Jean-Baptiste Santerre - Susanna at the Bath [1704] by Gandalf's Gallery Via Flickr: Santerre (Magny-en-Vexin, 1651 - Paris, 1717) was mainly a religious painter but his paintings lacked true inspiration. However, his Susanna at the Bath reveals an almost disturbing eroticism and something of that peculiarly chilly Rococo quality which is to be found in Falconet's nude statuettes. Few comparable pictures were to be produced at Venice, whereas Santerre initiates a whole troop of baigneuses who go on dabbling with the erotic possibilities of water as late as Fragonard, all seeming ultimately to derive from Correggio's Leda. And out of this revolution was to come the achievement of Boucher as well as Fragonard [Musée du Louvre, Paris - Oil on canvas, 205 x 145 cm]

During the 1860s, Munier received three medals at the Beaux-Arts and in 1869 he exhibited at the Paris Salon. He became a great supporter of the Academic ideals and a follower of Bouguereau, whose subject matter would be an important inspiration to the young Munier. During the 1890s Munier continued to paint peasant, mythological and religious subjects. [Sold for £97,250 at Sotheby’s, London - Oil on canvas, 199.5 x 99 cm]

Paul-Jacques-Aimé Baudry - The Wave and the Pearl [1862] by Gandalf's Gallery Via Flickr: Paul-Jacques-Aimé Baudry (La Roche-sur-Yon, November 7, 1828 - Paris, January 17, 1886) was a French painter. His talent from the first revealed itself as strictly academical, full of elegance and grace, but somewhat lacking originality. The works that crowned Baudry’s reputation were his mural decorations, which show much imagination and a high artistic gift for colour, as may be seen. in the frescoes in the Paris Court of Cassation at the Château de Chantilly, and above all, in the decorations of the foyer of the Opera Garnier.

Peter Paul Rubens - Venus and Adonis [mid-1630s] by Gandalf's Gallery Via Flickr: The subject is from Ovid’s Metamorphoses. Accidentally pricked by one of Cupid’s arrows, Venus fell in love with the handsome hunter Adonis. Rubens shows their leave-taking, a Renaissance embellishment famously depicted by Titian. With manly indifference to the goddess’s charms and her warnings of danger, Adonis hunted a wild boar and was gored to death. Except for its conclusion, the story was well suited to decorate grand country houses, where the chase occupied noblemen indoors and out.
