Yesterday I discovered a part of the Getty galleries I hadn't visited before. I particularly liked three of the paintings which I've reproduced below. They cover three of the main artistic genres - a still life, a portrait and a landscape. I think I like all three because they are almost hyper-real representations. Nothing too challenging or complex. Nothing which requires great effort on my part to 'understand' them. Even the titles are straightforward. Just nice art...
Still life, tea set by Jean-Etienne Liotard, c 1781-3
Suzanne Le Peletier de Saint-Fargeau by Jacques Louis David, 1804
View of Bridge and the Town of Cava, Kingdom of Naples, by Jean Joseph-Xavier Bidault,
1785-1790
