I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Help? The Medium (Email) links are for screen viewing and emailing. You'll want bigger sizes for printing. [Click here for additional help]

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. WALTEP_090103_164.JPG: Paul Delaroche & Charles Beranger Replica of "The Hemicycle", 1853. This painting replicates Delaroche's most famous work, a mural in oils and wax (1836-41) in the auditorium of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, France's most prestigious art school. Charles Beranger is thought to have begun this replica in 1841, but the master completed it following his pupil's death in 1853. It was originally intended as the model on which a reproduction print was based. Represented are great artists of the past, who appear to preside over the awards ceremonies held in the auditorium. Enthroned in the center are the three masters of antiquity -- Ictinus the architect, Apelles the painter, and Phidias the sculptor -- flanked by personifications of Greek and Gothic art (on the left) and Roman and Renaissance art (on the right). Below, the semi-nude figure of Fame leans forward to distribute laurel wreaths to the recipients of the coveted Grand Prix de Rome, who were entitled to spend four or five years studying in Rome at the expense of the state. Included in this great assembly are those European artists from the 13th through the 17th century whom Delaroche ranked as the most important. To the left are 14 sculptors and a gathering of painters known as colorists and naturalists and, to the right, 13 architects, 2 engravers, and 19 painters distinguished for their drawing. Although many of their names are familiar today, among them Titian, Rembrandt, and Rubens on the left, and Raphael, Michelangelo, and Poussin on the right, others are less so. Notably absent are Botticelli, El Greco, and Vermeer (whose paintings were not rediscovered until later in the century). According to the accounts of the dealer Adolphe Goupil, this exceptionally elaborate frame cost 5,000 French francs, or $1,000, a remarkable sum in 1853.
2. WALTEP_090103_441.JPG: Saint Francis Receiving the Stigmata, ca. 1585-90 Domenikos Theotokopoulos, called El Greco (The Greek) In 1226, St. Francis of Assisi had a vision of a seraph (the highest order of angels) with an image of the crucified Christ amid its six wings, from which he miraculously received the Stigmata -- the wounds inflicted upon Christ during the Crucifixion. El Greco represents the wounds on Francis's elegant hands, and the saint's transfixed gaze conveys the spiritual impact of the experience. The absence of setting, brilliance of the apparition, and elongation of the figure contribute to an other-worldly effect. This is accentuated by the white pain and loose brushstrokes, which suggest rather than define the forms and which the artist learned in Venice. The effect is magnified by the contract with what appears to be a real piece of paper, stuck to the canvas and bearing the words "Domenikos Theotokopoulos Made This" in Greek, expressing El Greco's pride in his origins.
3. WALTEP_090103_643.JPG: Yeah, I know... It's a tapestry, not a painting. Deal with it because I'm too lazy to put it in its correct page.
