Taomeow Posted October 3 (edited) Feng shui advice for paintings to hang in one's home is different from what you may admire in a museum or at an art exhibition. No dark bloody themes, no chaos, no sadness, outrage, etc.. It has to be calming, uplifting, inspiring, or funny. My latest decision was in favor of funny, so I ordered a print of this painting -- Diving Pig, by Michael Sowa: Edited October 3 by Taomeow 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Author: Leonardo da Vinci Art period: Renaissance Timeline: 1503-1505 possibly to 1517 Qualities: -Subject's enigmatic expression -Monumentality of the composition -Subtle modelling of forms -Atmospheric illusionism Isleworth Mona Lisa Year Early sixteenth-century Medium Oil on canvas Subject Lisa Gherardini Dimensions 84.5 cm × 64.5 cm (33.3 in × 25.4 in) Location Private collection, Switzerland The Isleworth Mona Lisa is an early 16th-century oil on canvas painting depicting the same subject as Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa, though with the subject (Lisa del Giocondo) depicted as being a younger age.[1] The painting is thought to have been brought from Italy to England in the 1780s,[1] and came into public view in 1913 when the English connoisseur Hugh Blaker acquired it from a manor house in Somerset, where it was thought to have been hanging for over a century.[2] The painting would eventually adopt its unofficial name of Isleworth Mona Lisa from Blaker's studio being in Isleworth, West London.[3] Since the 1910s, experts in various fields, as well as the collectors who have acquired ownership of the painting, have asserted that the major elements of the painting are the work of Leonardo himself, as an earlier version of the Mona Lisa.[4] Me> Some believe it to be a genuine DaVinci, but its controversial. Dating from the early 1500s and DaVinci died in 1519, and had made sketches of his Mona Lisa. This painting shows much talent and is certainly the same model, often described as younger and perhaps happier than his original. edit> An interesting point of the original Mona Lisa is the background is a river that DaVinci built a notable bridge over. The Isleworth ML the background is.. strange, I have no idea what the black blochy, rorschach image on her left shoulder is. To me it makes it less likely to be original. Artists have been making sketches and copies of the Mona Lisa since it was made, even in DaVinci's time. Edited October 4 by thelerner 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gerard Posted October 3 Nice paintings guys, except for using the subject of pig in those surroundings. The atmosphere has been captured with exquisite balance even the tones are in the darker side. About the Da Vinci painting. Very controversial indeed. The owners will always claim authenticity largely based on the amount of money shelled out in its acquisition. The magical realism of Andrea Kowch. So she is a contemporary artist. Never heard of her before. I can see she was born in 1986. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The atmosphere has been captured with exquisite balance even the tones are in the darker side. Just another landscape painting, however nice, wouldn't amaze and amuse me as much as this one did when I saw it for the first time. It was the first work by Michael Sowa I came across, and was delighted to subsequently find out that he is famous for humorous renditions of animals in his paintings. This is one tradition that is very close to my heart, mostly (though not exclusively) Japanese until Sowa -- just one kind of art I like a lot. (There's an inimitable way Japanese artists have been depicting animals with a funny slant to the image since very long ago in art history.) Besides, this pig painting fits the bill for ALL of feng shui requirements I mentioned --it is calming, uplifting, inspiring, and funny. 1 hour ago, Gerard said: The magical realism of Andrea Kowch.
