Black Swan

Leda with the Swan (1917) by the Russian Art Nouveau painter Nikolai Kalmakov (1873-1955). Most impressing to me seems, that it’s a black swan. Was it only because of the colour or should it indicate some kind of evil?

Look at Me

Bendiction by the Australian painter Norman Lindsay (1879-1969). Another of these proud and self confident women, which are so typical fpr Lindsay.

Witches' Sabbath

Faust (1878) by the Spanish painter Luis Ricardo Falero (1851-1896). Falero shows here very sensational the witches' sabbath or Walpurgis Night, to wich Faust was taken by Mephisto.

Neoclassical Nude

Callirrhoe by the French painter Raymond Auguste Quinsac Monvoisin (1790-1870). Monvoisin depicted here a Greek naiad in a pure neoclassical style including the temple in the back.
