I was taken aback by this because the artist is the same person who did "American Gothic". I like the surrealism and it looks cartoonish.

I like it. It has a Seurat feel to it.

I'm more fascinated by old maps or cartography prints.

The Execution of Lady Jane Grey by Paul Delaroche this is on display in London, I have friends who are going for vacation and they're going to see this and I'm so jealous! I've read that it's very large and the story behind it is of course sad.



Lady Jane Grey, known as the "Nine Days Queen," was proclaimed Queen of England on July 10, 1553, at just 15 years old after the death of her cousin Edward VI. Her reign lasted only nine days before she was deposed in favor of her cousin Mary I, and she was executed for treason on February 12, 1554, at the age of 16.

Are you familiar with what the Bolshevik revolutionaries did to the Romanov family, including the children?

Yes!! Thanks to Tori Amos' song "Yes Anastasia" I'm a believer that she got away.

“Yes, Anastasia” is the twelfth and final track off of Tori Amos' 1994 album Under The Pink. The song is inspired by the story of Anastasia Romanov, a young girl who was the daughter of Russian elite Tsar Nicholas II. In 1918, she was murdered at age 17 with the rest of her family by a revolutionary firing squad.

It's also believed that the females were tortured, raped and mutilated several times before their actual execution .

I don't know if I've mentioned it here before but some of my favorite art are by the Wyeth family. I just found out that Christina's World is on display at the MOMA as well as some of Diego Rivera and Frida kahlo's work. Now all I have to do is get up the courage to leave my house ..

I wonder how someone would paint a picture like that? Obviously the subjects didn't pose for it. So he had to have either witnessed the event and have a photographic memory, or he recreated the entire scene in his head based on what he felt like the various people looked like. Was that a dress like she was actually wearing? Was her hair done that way before the execution? was that other woman actually beside her? So many questions.

Because of how we live now we assume that is sort of like a photograph of the event. In reality its probably just a complete fabrication from the imagination of the artist.

Actually, I imagine it's more like the artist had a vision/interpretation of the event and hired models to pose as he envisioned it. Probably sketched it out to get all the proportions right. Probably brought models back as needed to rough out their figures and then fine tuned once the majority of the paint work was done.

Yes, that makes the most sense. I guess Da Vinci would have done the same thing with the last supper, etc. I think about this a lot when I read where people are studying paintings and details and drawing conclusions or theories. There are tons about the Last Supper and who sat where and who was a woman, etc. When its actually just an artists imagination of how things might have looked.

Just to add something..... The actual execution happened in 1554. The painting created - 1833.
