And Now for Some Art - Part III

The following portraits were done by the artist Albert Lynch (1851-1912) who was born in Lima, Peru but spend most of his years in France. These pictures definitely evoke the spirit of La Belle Epoch.


Huile - Why does this lady remind me of Etta Place (of Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid fame)?

And Now for Some Art - Part II

Here's some more artwork of a more military nature nature. And yes, it combines three of my favorite things: The West, Horses and The Army.

Charles Schreyvogel (January 4, 1861-January 27, 1912) was a Western illustrator, probably not as well known today as Charles Russel and Frederick Remington although he was their contemporary. Ironically, he was born and raised in New York City and did most of his work there. His subject matter tended to be Indian Wars-related of a heroic nature.

While perhaps the subject matter is somewhat dated by today's standards, it still goes along way to depict two cultures in conflict and the fact that the West was a rough place and death ever-present, far removed from many of the policy-makers who set things in motion.

OK, I've always liked equestrian-themed artwork. Here's one by an illustrator named Edmund Havell who worked during the mid to later 19th Century.
