Le balcon de Jaurès (circa 1915)

Henri Martin (French, 1860–1943)

A woman leans on the balcony railing, bathed in the soft glow of evening. The city stretches below, its rooftops dissolving into hazy blues and purples. Light catches the folds of her dress, blending with the dreamlike brushstrokes of the scene—quiet, intimate, suspended in twilight.
Cottage (1932)

Zygmunt Waliszewski (Polish, 1897–1936)

A thatched roof sags under the weight of time, its wooden beams bowing like tired shoulders. Smoke curls from a crooked chimney, dissolving into the gray sky. The cottage stands stubborn against the wind, its walls holding stories in every crack.
Santa Maria Della Salute, Venice

Konstantin Ivanovich Gorbatov (Russian, 1876–1945)

Gondolas glide past Santa Maria della Salute’s white domes, their reflections trembling in the canal. Sunlight catches the church’s baroque curves, turning stone to gold against Venice’s watery blues. The city breathes here—salt air, lapping waves, centuries of footsteps echoing across marble steps.
Landscape with Cottage

Frederic Charles Vipond Ede (American, unknown)

A thatched cottage nestles among rolling hills, its stone walls softened by time. Smoke curls from the chimney into a pale sky. The scene breathes quiet solitude—no figures, just wind through grass and the weight of centuries in those weathered beams.
Mädchen im Garten einer Villa (1900)

Julius Victor Berger (German, unknown)

A girl stands in dappled sunlight, the villa’s garden alive around her—loose brushstrokes blur flowers into whispers of color. Her dress catches the breeze, half-turned as if she might step out of the frame.
A Cottage In Gastein, Austria ( 1912)

Peder Mørk Mønsted (Danish, unknown)

Snow blankets the Austrian hillside, muffling the world. Smoke curls from the cottage chimney, a thin gray thread against the crisp white. The frozen stream glints under pale sunlight, its surface cracked like old porcelain. Warm light glows behind frosted windows—a quiet defiance against winter’s grip.
Hütte auf der Waucha-Alm (1910)

Georg Holub (Austrian, 1861–1919)

A lone hut clings to the alpine slope, its weathered wood blending into the rocky outcrops. Thin mountain air sharpens the crisp lines of the roof against the sky. No people—just the quiet endurance of a structure built to outlast storms and seasons in this harsh, beautiful place.
Summer in the garden of the artist’s villa on Lake Starnberg (1920)

Edward Cucuel (American, 1875–1954)

Dappled sunlight filters through leafy branches, casting shifting patterns across the garden path. A villa’s warm stone walls peek between the trees, while beyond, the lake shimmers in the distance. Loose brushstrokes capture the lazy hum of summer—the scent of warm grass, the whisper of leaves in the breeze.
A Coign of Vantage (1895)

Lawrence Alma-Tadema (English, 1836–1912)

Two women on a sunlit marble balcony, absorbed in a distant view, framed by intricate Roman details.
