Details Competition 1079


I was not able to identify this detail from last week's Competition. It looks as if it might be a Pissarro, but it defeated my attempts to find it.

P.S. It was a bit disappointing not to learn how many correct entries there were for the Christmas Competition. I think the Commentary by Jenny Gilbert hints that it will have to be made more difficult for the 2012 Competition.

This was revealed to be "The Fields" by Alfred Sisley.

Details 1076


Last week's detail looked very familiar, but proved not to be so. It was a bit of a challenge to find the artist who came from an unexpected quarter - a person best known for his three dimensional work - Auguste Rodin. It is an unusual subject, too: A Centaur carrying off a Young Man.
