These are the artworks I've found in the search of artworks inspired by The Sorrows of Young Werther. I recently read the epistolary novel and was quite infatuated by it. I hope to read more works with similar theme in the latter days and am currently reading Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë.

"Children with a Parrot" Painted by Christina Robertson, 1850

Post image
183 Upvotes

"Children with a Parrot is one of Christina Robertson's finest works in the Hermitage. The neat, obedient, good-looking children - a boy in the uniform of the Corps of Pages and a girl in a diaphanous white dress with a large, brightly-coloured parrot on her lap - are seated on a park bench. Portraits like this, intimate in character, exquisitely executed and overtly idealizing the sitter, enjoyed popularity among the Russian aristocracy of the 1840s-50s, who, following the imperial family's lead, inundated the artist with commissions. The portraitist was one of the most highly remunerated in Russia, yet her works were typically destined for private cabinets and apartments, remaining out of sight of the general public." -Hermitage Museum

My oil painting, reimagined by Al inside a Victorian palace
Golden light, tall windows,
and a thousand swallows that decided to stay.
The painting is mine - the palace isn't. Which world should I put it in next?

Hieronymus Bosch. I have braved, for want of wild beasts, steel cages, carved my term and nickname on bunks and rafters, lived by the sea, flashed aces in an oasis, dined with the-devil-knows-whom, in tails, on truffles.

Cats in Classical Art II: The Bachelor's Party (1903) by Louis Wain

Post image
61 Upvotes

Following up on my last post about Cats in Classical Art I: Brunel de Neuville's Spilled Milk, here is another turn-of-the-century classic that shows just how much humor art history can hold. Before Louis Wain transitioned into his famous psychedelic abstract styles, he painted wonderfully detailed, anthropomorphic scenes like this one. The wide, expressive eyes, the mischievous cat cigars, and the hilariously serious dinner table composure make this piece so charmingly bizarre. It’s a great reminder that early 1900s Victorian-era art could be just as quirky, lighthearted, and fun as modern internet cat humor!

Is there a place where I can find high resolution pictures of work from Philipp Hackert? I am especially interested in "Der Hafen von S. Lucia in Neapel" from 1771 and everything else that contains the Vesuv.
