Swipe Spot #13

or: Marat the Monster (Mash-Up)

Marat… I know what you expect, but that would only be an insult to you and embarrassing for me.

Marat the Monster, 1965 - Robert Fawcett

Sure Robert Fawcett paid homage to the iconic painting by David, but…

this post is meant to highlight Fawcett's swipe from another (once popular) painting.

Shown at the Paris Salon of 1880, Assassination of Marat (13 July 1793 at 8pm) by Jean-Joseph Weerts (1847-1927) was purchased by the State (France).

Jean-Achille Benouville (1815-1891)

Though Impressionism continues to be quite popular (the outdoor landscapes), its antithesis, allegorical/historical landscapes painted by classically inclined artists are seldom seen. Here is one such painter~

Jean-Achille Benouville  (1815-1891)

1837 - tied for 2nd place, with Félix-Hippolyte Lanoüe, for the Prix de Rome de Paysage historique (historical landscape) subject: Apollon, gardant les troupeaux chez Admèle, invente la lyre

1841 - failed to place in the Prix de Rome de Paysage historique, subject: Adam et Eve chassés du paradis terrestre, 1st prize went to Félix-Hippolyte Lanoüe

1841 - Adam et Eve chassés du paradis terrestre - Jean-Achille Benouville

1845 - won the Prix de Rome de Paysage historique, subject: Ulysse et Nausicaa
