16. SIRGBL_180126_09.JPG: Bartolom� Esteban Murillo From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Bartolom� Esteban Murillo (born late December 1617, baptized January 1, 1618 – April 3, 1682) was a Spanish Baroque painter. Although he is best known for his religious works, Murillo also produced a considerable number of paintings of contemporary women and children. These lively, realist portraits of flower girls, street urchins, and beggars constitute an extensive and appealing record of the everyday life of his times.
17. SIRGBL_180126_24.JPG: Peter Paul Rubens From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Sir Peter Paul Rubens (28 June 1577 – 30 May 1640) was a Flemish artist. He is considered the most influential artist of Flemish Baroque tradition. Rubens' highly charged compositions reference erudite aspects of classical and Christian history. His unique and immensely popular Baroque style emphasized movement, color, and sensuality, which followed the immediate, dramatic artistic style promoted in the Counter-Reformation. Rubens specialized in making altarpieces, portraits, landscapes, and history paintings of mythological and allegorical subjects. In addition to running a large studio in Antwerp that produced paintings popular with nobility and art collectors throughout Europe, Rubens was a classically educated humanist scholar and diplomat who was knighted by both Philip IV of Spain and Charles I of England. Rubens was a prolific artist. The catalogue of his works by Michael Jaff� lists 1,403 pieces, excluding numerous copies made in his workshop. His commissioned works were mostly "history paintings", which included religious and mythological subjects, and hunt scenes. He painted portraits, especially of friends, and self-portraits, and in later life painted several landscapes. Rubens designed tapestries and prints, as well as his own house. He also oversaw the ephemeral decorations of the royal entry into Antwerp by the Cardinal-Infante Ferdinand of Austria in 1635. His drawings are predominantly very forceful and without great detail. He also made great use of oil sketches as preparatory studies. He was one of the last major artists to make consistent use of wooden panels as a support medium, even for very large works, but he used canvas as well, especially when the work needed to be sent a long distance. For altarpieces he sometimes painted on slate to reduce reflection problems.

  Renwick Gallery; Building The building was saved from destruction by President Kennedy in 1963. It was designed by James Renwick, architech of the Smithsonian "Castle", to serve as the home of the Corcoran Gallery. Construction began in 1859. During the Civil War, Lincoln's Army Quartermaster Montgomery Meigs took over the building as his headquarters. After the War, the building was finished and the Corcoran collection installed. The collection got too big and was moved to the new Corcordan Gallery site, also designed by Renwick. In 1965, the site was acquired by the Smithsonian Institution and was reopened as the Renwick Gallery in 1971.
