My english is very poor to express how good is your blog and how I like it, recently discovered. Thank you. So many painters which I did not know! Se lei è italiano, La ringrazio nella sua lingua.
Grazie a lei.
I’ve spent the last 10 minutes or so browsing through your fine collection – a site I’ll definitely return to – Thanks for putting it together
You forgot Bouguereau.
See this site:

Bonjour
Un très bon peintre que vous pourriez rajouter …

Merci pour votre site et des découvertes que vous permettez.
Cordialement

you forgot Ramon CASAS (1866-1932) !
Almost 800 artists have been posted but I’ll always forget someone.
Why no Degas, Renoir, Cezanne?
Maybe because I tend to propose lesser known artists. But you’re right. Give me some time, I’ll try to post them as soon as possible. Thanks.
No! No modernists!! They are common, out of drawing and dominate art history unfairly!Enough with the constant parade of the eternally bloated Renoir and the hideously stylized Cezanne!They are common,and usher in a degradation of the female form, CantervilleGhost your choices are sublime and perfect!
I love seeing the despujols…more people should have the pleasure of seeing his work…
Last week I had have left a message, but it disappeared, I wonder why.
Hal
I did not see your comment. It may be that WordPress automatic system wrongly placed it among the spam (the blog is daily flooded with dozens of spam). Sorry for the inconvenience.
In my said message I, being a new subscriber, had expressed my deep appreciation for your Site and also asked how could I share with you
some material from my digital collection, such material which I did not see
on the Site. With kind regards.
Hal
To CantervilleGhost,
Well, I still wait for your reply to my above question.
Hal
When you do a day-by-day blog you’ll always forget someone…but a blog is a personal adventure not a collective forum. A blog means having the freedom to post what you want when you want to.
I think I was unable to express myself.
I just wanted to post some material from my classics collection, but I do not
know technically how to convey them to you.
Pls guide me. (How can I send you jpg pictures titled with painter names?)

Hello CantervilleGhost,
I have just discovered your site after an internet search for my Great, Great, Great Grandfather, the Victorian artist Henry Hetherington Emmerson.
I see you have a painting on your site (Nude Woman With a Peacock) by Emmerson. I have never seen this particular painting before and wondered whether you could tell me anything about it. Where you discovered it, is it definitely Emmerson – anything at all would be very much appreciated.
Many thanks.
Sheryl.
Sheryl, I replied on Emmerson page.

I recommend a 900 italian painter:

Lo inserirò senz’altro nel blog. Grazie.
A random button or RSS Feed would be nice.
Hello, I just discovered your great site while attempting to find anything about a painting given to my husband by a dear friend about 18 years ago. The painting is of a nude women and it is signed Fried Pai or Pal, not sure. She is an oil on canvas and on the back the name “Tina” is written. It looks identical to the “Tina” I saw on your website……I was very surprised to learn, upon future searches, about this artist. But, could you tell me how I would know if my husband’s painting was done by this artist??? We live in Reno, Nevada and “Tina” has a long and storied past associated with one of our premiere restaurants of years past. If you are interested, I would be glad to share the story with you since I first saw her hanging in that restaurant when I was 21 and had my first legal drink!!! Thank you ever so much for this great web site and any information you can provide would be greatly appreciated by me and my husband as well….
