La Belle Époque Revival

"La Belle Époque" in French translates as "The Beautiful Era".

This was a period roughly from 1871 to 1914 centered in Paris.

Oil painting of both traditional and impressionist styles flourished together.

2014, a century later, my personal revival began.

Here are some of the artists I admire greatly,

though not all are from that period:

   *

   Frederic Leighton

   Giovanni Boldini

   William Adolphe Bouguereau

   Élisabeth Vigée LeBrun

   James Tissot

   Paul Helleu

   Alexandre Cabanel

   Lawrence Alma-Tadema

   John William Godward

   Jean-Léon Gérôme

   John White Alexander

   Frédéric Soulacroix

   *

While enjoying their work, I try to learn from them all.

Cheers,

Bradley
