Three world-renowned paintings by Dutch 17th-century masters, Vermeer, Fabritius and De Hooch, were the focus of a special exhibition in the Beit Wing of the National Gallery of Ireland from 14th February until 24th May 2009.

The paintings:

'The Goldfinch'(1654) by Carel Fabritius, on loan from The Royal Cabinet of Paintings Mauritshuis, The Hague;

the National Gallery of Ireland's, 'Woman Writing a Letter with Her Maid' (c.1670) by Johannes Vermeer.

All three paintings were produced at the height of artistic prosperity in the Dutch city of Delft. Celebrated for their depictions of daily life, these artists are acknowledged masters in the rendition of light, perspective and spatial illusion.
Fabritius' small panel painting 'The Goldfinch' was painted in the last year of the artist's short life, and has become one of the most iconic images of the Dutch Golden Age. It was shown alongside De Hooch's celebrated painting 'The Courtyard of a House in Delft', considered one of the artist's most accomplished works in capturing natural light and linear design.

Complementing these two paintings was the Gallery's masterpiece by Vermeer, 'Woman writing a Letter with her Maid' which is one of just 36 extant paintings by the artist.

He produced some of the most radical depictions of the human figure created in modern times, reinventing the subject for the 20 th Century. The exhibition charts Schiele’s short but transformative career through one of his most important subjects – his extraordinary drawings and watercolours of male and female nudes. Egon Schiele: The Radical Nude concentrates on the artist’s drawings and watercolours. It brings together an outstanding selection of works that highlight Schiele’s technical virtuosity, highly original vision and uncompromising depiction of the naked figure. This sharply focu...

THOMAS HART BENTON at Auction III - Christie's, Doyle, Bonhams

Biography - Questroyal Fine Art, LLC, New York, New York By Amy Spencer Benton’s paintings were widely loved for their reassuring images of the American heartland during two World Wars and the Great Depression. I. Biography Thomas Hart Benton is best known for his patriotic murals that heroically depict American life during the first half of the 20th century.
