Georges Seurat painted 'Sunday Afternoon at La Grande Jatte'.
The duchess of Alba was said to have been having an affair with Goya. In his painting of her Portrait of the Duchess of Alba1797, she is pictured wearing her funeral garb of the maja after the death of the duke, pointing down at goyas name in the dirt as well as wearing a ring on her finger with his face or initials on it (can't remember which). Also he was appointed spanish court painter so he also knew Carlos IV, Count Floridablanca, amongst many writers, philosophers, and other artists of his time.
There is a substantial tradition of American Impressionism from the turn of the 20th century with artists like Theodore Robinson, who developed a close relationship with Monet at Giverny. Most of the Americans who had absorbed the style in Paris returned to the Northeastern U.S., often working in colonies. Several of these were along Long Island Sound at Cos Cob and Old Lyme, Connecticut and Shinnecock in Eastern Long Island. Long Island also figured in the birth of the artist Manhattan Arts magazine describes as "the best Impressionist painter of our century," Patrick Antonelle. Appropriately, Antonelle was born as the resurgence of interest in Impressionism swept the American art scene in the 1950s, and he has spent his life as an artist dedicated to the Impressionist mission of catching the moment in light, directly on the canvas. His work is authentic Impressionism, using subtle tone to create depth and light play that both builds volume and makes the whole world equally insubstantial. His signature is his cityscapes of New York, its parks and buildings - he considered architecture as a career - but his structures shimmer with the same atomic identity as trees and leaves on the ground. Like the French Impressionists, he follows the changes in natural light, with the strongest contrasts among the seasons: luxuriant summers, golden autumns, winters that reveal the underlying design of nature and fresh, transforming springs. The mood created by his handling of light is calm and the tremendous discipline of his technique contains his radiant palette. [You might want to refer to http://www.sunflowerfineart.com to view images of Autumn, Central Park; Glory of Spring; Gramercy Park Summer, etc.] It is tempting to compare Antonelle's shimmering light with the 19h century pointillists and their small dots of pure color, but Georges Seurat, credited with the invention of pointillism, focuses on people with nature as a frame, whereas Antonelle's people are nearly lost in the natural world. Seurat's famous Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte and Antonelle's Gapstow Bridge dramatically illustrate the difference as Seurat's figures take center stage and Antonelle's painting is much closer to the Rousseauvian romantic image of humankind as a small player within nature. Steeped in New York's artistic education at the School of Visual Arts, the Brooklyn Museum Art School and the Art Students League, Antonelle goes back to the time of French Impressionism as well as its technique when he places New York's Flatiron Building in 1906 in Nocturnal New York or fills Fifth Avenue with horse drawn buggies and vintage cars in Winter on Fifth Avenue. Most of his images, though, are timeless and more concerned with the changes of the natural world than those man has imposed. The small figures in his landscapes could be anytime, although he has placed himself inside some of his creations. The following he commands includes, suitably, former New York mayors Edward Koch and Rudolph Giuliani, Frank Sinatra, Liza Minelli, Leonard Bernstein and Ivana Trump. Corporations from The New York Stock Exchange and the New York Hospital for Special Surgery to Deutsche Bank, Apple Computers and Citicorp are also collectors. Recently Antonelle has added European landscapes to his subjects, paying tribute to Monet's house and garden in a lovely piece in the process. The light of Tuscany, in particular, is a natural for him, and in some of his floral landscapes it is impossible to tell where the images originated; they are universal, using light and color to evoke life wherever it exists.Patrick Antonelle is represented and published by: SUNFLOWER FINE ART 172 Seventh Street Garden City, NY 11530 516-747-7406
