USS Two Sisters (1856)
USS ''Two Sisters'' was a small 54-ton captured Confederate schooner acquired by the Union Navy from the prize court during the American Civil War.

The Two Sisters (Chassériau)
''The Two Sisters'' (french: Les Deux Sœurs) is an oil-on-canvas painting by the French romantic artist Théodore Chassériau, created in 1843. Completed when the artist was twenty-three years of age, it depicts Chassériau's sisters Adèle and Aline. It is housed in the Musée du Louvre, in Paris. History and description Chassériau depicted on this canvas his two sisters, who had already served as his models on other occasions. They stand side-by-side. On the left, wearing a lush rose at her waist, is his older sister, Adèle; on the right is Aline. Although the representation of the identically dressed sisters suggests twinship, Adèle was thirty-three and Aline was twenty-one when they posed for the portrait. Their age difference is not apparent in the painting. Both sisters have fine, shiny dark hair parted in the middle and tied back in a bun. They wear similar jewelry. Their two figures, outlined in black, stand out against the green background. The work is a product o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
The Two Sisters (Lemmen Painting)
''The Two Sisters'', also known as ''The Serruys Sisters'', is an 1894 oil painting by Belgian artist Georges Lemmen, located in the Indianapolis Museum of Art, which is in Indianapolis, Indiana. It uses pointillism to depict the sisters Jenny and Berthe Serruys. Description This double portrait of eight-year-old Jenny and twelve-year-old Berthe is typical of Lemmen's detailed, austere portraiture. He depicted the pair with penetrating gazes and a commanding presence, quite unlike the usual sentimentality of children's portraits. The painted wooden frame is original, one of the few surviving Neo-Impressionist frames. While the red of the girls' dresses and the blue of the background are the dominant colors, Lemmen used green and orange dots across the painting and the frame to enhance those hues. Utilizing the opposite ends of the color wheel means the contrast effect stimulates greater brilliance in the red and blue than they would have evoked on their own. Historical i ...

Madge Tennent
Madge Tennent (June 22, 1889 – February 5, 1972) was a naturalized American artist, born in England, raised in South Africa, and trained in France. She ranks among the most accomplished and globally renowned artists ever to have lived and worked in Hawaiʻi. A child prodigy, Tennent spent her formative teenage years in Paris, where she honed technical mastery under the tutelage of William-Adolphe Bouguereau at the Académie Julian; simultaneous exposure to the city's leading avant-garde artists, including Paul Cézanne, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Pablo Picasso, stoked her pioneering vision. Having served as an art educator in South Africa, New Zealand, and British Samoa, she settled in Honolulu with her husband and children in 1923. Tennent's prolific output spanned paintings, drawings, and sculpture. Her reverent fascination with Hawaiian women inspired the sweeping aesthetic quest that would culminate in an iconic signature style: enormous paintings of voluptuous female fig ...

Two Sisters (On The Terrace)
''Two Sisters'' or ''On the Terrace'' is an 1881 oil-on-canvas painting by French artist Pierre-Auguste Renoir in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago. The dimensions of the painting are 100.5 cm × 81 cm. The title ''Two Sisters'' (french: Les Deux Sœurs) was given to the painting by Renoir, and the title ''On the Terrace'' (french: Sur la terrasse) by its first owner Paul Durand-Ruel.

William-Adolphe Bouguereau
William-Adolphe Bouguereau (; 30 November 1825 – 19 August 1905) was a French academic painter. In his realistic genre paintings, he used mythological themes, making modern interpretations of classical subjects, with an emphasis on the female human body. During his life, he enjoyed significant popularity in France and the United States, was given numerous official honors, and received top prices for his work. As the quintessential salon painter of his generation, he was reviled by the Impressionist avant-garde. By the early twentieth century, Bouguereau and his art fell out of favor with the public, due in part to changing tastes. In the 1980s, a revival of interest in figure painting led to a rediscovery of Bouguereau and his work. He finished 822 known paintings, but the whereabouts of many are still unknown. Life and career Formative years William-Adolphe Bouguereau was born in La Rochelle, France, on 30 November 1825, into a family of wine and olive oil merchants.Wissman ...
