Richard Johnson ~ Morning Romance | VideoArt

"When I paint, it is my hope to reach beyond the canvas and engage the viewer, to connect on the shared plane of experiences, to nod together and say, "Yes, that is what youth is like, that is what a rose is like, that is what morning light feels like." I seek to create shared moments" - Richard Johnson

Debora Calicchia, 1998 | Figurative painter

I'm graduated at the Illustration Academy in Rome in 2003. Since that time i've been aimed to become an Illustrator for children's books but it's a difficult way and i am doing the best to reach my purpose.

At present, i invest my time in painting following the Impressionism🎨 art period inspiration - Renoir, Monet🎨, Lepage, Millet🎨, Carpentier..etc., that i love so much. For painting i utilize the slice rather then the brush, a technical that many oil painters don't use. It's more difficult but the effect makes me glad and really satisfied me.

Léon Lhermitte | Naturalist painter

Léon-Augustin Lhermitte | The Gleaners, 1887 | Philadelphia Museum of Art

A part of the Realism movement and an avid realist painter, Lhermitte depicts the working class poverty in France.

Taking very obvious inspiration from Millet, a painting of the same name, Lhermitte in a series of works displayed at the Salon aims to capture this moment in time.

When comparing his work to Millet's, even the poses of the women are very similar if not the same.

In the foreground there are two women bent over picking up the grains left behind.

An obvious difference between this work and Millet's is that there is no large crowd of people working in the background.
