MOST FAMOUS ART MASTERPIECES IN FRANCE & SPAIN
Thought the elements are, indeed the same, with the princess, the ladies in waiting, the figure on the stairs in the hallway at the back, and the famous easel with a canvas facing away from us, it takes a couple looks to realize the pieces are even related in any way. The painting can be seen in the Picasso Museum, which holds many more of his paintings and information of his story, in Barcelona, Spain. The masterpiece is larger than most people think, at 3.
It is a powerful, striking piece produced as a result of the German Nazi bombing of a small Basque town in the North of Spain, Guernica, during the Spanish Civil war in , just 2 years before the official start of the Second World War. One of the most lavishly illustrated Ottonian manuscripts, it was produced at the Abbey of Echternach under the direction of Abbot Humbert. The refined Echternach style of painting is characterized by rich colouring, clear shapes and careful accentuation of the figures, interpreting the art of the Master of Trier with considerable originality.
The Echternach illuminators drew on the style and iconography of much older works found in the libraries of Trier and Reichenau. It is now in the German National Museum in Nuremberg.

He is remembered above all for his lithographs of scenes throughout the Grand Duchy and for his oil painting of the City of Luxembourg. His most famous work is his view of the City of Luxembourg from the Fetschenhof, which he drew, painted and lithographed in It shows the city when the demolition of the fortress had just begun. Despite his attempt to emphasise the fortifications by exaggerating the height of the cliffs and the railway bridge, the painting is a good representation of the city and its skyscape.
Michel Engels — was an illustrator, painter and art teacher who is principally remembered for his sketches of the fortifications of Luxembourg City although he also painted a few watercolours. In the 19th century, two well-known foreigners made important contributions to the art of Luxembourg.

His portraits, painted with strong brushstrokes, typically show figures with excessively large noses, sometimes looking like despairing clowns, but always attracting attention. His painting of "Luxembourg", commissioned for the World Exposition in Paris is a good example of his Expressionist style with the houses stacked behind one another, the cubic form of the buildings and the exaggerated strength of the fortifications, so different from J.
Turner 's representation of almost the same scene. He was one of the founders of the Luxembourg secessionist movement. Another notable painter was the Impressionist Dominique Lang — whose paintings became increasingly uplifting, full of bright light and often depicting a young woman clothed in white.
