Inspiration: The Wallace Collection

Posted in Inspiration by skiesdreamblue on January 27, 2012

Apologies for not posting every day this week, I’ve had some days off to celebrate my 21st birthday! I took a trip to London to visit the Wallace Collection. It’s by far one of the most beautiful galleries I’ve ever been to! Here’s some of my favourite works held there…

Fragonard’s The Swing

Portrait of Marquise de Pompadour

Fragonard -The souvenir

Francois Boucher

Mademoiselle de Camargo Dancing – Lancret

Francesca da Rimini – Ary Scheffer

Gainsborough – Mrs Mary Robinson

  Thank you v much Lol noses actually took me a long time to learn how to draw properly, they’re so tricky. So I’m glad to help with them!

“The Swing” is one of my favorites – have you ever seen the musical Contact? They recreate this painting in a movement piece that is truly incredible. Your art is beautiful!
