No, not Michelangelo.

Hint : This artist was also born in Italy, in the same period as Michelangelo, worked in the same style, but died at an early age, years before death of Michelangelo.

Umm.. I believe he spent his triumphant last years in Rome, working for two Popes and their close associates.

Another hint : Together with Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci, he forms the traditional trinity of great masters of the High Renaissance period.

I'm more worried about painting no. 22. So far no clues have come out for this one.
Hint : It's an oil painting. It's artist was a French, from the Naïve art period.

The scrolling for this quiz is a nightmare; that's why I left it at Whistler's mom. But according to your description, #22 must be the one by Henri Rousseau. No idea what it's called though.

Shayne Parkinson · 07-30-2016, 04:21 PM

Brilliant work, Bookpossum!

28 is Raphael.

I agree, the scrolling part of the quiz was a real pain in the......

But you know that while discussing about art history, its always better to show the art itself instead of describing them.

And yes, you guessed it correctly! Its a Henri Rousseau artwork. +1 point to you.

It would be appreciable if you declare the title too.

Tally:

Kumabjorn - 8 pts.
doubleshuffle - 3 pts.
orlok - 11 pts.
Bookpossum - 26 pts.
Phyllis41 - 5 pts.
