icons: 18th Century art and fashions

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!

Teasers:
1 2 3



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.

[identity profile] olde-fashioned.livejournal.com 2008-09-25 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
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. ;-)

Thanks! And #12 came from ArtRenewal.org, but I don't remember where I got #31 because I used Google. ;-P I'd have to go look for it.
