Oil paintings by Giovanni Sanesi (Italy, 1992):
I love contemporary figurative art in general, but his paintings just have something more to them that resonates so much with how I feel. In his series inspired by the events of the russo-ukrainian war, he documents this dramatic event through youth’s dreamy eyes, as if it was almost a dream, something that could never truly happen.

Oil paintings by Giovanni Sanesi (Italy, 1992):
I love contemporary figurative art in general, but his paintings just have something more to them that resonates so much with how I feel. Giovanni manages to capture the instant, the feeling, the sensation of a moment better than photographs do, he gives us a quick, rough, imprecise but bright glimpse inside contemporary youth’s daily emotions.
The artist himself, looking just like one of this artworks:

Way back I did this painting as part of the Earth Day celebration for the Society of Illustrators. “Narwhal Rain” was a pivotal piece for me.

Legend has it that the color green is worn on St. Patrick’s Day in an effort to blend in (or make you invisible to leprechauns), but the green in our galleries tends to stand out.
However you celebrate today, we wish you a happy St. Patrick’s Day. Here are several shades of green for your feed by way of Everett Shinn’s “Keith’s Union Square.”
Everett Shinn (American, 1876-1953). Keith’s Union Square, ca. 1902-1906. Oil on canvas. Brooklyn Museum, Dick S. Ramsay Fund, 42.6

Thomas Francis Dicksee (1819–1895, Engand)
Characters from Shakespeare
Thomas Francis Dicksee was an English painter, primarily a portraitist and painter of historical, genre subjects — often from Shakespeare. He exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1841 until the year of his death. His brother John Robert Dicksee was also a painter, and his children, Frank and Margaret likewise became painters. In The Dictionary of Victorian Painters, Herbert Dicksee is given as his son also, but according to the City of London School, where Herbert taught, he was the son of John Robert Dicksee.
