Westphalia, Thuringia, and Hesse. His work is characterized by enamel-like coloring. By 1855, he was a Regius Professor and a member of the Academies in Berlin, Dresden and Munich.
In 1836, he married Karoline Drake, the sister of sculptor Friedrich Drake. In 1870, he was afflicted by a debilitating nervous disorder that periodically prevented him from painting and eventually led to his death.

She is notable for recording women's contributions to World War II on the United Kingdom home front, particularly the work of the Women's Land Army. She was the only woman working for the War Artists' Advisory Committee on a full-time salaried basis. Dunbar had a deep devotion to nature and a particular affection for the landscape of Kent. Dunbar was modest regarding her achievements and outside of the post-war mainstream art world which has led to some neglect of her work until recent years. She painted murals at Brockley County Secondary School, and was a member of the Society of Mural Painters. After the war she painted portraits, allegorical pictures and especially landscapes. She attempted a return to mural painting in 1958 with a commission at Bletchley Park Teacher Training College, but was unable to fulfil the original specification.

This is a copy of the original thread in the Art Lovers group.
We did this to have extra disk space to upload pictures to the group.
Every month I choose a theme and try to post as many different artists as there are days. (with the exception of last summer when I dedicated two whole months to one artist: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
I won't reveal at first what the theme is so the first days it's a bit of a guessing game. But I promise it will be not so difficult this month. More difficult will be for me to choose which painting to post, because as always I’ve selected too many!
You are welcome to comment on the pictures posted, or on other people's comments, you can say whatever you want (keeping with the rules of the group of course).
The only rule to this thread is that the person running this thread can post a picture here.
