See the girl with the cute puppy and the flowery hat? She is Renoir's future wife! Renoir married her in 1890.

Very different from winter here. :)

Today for Me, 1901

I can't find anything about the subject of this painting. Perhaps it's an illustration? Even if I have no idea what the painting is about, I love Eleanor Fortescue Brickdale. :)

Edward Burne-Jones

(British, 1833-1898)

The Arming of Perseus, 1885

Oil on canvas

This painting shows the nymphs bringing Perseus his winged sandals, a helmet of invisibility, and a purse for the Gorgon's head.
It is almost identical to Burne-Jones's first version, Perseus and the Sea Nymphs. I like this version better: the colors are darker but brighter, Perseus got a haircut, and the sea nymphs look much happier. Which version do you prefer? :)

I posted another painting of the same subject awhile back, and you can read the story there.  Take a moment to enlarge the painting and notice how loosely it is painted, especially the background.
