Self Directed Project: Painting For Inspiration

Sunday 18 March 2012

Further National Gallery Research

Favoured images :

Joseph Wright 'of Derby', An Experiment on a Bird in the Air Pump (1768)

Degas, Beach Scene (1869-70)

Rubens, Samson and Delilah (1609-10)
Van Eyck, The Arnolfini Portrait (1434)


Delaroche, the Execution of Lady Jane Grey (1833)

These are the images I favoured from the National Gallery. I very much want to remake an image that has a strong sense of story and an interesting background. I wish to find one that has great deal of symbolism as well as I feel that this can be transferred across to any period in which I chose to set it.
