Branch of the Seine near Giverny (Mist), Claude Monet, 1897, Art Institute of Chicago: European Painting and Sculpture

Claude Monet painted the 18 works in his Mornings on the Seine series from a flat-bottomed boat anchored to the riverbank where the Epte River flows into the Seine. There, as the light changed from dawn to day, he worked on one canvas after another. To keep them in order, he numbered them, placed them in grooves built into the boat, and had the gardener whom he enlisted as his assistant hand them to him. Mr. and Mrs. Martin A. Ryerson Collection Size: 89.9 × 92.7 cm (35 3/8 × 36 ½ in.) Medium: Oil on canvas

Bacchante on a Panther, William Adolphe Bouguereau , 1855, Cleveland Museum of Art: Modern European Painting and Sculpture

Part of a series of six paintings that decorated Etienne Bartholony’s house in Paris, these paintings emulate ancient Roman designs. Crisp, cut-out forms are set against a gold background painted in imitation of mosaic. Arion was an ancient Greek poet who escaped death by riding away on the back of a sea creature who had been attracted by the poet’s song. In the companion picture, a bacchante—a female worshipper of the wine god Bacchus—rides on a panther, the god’s symbolic animal. These works were shown at the 1857 Paris Salon exhibition. Size: Framed: 87.3 x 127 x 5.4 cm (34 3/8 x 50 x 2 1/8 in.); Unframed: 71.4 x 111.3 cm (28 1/8 x 43 13/16 in.) Medium: oil on fabric
