Title: Sleeping Venus

Artist: Giorgione/Titian

Date: 1510

Location: Gemäldegalerie, Dresden
 
Fun fact: Traditionally attributed to the Italian Renaissance painter Giorgione, although it has long been usually thought that Titian completed it after Giorgione's death in 1510. The landscape and sky are generally accepted to be mainly by him. In the 21st century, much scholarly opinion has shifted further, to see the nude figure of Venus as also painted by Titian, leaving Giorgione's contribution uncertain.

"Le Pont-Neuf vu du quai de la Mégisserie" by Siebe ten Cate


It's not really a famous painter, but he was one of my ancestors. He was actually close friends with Vincent van Gogh and you can find some of his paintings in Paris, Louvre, where he lived most of his life!

Title: Paris Street; Rainy Day

Artist:  Gustave Caillebotte

Date: 1877

Location: Art Institute of Chicago, Illinois 

Fun fact: Caillebotte's interest in photography is evident in the painting. The figures in the foreground appear "out of focus", those in the mid-distance (the carriage and the pedestrians in the intersection) have sharp edges, while the features in the background become progressively indistinct.

Some of the details in there are sexual jokes but I don't speak French so I don't really get them.
