Still Life, Henri Fantin-Latour Another Fantin-Latour-de-force (sorry, couldn’t resist) still life in which the 19th century French master serves up more of his yummy, painterly style. Link above is to Wikipedia, from which you can access a reasonably high-resolution file. Original is in the National Gallery of Art, D.C.

Roses. Marie Krøyer seated in the deckchair in the garden by Mrs. Bendsen’s house, Peder Severin Krøyer On Google Art Project. Original is in the Skagens Museum. Enjoy the roses while they last.

The Dispatch-Bearer, Giovanni Boldini Metropolitan Museum of Art. Use “Fullscreen” link and download arrow for high-res image. Image is even higher resolution than the crops I’ve shown here. A fantastic painter. Sometimes I think this guy rivals Sargent and Zorn. See my previous post on Giovanni Boldini.

Parrots and Fruit with Other Birds and a Squirrel, Tobias Stranover A not-so-still-life. On Google Art Project, also hi-res on Wikimedia Commons. Original is in the Yale Center for British Art, which has an 18mb high-res image.

Joseph Receiving Pharaoh’s Ring, Giambattista Tiepolo (Giovanni Battista Tiepolo) On Google Art Project. Also downloadable high-res from Wikimedia Commons. Original is in the Dulwich Picture Gallery.
