The Talented Gentlemen's Club or An Assembly of Artists!

Louis Léopold Boilly, Assembly of Artists in the Studio of Isabey. Oil on canvas, before 1799. Musée du Louvre.
By Louis Léopold Boilly, we have a rather large gathering at Jean-Baptiste Isabey's studio with several big names attending.  Just your typical Tuesday afternoon no doubt!




I just love these paintings, so much going on, so many interactions, you really have to take a close look at everyone in the scene!  I have not been able to pick out everyone, but here are some. Who can you find?





Louis Léopold Boilly, Self Portrait. Oil on canvas. Musée des Beaux-Arts, Lille, France.
Anne-Louis Girodet, self-portrait. (ca. 1790), oil on canvas, Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg, Russia

Portrait of Pierre-Joseph Redouté.  Oil on canvas, ca. 1800.  Palais des Beaux-Arts de Lille.

Also, please note, if you are going to tote around your work, be sure your portfolio has blue straps! It is really the thing!
