"Roses, Orange Blossom, and Other Flowers in a Blue Vase," Anna Vallayer-Coster, c. 1800.
Vallayer-Coster (1744-1818) was a French painter best known for her still lifes, which was not a popular genre of painting at the time...but she was, and is, noted as a very skilled artist in that school.
She achieved fame and recognition early on, at the age of 26, and her works (including portraits, florals, and scenes of everyday life as well as still lifes) were in demand by the aristocracy.
Her career was hurt by the French Revolution. A very private and hardworking woman, she was spared the anger and bloodshed, but the market for her work dried up. Reportedly she worked in a tapestry factory for a while, just to make a living, and was still painting up until a few years before her passing at 73.
Today, while not regarded as a genius,, she is admired for her ability to treat just about anything with a certain grandeur, and to make everything seem solid and permanent, even flowers.
Happy Flower Friday!

"Girl in a Red Ruff," Pierre-Auguste Renoir, c. 1896.
One of the all-time great Impressionists, Renoir (1841-1919) was becoming disillusioned with Impressionism in the 1880s. He traveled in Italy, partly to visit museums and partly seeking relief from the rheumatoid arthritis that was hindering his life at the time. (He ended up moving to the Mediterranean coast of France, hoping the warm weather would help.)
He was profoundly influenced by Renaissance art, the Neoclassicists (especially Ingres), and the Rococo school, and sought to incorporate more of their style, rather than his usual thing. It didn't entirely last; he ended up re-incorporating some of his Impressionist stylings, but the influence remained. At this point in his life, most of his work involved women in various settings and costumes.
The unidentified woman here is all fresh rosy cheeks and dewy lips, with her hair demurely up in a bun. The white outfit and red ruff makes me wonder if she's meant to be a clown or commedia dell'arte character. She's got the formal posing of a Neoclassical painting, but the colors and warm lighting, and some of the blurred lines, of Renoir's best Impressionist work.

"Madame Desbassayns de Richemont and Her Son," Marie Benoist, 1802.
Benoist (1768-1826) was a French Neoclassical painter and portraitist, a student of the great portraitist Elisabeth Vigee-Lebrun, and also a protegee of Jacques-Louis David....to whom this portrait was mistakenly attributed for years.
She was one of a number of women artists in France just after the Revolution who exhibited to the public for the first time; before then exhibitions by women artists were rare. Benoist thrived in that environment, and one fame for her "Portrait of Madeleine," of a Black woman, the first time a Black woman had been portrayed as the aesthetic center of a Western work of art.
Jeanne Egle Fulcrand Catherine Mourgue married into the wealthy Desbassayns family, whose immense fortune came from sugar and coffee plantations on Reunion, in the Indian Ocean. There's a certain charm in her simple Empire dress and the curious toddler climbing into her lap.
Benoist sadly withdrew from the art world in 1814, at the height of her popularity, due to her husband's involvement in Royalist causes and the growing wave of conservatism in Europe of the time.

"Portrait of a Youth in an Embroidered Vest," Marie Victoire Lemoine, 1785.
Lemoine (1754-1820) was a French Neoclassical painter, one of few women of the time to paint professionally and earn her sole living that way. She did mostly portraits, miniatures, and genre scenes, and while a success at her peak, she died nearly penniless.
The subject of this portrait is unknown, although some sources claim it's Louis Benoit Zamor, a protege of Madame DuBarry. Zamor, sold as a slave, was made a gift to DuBarry and during the French Revolution was a sympathizer to the Jacobins and gave testimony against DuBarry that led to her execution.
Although he was taken in present-day Bangladesh, it's presumed he was part of the Siddi group, or Bengalis of African ancestry. DuBarry had him educated, and he was reportedly quite well-read, with a fondness for the works of Jean-Jacques Rousseau. But he loathed DuBarry and was happy to throw in his lot with the revolutionaries, although a rival faction took against him and threw him in prison. He was released six weeks later, fled France, and then returned in 1815 after the fall of Napoleon; he also died in 1820.

"Woman and Flowers," Lawrence Alma-Tadema, 1866.
I've featured Alma-Tadema before, so I won't bother much with biography.
He was a huge fan of Classical Greek art and stylings, and included them a lot in his artwork, even when depicting contemporary scenes.
Here we have an obviously Victorian scene, with a sofa and all that but the table, and the woman's hair and clothing, all echo Classical Greece. It's quite a mingling of themes that works quite well. Also a rather sensual painting, in showing her obvious joy in smelling the flowers.
Happy Flower Friday!

"In a work obviously targeted, like Shaikh’s, at graduate students in economics, the authors approach their objective via a critique of orthodox growth theory and two types of growth models. One, the post-Keynesian Harrod-Domar model, is described as a knife-edge model, as any deviation from a balanced growth path sets off an inexorable process of either inflationary expansion (if investment is above the ‘warranted rate’) or deflationary contraction (if below) – unless states intervene to stabilize the system. The ‘neoclassical’ Solow model, constructed in response to the unrealistic instability of the post-Keynesian model, depended on the ludicrously unrealistic assumptions of perfect competition. It was later combined with the problematic concept of ‘total factor productivity’, and suffered from the notorious ‘aggregation problem’ of measuring the total stock of capital.
After concisely explaining the deficiencies of both models, the authors turn to classical political economy, including Marx, for an alternative. In summary, they counterpose Shaikh’s concept of ‘real competition’ to both neoclassical perfect competition theory and theories of monopoly capital. They explain how aggregation problems can be overcome using a labour theory of value, with estimates of socially-necessary labor-time for the elements of constant capital."

Sweet Melancholy, 1756. Joseph-Marie Vien (French, 1716–1809).
The Cleveland Museum of Art.
Vien plays an important part in the the history of French art. In the mid 1740s, his encounter with Roman art newly unearthed from Herculaneum prompted him to move away from the decorative frivolity of Boucher to a more severe style - the beginning of a shift from rococo to neoclassicism. David was apprenticed to him and clearly influenced by this shift.
The head in hand pose for melancholy antedates this canvas by hundreds of years, but I like the linear elegance with which it is deployed by the artist. Other touches appeal to me too, such as the little still life on the table and the interwoven fabric and pearls of the headband.

"A Pergola, Italy," C. W. Eckersberg, 1814-16.
Dubbed "The Father of Danish Painting," Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg (1783-1853) was a celebrated Neoclassical painter and teacher who had an enormous influence on what was later called the Danish Golden Age.
Studying under such luminaries as Jean-Louis David, he spent some time in Florence and Rome, where he painted this image. It's unusual for his Roman works, as generally they're very strictly symmetrical and done with painstaking brushstrokes; this has SOME symmetry but also has the riotous grapevine, and uses broader brushstrokes.
Looks like a cool place for a glass of wine, eh?

"Self-Portrait," Marie Benoist, 1786.
Marie-Guillemine Benoist (1768-1826) was obviously very talented, having painted this while only in her teens. And she went on to be an acclaimed neoclassical and historic painter. She was initially trained under Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun and later under Jacques-Louis David, so she had guidance from some of the top talent of her day.
She became an in-demand portraitist, and even had commissions from Napoleon Bonaparte himself. She enjoyed quite a big of success...until the Bonaparte era crumbled. In the face of growing conservatism in Europe, she tactfully retired from public life and only rarely painted.
I love the energy depicted here...it's so obviously the work of someone very young and very excited and confident.

"Urania, the Muse of Astronomy, Reveals to Thales the Secrets of the Skies," Antonio Canova, 1798-99.
Canova (1757-1822) was better known as a Neoclassical sculptor. And I'll admit...as a painter, he's a great sculptor. But despite whatever technical deficiencies this may have, I find it a sweet and charming scene. It may have been a study for a proposed sculpture that never got off the ground.
The son of a stonemason, Canova was a busy sculptor pretty much as soon as he was old enough to pick up a chisel. By 1800 he was Europe's most celebrated sculptor, patronized by Napoleon (who was sculpted, nude, as Mars), and created a statue of George Washington for the state government of North Carolina.
And Thales? Thales of Miletus (626/623 - 528/525 BCE) was one of Greece's Seven Sages, a philosopher who pioneered explaining the world through natural philosophy rather than mythology, and the use of mathematics, science, and deductive reasoning. This painting refers to his observations of the movements of the planets, which enabled him to be the first recorded person to predict an eclipse through scientific observation.

"Shakespeare at Dusk," Edward Hopper, 1935.
An autumn dusk in Central Park...the weird thing is that we have the park, the statues, and the buildings in the background, but not a trace of an actual person, not even a light in a window, giving the scene an eeriness frequently found in Hopper's work.
