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.

2009 photos: Equipment this year: I mostly used the Fuji S100fs. I've also got a Nikon D90 and a newer Fuji -- the S200EHX -- both of which are nice but I still prefer the flexibility of the Fuji. Trips this year: Niagara Falls, NY, New York City, Civil War Trust conferences in Gettysburg, PA and Springfield, IL, and my 4th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including Los Angeles, Yosemite, Death Valley, Kings Canyon, Joshua Tree, etc). Ego strokes: I had a picture of a Lincoln-Obama cupcake sculpture published in Civil War Times and WUSA-9, the local CBS affiliate, ran a quick piece on me. A picture that I took at the annual Abraham Lincoln Symposium appeared in the National Archives' "Prologue" magazine. I became a volunteer with the Smithsonian American Art Museum. Number of photos taken this year: 417,000.
