THE APOTHEOSIS OF HERCULES, 1765. CREATOR: GIOVANNI DOMENICO TIEPOLO.

The Apotheosis of Hercules, 1765. The Apotheosis of Hercules, along with other similar scenes of figures elevated into the heavens, was a commonly depicted subject in Baroque art, used for decorative cycles and in particular for ceiling paintings. The death and subsequent elevation of Hercules to the heavens on the wish of Jupiter is recounted by Ovid in The Metamorphoses. The Apotheosis of Hercules, 1765. Creator: Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo.

COUNTRY WEDDING, 1649. CREATOR: JAN STEEN.

Country Wedding, 1649. The artist depicts the arrival of the bride in an exterior setting. Dressed in white and followed by a rather motley retinue, she wears her hair loose as a symbol of chastity. The bride is accompanied on either side by two elderly women who wear the traditional huik, a cape with a projecting hood, which is in the more modern style in the case of the woman on our left. The groom, standing at the foot of the stairs that lead into the house, receives his wife with a rather exaggerated gesture of reverence. Country Wedding, 1649. Creator: Jan Steen.

OYSTER EATERS, 1665. CREATOR: JACOB OCHTERVELT.

Oyster Eaters, 1665. The three figures are grouped around a table on which the older woman is placing a tray of oysters. This shellfish had erotic connotations and was thought to be an aphrodisiac, an allusion which, combined with that of music, suggests an amorous theme for the painting. To judge from the figures and the other elements this scene might be set in a brothel. Oyster Eaters, 1665. Creator: Jacob Ochtervelt. (KEYSTONE/HERITAGE IMAGES/HERITAGE ART)

THE YOUNG MUSICIANS, 1640. CREATOR: ANTOINE LE NAIN.

The Young Musicians, 1640. This type of painting of a group of children is frequent in the work of Antoine Le Nain. These small-format paintings depict children singing or playing, arranged in simple compositions such as the present one. Here the figures, which are all standing, are arranged almost in a straight line, with the three boys slightly more to the foreground occupying the centre and right half of the composition. Two of them are playing a small tambourine and a stringed instrument while the one in the middle is singing. Slightly behind them and on the left are two girls. The greys, browns and earth tones that prevail in the foreground and in the clothes of the children contrast with some areas of bright, strong local colour such as the red of two of the jackets and the blue apron.

PIERROT CONTENT, 1712. CREATOR: JEAN-ANTOINE WATTEAU.

Pierrot Content, 1712. Pierrot sits at the centre, flanked by two men and two women, one of whom is playing the guitar. Like many seventeenth-century Italian landscapes, the scene is set in the corner of a garden; a statue of Pan can be discerned among the thick surrounding foliage. Pierrot Content, 1712.

SOLDIERS PLAYING DICE, 1656. CREATOR: MICHIEL SWEERTS.

Soldiers playing Dice, 1656. Two seated men playing dice on top of a drum that serves as a makeshift table. The figure seen frontally has just thrown the dice, which are carefully examined by the other player, seen from behind. The scene takes place out of doors in a courtyard. A further four figures are almost impossible to detect: two seated on the right and another swathed in a cloak and hat standing just behind the principal scene. The fourth figure is only visible in outline and is standing guard in the doorway of the room that opens off the courtyard. Soldiers playing Dice, 1656. Creator: Michiel Sweerts.

CONCERT CHAMPETRE, 1734. CREATOR: JEAN-BAPTISTE PATER.

Concert Champetre, 1734. A day of leisure among the urban classes of elevated social rank on the outskirts of a city. Pater organised his concert into two clearly defined groups that occupy successive pictorial planes and form a diagonal that leads the eye into a misty landscape in the background. The principal group on the left is organised around a couple, of which the man plays the guitar while the woman points to a page in the musical score that she holds, presumably suggesting a piece for him to play. The other figures around them are grouped into pairs, chatting and commenting on the scene, apart from a young man who looks with interest at the musical score. In the group on the right, which is set against a monumental architectural element, the painter places considerable emphasis on small details such as the little girl in the foreground who attracts the dog’s attention with a bone.

GROUP OF MUSICIANS, 1650. CREATOR: JACOB VAN LOO.

Group of Musicians, 1650. Young people are engaged in a happy, relaxed gathering on a terrace. A table covered with a richly coloured carpet is the axis around which the musicians are informally arranged. On the left a young woman is playing the ‘cello and opposite her another woman seated at the table and singing with a piece of music open before her. On the right a man is beating time with his hand on the table and looking boldly at the woman who is singing. Group of Musicians, 1650. Creator: Jacob van Loo.

THE HAPPY VIOLINIST, 1624. CREATOR: GERRIT VAN HONTHORST.

The happy Violinist, 1624. The lighting is one of the elements that gives this composition its force, while another is the treatment of the figure, whose happy mood is conveyed in the radiant gaze that attracts the viewer’s attention. The painter has paid great attention to every detail in this anonymous figure, with his bright red nose and cheeks and red fingers that delicately raise the glass. The musician is dressed in theatrical dress and wears a plumed hat. The happy Violinist, 1624. Creator: Gerrit van Honthorst. (KEYSTONE/HERITAGE IMAGES/HERITAGE ART)

DEMOLITION OF ST. JAMES' HALL, EXTERIOR, 1907. CREATOR: DAVID MUIRHEAD BONE.

Demolition of St. James' Hall, exterior, 1907. Located on a site between Regent Street and Piccadilly, St James' Hall was a celebrated London concert hall where handsome performances were held for almost half a century between 1858 and 1905. The demolition of the hall occurred in 1905. The artist captures the cavernous rib cage of the structure lying stark and bare, the vaults of the building bleaching in dramatic sunlight. Workmen swarm around the remains of the hall, their ropes and pulleys delicately hanging off the structure, while horses and carriages pass the demolition through the street in the foreground.

He sits astride his horse, at a distance from the raging battle, with his trumpet at his side. Trumpeters needed visibility to sound a charge or retreat, yet his isolation may also symbolize the widespread disillusionment with the French military after the fall of Napoleon in 1815.
