Tate Britain again. William Hogarth is best known for his social commentry but I could stand in front of this masterpiece for hours. No reproduction can come close it is a wonderous piece of humanity…I find it very moving. ![](https://discourse-sotonians-uploads.s3.dualstack.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/original/3X/9/8/981e34ae9c5648ef617ccf710fbf06f0e3c4a685.jpeg) ---

Top Art LITSL.! You hit upon something not mentioned before in the thread - the diference it makes when seeing these things with your own eyes. I remember seeing several Van Goghs at the Musee D’orsay sevral years back - closest I had come before was an Athena poster of one of his various sunflowers (Athena- showing my age).It turns the amazing it into something magnificent. ---

I was lucky enough to be invited to a private viewing of some of Turner’s watercolour illustrations for poetry at The Clore Gallery back in the '90s. They showed us to a study room where the watercolours were lined up on desk easels…and locked us in. Needless to say, they were beautiful. :lou_smiley: ---

Loving this thread. Part of my Spanish and Italian degree was a bit on Spanish art (inc French Impressionists - think the tutor liked them and tagged it on). Love Goya’s stuff. Never seen Derian’s work so thanks for introducing me to his work. ---

Derain and the fauve are amazing… As a student in 1991, was lucky enough to spend Easter vac in the US with some American Friends from Uni. Went to the Met. Museum and Modern Art and there was a Fauve exhibition. The pic above is of Westminster Bridge. No repro can do it justice. It’s a big canvas and each brush stroke is about the size of your thumb… its stunningly bright - left me spellbound. 😲 ---

This painting of Kelly Holmes (I’ve selected a photo that shows both the artist and the subject in front of the actual painting because it gives a good sense of scale) caught my eye at a recent visit to the National Portrait Gallery. My overriding thoughts were: first, I can’t believe it’s not a photograph; and, second, why didn’t he just take a photograph and save himself all that time and effort painting her. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to explore these thoughts with the artist. ![](https://discourse-sotonians-uploads.s3.dualstack.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/original/3X/c/d/cd516533b269c6f053c0e8f31368a3b48fda3a49.jpeg) ---

Ahr Photorealism - not everyones cup of tea, for the reason you state - but you can’t argue with the skill. I know nothing about it so cant comment on why paint instead of photo… ---

The lead singer of my fave Southampton band is pretty artisitic. I am in awe of how he does these sketches with biro. ![](https://discourse-sotonians-uploads.s3.dualstack.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/original/3X/7/a/7a0d831147b1cb3ab65ccaf987e662c866d3ef59.jpeg) I picked a football one for you guys. 😉 ---

Maybe that is the thing … because of the marvel at the detail - the ‘gasp’ when you realise the skill involved? Have seen a few of these, but nothing on that scale… can appreciate why you like it ---

I definitely was in awe of the artist’s skill; however, paintings such as Munch’s _Scream_ produce a much greater impact on me. ![](https://discourse-sotonians-uploads.s3.dualstack.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/original/3X/c/b/cb709a93f6f05e0bae749159f171a10c1e874217.jpeg) [Previous page](https://www.sotonians.com/t/sky-arts-landscape-painter-of-the-year/899.md?page=3) [Next page](https://www.sotonians.com/t/sky-arts-landscape-painter-of-the-year/899.md?page=5)
