Willow Bridge and Water Wheel (Uji Bridge) right of a pair, second half 16th century, Unknown Japanese, 52 3/4 x 126 7/8 in. (133.99 x 322.26 cm) (image)56 1/4 x 132 3/16 in. (142.88 x 335.76 cm) (overall, unfolded), Ink, color, gold, and silver on paper, Japan, 16th century, Clouds and mistrendered variously in gold foil, gold paint, powdered gold, and cut goldhave just parted, revealing the great span of a golden bridge but still masking its ends. At left a waterwheel turns in the river, its waves painted in silver (now tarnished to lustrous gray). Crossing this otherworldly bridge, one experiences a subtle seasonal change: the leaves of the twisting silver willows shift from the delicate leaves of mid-spring to mature leaves of late summer. The screens allude to the famous bridge over the Uji River near Kyoto, which inspired Japanese poets soon after it was built in the 600s. Paintings of the Uji Bridge decorated palaces by the 900s and remained popular for the next thousand years

Gauguin, Paul, Ia Orana Maria, I greet you, Maria, Maria with child and woman with folded hands, cardboard - stamped, Maria as a black woman stands with a large child on her shoulder in a landscape on Tahiti. In the background stands a woman with folded hands. In this unique print the artist used the monotype technique, in which he indicated the contours of the representation on a glass or metal plate with a brush and blue watercolour and coloured in a few areas with light red and light green. Before the paint had dried he made a print and possibly added some colour accents with the brush on the print. This seems to be the case with the red on the dress and the black area on the ground next to Maria., print, prent, prints, prenten, height 340 mm, width 180 mm, 1848 - 1903-05-08, print maker, prentmaker, 1894 - 1894, fourth quarter 19th century, vier kwart 19e eeuw, paper, papier, monotype, brush, schilder, kleurdruk

Self-Portrait at Spurveskjul 1911 Vilhelm Hammershøi This is one of a group of self-portraits that Hammershøi painted in 1911 while staying at Spurveskjul (Sparrows Hideaway), his rented summer home near Copenhagen. By showing his left hand raised as if painting, the right-handed artist makes plain that he created his self-portrait by observing his reflection in a mirror. The sunlit door and window are two of the signature motifs that defined Hammershøis celebrated interior scenes. The reworked contours of the figure and the mauve underpaint visible in the face attest to the experimental spirit and bold handling that he cultivated in his late self-portraits..
