Leopold Liechtenberg Janežič, unknown date. |
For some reason I can't quite figure, I love painters whose work combines great technical skill with frequently misunderstood perspective, lapses in drawing, wildly variable degrees of verisimilitude, etc. I've only recently "discovered" Giuseppe Tominz, but I find his paintings very interesting, and I think he's a very good example of those charmingly inconsistent artists whose work I find so fascinating.
Countess Cecilia d'Auersperg, 1822. |
Valentino Valle and his daughter, between 1825 and 1828. |
Three Ladies of the Moscon Family, 1829. As with the Mona Lisa, the two halves of the background landscape fail to line up. |
Man in Ottoman Dress, circa 1840s - 1850s. |
Pier Giacomo and Maria Leva, circa 1840. |
Lady with Camellia, circa 1850. |
The de Brucker Family, circa 1830. |
Teresa Deperis Alimonda, circa 1839. |
Dr. Frušić and his Family, circa 1835. |
Self-portrait, 1826. |
It's difficult not to be fascinated by these paintings. I am particularly fond of paintings with visible corrections.
ReplyDeleteAgreed -so fabulous! It somehow seems so modern - early cubism or something approaching it! It's the best of both worlds -the polished with the naive.
