icons: 18th Century art

[olde_fashioned]

This time the paintings I've iconed are all by Romney, Raeburn, Reynolds and a delightfully 18th century-style artist by the name of Charles Chaplin. ;-) Even though he lived and painted in the Victorian era, I felt his work was sufficiently "18th century-esque" to include here.

This time I did a number of men and soldiers in addition to my usual pretty ladies in pretty dresses. ;-D

As always, never alter my graphics, comment, credit, and enjoy!

Teasers:




Please, if you take anything, be so kind as to take note of the numbers of the icon(s) you're saving, since I am always experimenting with my styles and I would like to know what people like best. (This helps me so I can make more!) The numbers are above the icons.

[greeneyedmissy.livejournal.com]

Of course this tells you how bad I am...I had no clue Charlie Chaplin painted. But this work is lovely and you did a great job iconing them, especially the cropping. :D

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Oh, no no no -- he's not that Charlie Chaplin! Sorry to confuse you. (http://www.artrenewal.org/asp/database/art.asp?aid=663)

Thanks for the compliments! :-)

[greeneyedmissy.livejournal.com]

*blushes* Must remember not to try and read posts so early in the morning. I initially read Charlie, not Charles, my bad.

[sommertiara.livejournal.com]

Lovely! What else can be said? Hard to pic favourites but it has to be 5, 26 and 36. Also loved that you did some if soldiers, but I still prefer the ladies, hehe.

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

LOL, I feel the same way about the soldiers -- they're nice, and probably ought to be iconed from time to time, but pretty ladies are much more fun. ;-P

[xcapella.livejournal.com]

Just how do you know how to choose the most drool-inducing paintings? :P

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Yay, I was hoping you would like them! :-D

PS. Umm...I don't know? I just choose the ones that make me drool, lol. ^-^

Breathtaking

[plusbelleonline.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much for so carefully adding all the original sources. Your icons are beautiful. <3

Re: Breathtaking

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thank you, and you're very welcome! I detest it when people don't credit, and citing artists and paintings is a definite must, in my opinion. ;-) Glad someone else appreciates the effort!

[princessjune.livejournal.com]

I love icons 35 - 46! Will credit when I use any of them! Your cropping is beautiful!

[spicedmilk.livejournal.com]

Oh, wow, these are just absolutely gorgeous! I'll be using 5, 44, and 46, with credit. Thank you so much! :)
