Looks Like Leonardo da Vinci

 

OMG.  This is uncanny.  I was playing my game and for some reason thought she looked like something from Leonardo.  But seeing her next to Mona, they look strangely similar, down to the enigmatic smile.

Leonardo da Vinci (1452 – 1519), Italian.

My woman is sitting in front of this fountain before the Pantheon in Rome.

Looks Like Jackson Pollock

This is a photograph of the fireworks from the Venice Redentore.

If Pollock painted on a black canvas.  Maybe.


Paul Jackson Pollock (1912 – 1956) American.

Looks Like Caravaggio

This is rotting fruit photographed in my dining room.

This is the famous Caravaggio still life that establishes still life as a genre.  My fruit is also ready to throw away, though it needs some grapes.

Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (29 September 1571 – 18 July 1610) Milanese.

Looks Like Canaletto

This is the Grand Canal in Venice.

Giovanni Antonio Canaletto (1697 - 1768) was most famous for his outdoor paintings of Venice, though he certainly painted other cities.  His paintings don't show any construction cranes, but in the modern world we would have to Photoshop them out.  The feeling of boats everywhere amid elegant palaces with rounded or pointed windows you can capture with your camera.  Perhaps some of the palazzi are the same.

Giovanni Antonio Canal (28 October 1697 – 19 April 1768) better known as Canaletto, Venetian.

Looks Like Gustav Klimt

My picture was taken in London in December and modified in Picasa.

I can't decide which Klimt painting I like best.   The comparison is based on the tiny bits of bright colors that make up any Klimt painting.

 Gustav Klimt (July 14, 1862– February 6, 1918) Austrian.

Looks Like Edward Hopper

In this case the association to Hopper preceded the photo. The view out my hotel window in San Francisco just reminded me of the painting.

 Edward Hopper (July 22, 1882 – May 15, 1967)  American.

Looks Like Mary Cassatt

 
This picture was taken in the coffee shop at the Tate Modern in London.  I tried very hard to get it to come out without appearing conspicuous.  This is the best I could do.

With Mary it is always the mother who cares for the baby, but his loving expression could not be more perfect. In this picture the association to Cassatt came long after I had taken the picture, and is based entirely on the subject matter.

 Mary Stevenson Cassatt (1844 – 1926) American.
