I'm looking for a list of the most recognizable well known great images, objects and paintings of the art world (of all times) ? that are water related (sea, river, ocean, wave, vessel, cloud, snow etc...) I need a central list with images of this sort. This is for a presentation. Most important is that all work (painting, sculpture, architechture, design) would be recognized as an art object or painting that the average educated person has seen multiple times before(masterpieces by famous artists, famous icons of culture)and include water in some form. Oftentimes these art objects, crafts of ancient civilizations or paintings are the classical representation of a genre or era. Already have done extensive research and found familiar images. Familiar with waterhistory.org and others, but am looking for new goldmine. Example of a good image: Waterhouse, Hylas and the Nymphs, water lilies by Monet, Mona Lisa by Da Vinci. | |

This will be an interesting project for someone. Since that bit of water in the distance behind Mona Lisa seems to count, perhaps we need some finer definition. Water just in its place in nature? Or also in an interior situation? And how important to the theme of the piece should water be? (Doesn't seem very important in Mona Lisa) |

Teytan, This is less than half the exercise since you want images, and I have been just browsing Google Images for ideas, but the images themselves may be inadequate. And in some cases, I have just named themes or artists with the hope that you could then better choose items that you feel are well enough recognized. Winslow Homer: Breezing up a fair, The gulf stream, and many others Bather OR bath, also Rodin?s Bather (but there is a limit to how many you need) September Morn by Paul Chabas Katsushika Hokusai The Great Wave (famous Japanese Woodcut artist) Boticelli?s Venus (on the half-shell) JMW Turner?s many seascapes, also paintings of London and Venice Venice, Canaletto casper david friedrich (German artist of several pictures with sea or ice or snow) The little Mermaid statue (in Copenhagen. Didn?t find her or really look) Gustave Courbet, The Source, Stormy Sea (aka The Wave) Ingres, La Source Lucas Cranach; Nymph at the Source Pieter Bruegel, the elder, Winter Landscape with a Bird Trap (skating scene) Edvard Munch, Summer Night at the Beach, Young Girl on a Jetty, The Scream, And others Fountains: of Trivi, in the Garden of Villa d?Este and many others in Italy and elsewhere, Mennekin Pis in Brussels, the Lion Fountain in the Alhambra in Spain, Neptune, fountains, and paintings Thomas Eakin, The Biglin Brothers turning the Stake (rowing in Philadelphia), and other rowing paintings N C Wyeth?s illustrations, maybe not so classic, but well recognized Claude Monet?s paintings of the Houses of Parliament with the Thames and fog. (one found with search on FOG) Gustave Doré, The Flood, Water temples in Japan and one on Bali http://jossefordart.typepad.com/art_journeys_and_conversa/2005/01/ scroll down to Peter Paul Rubens?s ?The Union of Earth and Water? Lionel Feininger did some paintings with sailing vessels, but I didn?t find one. I feel a lot has still been missed. Please don?t close the question without giving a Researcher a chance to help you with pinning down images or expanding on the selection. Regards, Myoarin |

Here's a famous one: Géricault's "The Raft of the Medusa." http://www.answers.com/topic/the-raft-of-the-medusa |

Dear myoarin-ga, Thank you - I will have a look at the titles you've sent. You are right probably many have been missed. The famous japanese wave is a really good one - perhaps the best example for what I am looking for, as anybody would recognise that one, has seen it somewhere, on a postcard, poster etc... I am looking for a site or sites which could offer such a list. Otherwise I think what's missing are also objects which are not necessarily paintings (installations, sculpture, ancient objects of cultures, architecture) All in all I am hoping to have 50 titles. The best would be as mentioned, a site which offers lists. But would be also happy with more titles. |
