Egyptian Fayum Portraits of the Ptolemaic Period - 332-30 BC. To music from Michael Atherton's album "Ankh - The Sound of Ancient Egypt." The Ptolemaic Kingdom was founded by Ptolemy and ended with the death of Cleopatra VII and the Roman conquest in 30 BC. Fayum portraits were painted on wooden panels and mounted into the bands of cloth of a mummy so that they showed over the face area. They were either done in encaustic (wax) or in tempera. There have been around 900 portraits found, often still retaining their bright colors.

http://www.henrylivingston.com/writing/prose/revdiary.htm http://www.henrylivingston.com/music Major Henry Livingston, Jr. (1744-1828), my 5th great grandfather, went with his cousin's husband, Major General Richard Montgomery, on the 1775 invasion of Canada. These were short term enlistments, so he became major of the 3rd NY in August and returned home in late December. The diary is shown along with the Hudson River School's images of the terrain. The music was transcribed from Henry Livingston's handwritten music manuscript, one of the largest such books of the period.

The religious paintings of Jacopo Bellini (1400-1470), his sons Giovanni (1430-1516) and Gentile (1429-1507), his son-in-law Andrea Mantegna (1431–1506), his student Giorgione (1477-1510), and Giorgione's student, Titian (ca1490-1576). The music is from Spem in Alium by Thomas Tallis (1505-1585), a British composer.

To Joan Baez singing Villa Lobos' Bachianas Brasileiras. Strange goes with strange. Kate Sage was married to Yves Tanguy, but I have to admit I like her work better than his.

For Captain Compassion. Quintessence Saxophone Quintet playing the Fudge Fugue in G minor. Roughly chronological for the Art History buffs. Gustav Klimt was an Austrian painter who did ceilings and walls of museums and theaters, as well as amazing portraits. There's an eroticism to his work that might not appeal to all, but his "golden phase" is breathtaking.
-
Roughly chronological, for the art history buffs among us. Dutch/British Academic painter. Music by the Quintessence Saxophone Quintet. I also used this music for the paintings of Franz Marc.

Two of the Academic painters who were at the center of European Academy Art, against which the Pre-Raphaelites and Impressionists were rebelling – Charles Carolus-Duran (1837-1917) and Fritz Zuber-Buhler (1822-1896). The Carolus-Duran paintings are roughly chronological, but Zuber-Buhler seems not to have kept good enough records or dated his paintings, so those are random. Done to Andre Segovia’s Bach – 3 Pieces from Violin Partita No-1, Bourree.

For IronJack. Mozart's Symphony 33 in A, KV319 - 3, Menuetto. John Elliot Gardner. Roughly chronological. Consider it a small bite of art history. A child prodigy, Millais was sent to art school at the age of 9 and entered Academic training at 11. At that young age, he was already winning awards for his figures and his composition. His portraiture includes a wide range of political, religious and noble figures. He was made a Baronet for his work.

For jmacusa. A roughly chronological rendering of the paintings and drawings of Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828-1882), one of the Pre-Raphaelites, to Bach’s Concerto for 3 Harpsichords in C major; Gustav Leonhardt; Herbert Tachezi.

One minute in length. Thanks to lee martell for the suggestion.

Franz Marc was a German Expressionist whose early work has the more traditional French Impressionist feel. He specialized in animals, and his work runs from representational to almost totally abstract. During World War I he was assigned to painting camouflage for military bases. He was on a list of people of talent to be pulled from the front line when he was killed at the Battle of Verdun. The music is Bach. On saxophone.

Telemann Concerto in D Major for 3 Trumpets Turner from 1796-1825 Purcell Trumpet Tune and Air Turner from 1826-1850
-
Telemann's Concerto in D Major for 3 Trumpets – 4th Movement, Pesto. These paintings were done when Turner was between 12 and 20 years old (1787-1795). The self portraits show him at 15 and 16. Evident in this roughly chronological exposition is his academic and architectural training, with early traces of what will eventually become Turner’s style as pre-impressionist Painter of Light.

Roughly chronological, so great for art history buffs. What I found surprising in making this video is that there doesn't seem to be a great change in his art over his career. There are elements of his later style to be found in his earliest work, and I found no studies of the work of later artists, as is more common in academically trained artists. Henri Rousseau is mostly known for his jungle paintings, but the majority of his work is landscape. He's self taught and is often classed in the primitive category, but if you look at his portraiture...
