Views from the inside of balconies looking out and down, from German Romanticism, through Morisot and Caillebotte, to Corinth and Pierre Bonnard.
Bonnard
Views from outside looking up and in, including David and Bathsheba, Romeo and Juliet, an early plein air landscape, and Goya’s majas.
Sargent’s hospital tent, Arab camps, Shoshone below Lander’s Peak, Sami in Lapland, clubs on Derby Day, the Big Top, and on holiday.
King Candaules killed, PhrynĂ© acquitted of impiety, Musidora watched while bathing, a nude on a beach, and Bonnard’s partner Marthe.
In some of the earliest European paintings, the Fall of Man, the fable of the cat’s paw, in Vanitas paintings, and for their mischief and mayhem.
Paul CĂ©zanne led the way in Aix-en-Provence, followed rapidly by Renoir, Signac, Cross, Luce, van Rysselberghe, and Pierre Bonnard.
Concluded with paintings from Willard Metcalf, Pierre Bonnard, JW Waterhouse, Nikolai Astrup, Paul Nash and others.
The fairy tale of the Frog Prince, the fable of The Frogs who Demand a King, frogs at the Fall of Man, and dangling from a kite tail above Strasbourg.
Repoussoir through windows, doors, then invading the middle of the painting with Corot and Pissarro, before CĂ©zanne inverted it altogether.
Left as a cliffhanger ending to Book 2, Jupiter assumes the form of a white bull, and lures Europa to sit astride his back before whisking her away across the sea.
