Peter Paul Rubens “Christ on the Cross” 42″ x 29″ (1613)
An unknown Flemish Old Master work has been discovered.
“A long-lost, dramatic painting of Jesus Christ‘s crucifixion by 17th century Flemish master painter Peter Paul Rubens was found in a mansion in Paris, and will be auctioned this fall.
“Christ on the Cross (1613) was discovered by French auctioneer Jean-Pierre Osenat last September, while preparing to selling the private residence in the city’s 6th district, according to AFP, which first reported the news.
“Osenat said the large Baroque painting measuring 42 by 29 inches was ‘a true profession of faith and a favourite subject for Rubens, a protestant who converted to Catholicism’.
“”It was painted by Rubens at the height of his talent,’ Osenat told AFP, noting the artwork was in ‘very good condition’.
“’It is an extremely rare and incredible discovery,’ he added.”

Now this is a wonderful thing, but it just makes me realize how much art I know only through reproductions, presenting an entirely different medium, size and even coloration than the actual works themselves. Since its in France, of course the site is in French. Oh well, I’m still going to be exploring this.

“Remodernism is not a style of art, it is a form of motivation. We express the universal language of inspired humanity.
“We do not imitate what came before. We find in ourselves the same divine essence of love and excitement which has inspired masterpieces throughout history. We are strengthened by drawing on traditions thousands of years old.
“We integrate the bold, visionary efforts of the Modern era into a holistic, meaningful expression of contemporary life. Remodernism seeks a humble maturity which heals the fragmentation and contradictions of Modernism, and obliterates the narcissistic lies of Postmodernism.
“Remodernism is the return of art as a revelation.”

The most seductive thing about art is the personality of the artist himself.

Norman Rockwell “All Together”
The secret to so many artists living so long is that every painting is a new adventure. So, you see, they’re always looking ahead to something new and exciting. The secret is not to look back.

Paul Gauguin “Daydreaming”
The great artist is a formulation of the greatest intelligence: he is the recipient of sensations which are the most delicate and consequently the most invisible expressions of the brain.
