Who Painted This #37 - The Answer
 |
| Sunlight on the Piazzetta by Maurice Prendergast |
- Title of the artwork: Sunlight on the Piazzetta
- Name of the artist who created this artwork: Maurice Brazil Prendergast, American (born in Canada), 1858–1924
- Date it was created: 1898–99
- Media used: Watercolor over graphite pencil on paper, 31.4 x 52.4 cm (12 3/8 x 20 5/8 in.)
- Where it lives now: Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
I have to confess I'd never heard of Maurice Prendergast before I came across this piece. However I'm very taken with his work - with its patchwork /tapestry when using watercolour. The simplicity might be taken for naivety without but they're nothing of the sort.
If you'd like to see some of his work up close, check out
- Wikimedia Commons which have a good selection - I love his observations of people moving around town
- the website for an exhibition at Bedoin College - Maurice Prendergast: By the Sea - which is on right now (it runs until 13 October 2013)
- this website which states it has copies of all his works - Maurice Prendergast - The Complete Works

I failed hopelessly with last week's challenge, so as soon as I saw this I knew what to look for. A long long time ago I did my thesis on symbolism, Van Eyck's Arnolfini Portrait, The Ambassador by Holbein and The Donne Triptych by Hans Memling,(hand written, as no typewriter for a penniless art art student) so this image was very familiar to me. However, I have to confess, 33 yrs have past since then so the name was not on the tip of my tongue.

Medium.....Oil paint on oak
Date ....1427-1432

How I found it....I knew I`d seen this in New York , (thought it was by Van der Weyden, ), looked up the Metropolitan as a first guess on location and found it there.

I recognised it Immediately as a Flemish altarpiece of the Annunciation and knew that I had seen it in a museum somewhere. My first thought was Roger Van de Weyden so looked that up on Google. Then looked up Flemish altarpieces of Annunciation and found it. I had seen it in NY and Van de Weyden is thought to have contributed to some of the painting - he would have been a young man.

Documents indicate that he hired at least two assistants, the young Rogier van der Weyden (about 1400–1464) and Jacques Daret (about 1404–1468).

No wild goose chases this week.
Merode Altarpiece, Annunciation Triptych by Netherlandish artist Robert Campin, or at least from his workshop, About 1425 to 1428. Lives in New York, the Cloisters. Is that in the Metropolitan Museum? I googled Dutch Triptych 15th century and up it came. Went on to Wikepedia, the Metropolitan museum files kept alarming my computer so I didn't look at their site.

I just searched for 15th century religous paintings.
According to Wikipedia the female and servant in the left hand panel have been added at a later date,also there is another version of the central panel which may represent the original version by Campin.

Hello Katherine
ReplyDeleteHaven't had a go at this for a little while!!
Title of the artwork: The Me'rode Altarpiece (triptych)or Annunciation triptych
Name of the artist who created this artwork: Robert Campin
Date it was created: probably between 1425 and 1428 although may be up until 1432
Media used: Oil on wood (oak) panels
Where it lives now: It is at the Cloisters which is a branch of MoMA, and there is also a version of the central panel in Brussels.
To find the answer I searched for the keywords "devotional painting, triptych, angel, Mary, Joseph" I didn't know what the first panel represented!
Kindest regards

Thought to be painted after 1422 likely between 1425
And 1428
Metropolitan Museum of Art ...the Cloisters, NY USA
Knew the title of the painting, so it was very easy.
Robert Campin (or his workshop), The Merode Alterpiece, At The Cloisters part of The Metropolitan Museum In New York.
ReplyDeleteIt was painted 1427-32 and is oils on oak. It is, clearly enough, a triptych.
As mentioned last time I went to a residency, which was in New York. This was one of the works I saw there, so I recognised it immediately - it was the 24th May (my birthday) and we had a show of our work opening in the evening. I hate waiting for things to start, so decided to go up to the Cloisters (and the Hispanic Society) to pass the time. It was bucketing down, and as I was using public transport I got very wet indeed - it's quite a walk from the underground up to the museum.
Still, one of the strongest memories of the trip :) (Oh, and this would be in the top 5 of paintings I say that day)

ReplyDeleteIt is called the Merode Triptych
The artist is The Master of Flemalle
it was painted, using oils, a new medium at the time, around 1430.
It lives in the Cloisters Collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
I know this because last night I listened to the first couple of chapters in a new 'Art to Hear'(text on CD) book about The Master of Flemalle and Rogier van der Weyden (one of my fave artists). This work was the one I 'read' about just before I went to sleep!
OK, it's already Wednesday so I'm sure there are plenty of people in ahead of me.
ReplyDeleteI was sure it was a Jan van Eyck, which it is not but is still part of the flemish school along with Rogier van der Weyden and of course Jan van Eyke, according to Boundless.com, some kind of online text book site.
I searched Jan van Eyke triptych and it came up.
Their link took me to wikipedia.org which did not have all the info so I ended up on The Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY for the rest.
