olde_fashioned: (18th century -- Copley blue sleeves)
[personal profile] olde_fashioned
Almost four dozen icons of one of my favourite subjects: 18th Century art and fashions. There are a large amount of John Singleton Copley icons, Allan Ramsay, with Gustave Jean Jacquet, a 19th century artist whose style is so similar that I decided to go ahead and include him, especially since his subjects seem to be clad in 18th century-esque garments. ;-)

Where possible, I've preserved the titles of the paintings in the URLs, except for Ramsay. Minimal again this time, because I felt it suited the portraits better. They're so lovely, they don't need any textures.

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

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. ;-)

Thats excellent work. I adore the pictures. Could you please direct me to the site where you got the images from? I'd love to view them in larger size.

Thanks. And as they are all by different artists, it's difficult for me to know which you're referring to specifically, but the majority of them I got from ArtRenewal.org. ;-)
