Brueghel the elder, Pieter: "Dutch proverbs", 1559
Berlin, Gemäldegalerie
Choose resolution: 1024x768 - 1280x800
Parallelisms are commonly established between Bosch and Brueghel, but the truth is that the differences are abysmal. Works by Bruegel (as we can see in works as " The Dutch Proverbs ") are full of irony and even a love for the rural life that seems to anticipate the Dutch landscape painting of the next century

This is one of the most famous versions of the numerous views that Paul Cézanne painted of the Mount Sainte-Victoire in the outskirts of Aix-en-Provence. This work is "cubist before the cubism": the triangular mountain and the prairie elements -geographic or edificatory- acquire volume thanks not to the perspective, but to the superposition of chromatic planes

Church, Frederick Edwin: "The Icebergs", 1861
Dallas Museum of Art
Choose resolution: 1024x768 - 1280x800
The icy death. Beautiful and exuberant at first glance, this masterwork is a sinister and terrible romantic document, showing the remains of a shipwreck, where it really doesn't matter if the sailors have survived or not: the merciless icebergs will soon kill them if the violence of the accident has not done it before

Church, Frederick Edwin: "Cotopaxi", 1855
Smithsonian Museum
Choose resolution: 1024x768 - 1280x800 - 1440x900
Church represents the culmination of the Hudson River School : the love for the landscape of Cole, the romantic lyricism of Durand, and the grandiloquence of Bierstadt, but braver and technically more gifted than anyone with them.

Cole is known as the founder of the Hudson River School. Born in Britain , his family emigrates to America when he was only 17 years old, so we can consider him a totally American painter. Cole discovers the beauty of the Hudson River in 1825, when emigrating to New York , and begins to create his first outdoors sketches

Constable (1776-1837) is, with William Turner, the great figure of the English romanticism. Unlike his contemporary, he never left England, and he devoted all his time to represent the life and landscapes of his loved England. This self-imposed limitation did not prevent him from develop a highly personal style.
