The Coronation of Napoleon I Bonaparte, Empereur des Francais, Roi d'Italy et Protecteur du confederation du Rhine. My favourite moment in history and my favourite painting. Made by Louis David:

M.E.T.H.O.D.

Portrait of a Warrior with Squire by Giorgione(first decade of the XVI century)




My current avatar is the portrait of Gaston de Foix, Dke of Nemours by Anonymous(surely painted after Gaston's death)



Clearly inspired by the triptych of the Pala di Castelfranco,again by Giorgione(1502)



Portrait of a Young Lady by Pollaiolo(1470s)


You can really see the "delicacy" of this young woman(It's the only portrait of the post that I managed to admire "live")

Philip the Good of Burgundy and his retinue by Rogier van der Weyden(1447)

Man, the good ol' Duke really knew how to dress

Fabulous as always Method.

Hello! I just joined the forum and so this post is rather late...but I hope you don't mind. Our website offers a collection of nineteenth century American paintings, as well as two collections of nineteenth century photographs taken by American photographers. The paintings are discussed in historical context (for instance, was it art or propaganda?), http://www.cliohistory.org/visualizingamerica/; the photographs are presented both as documentary records of nineteenth century life and as a new art form, Clio: Photography Exhibits of Early American Women Photographers. (This is an educational non-profit, non-commercial project.)
