Portrait of Three ChildrenRembrandt Peale
1808
It must be my interest in photography that has lead to a recent interest in art. I am also a self indulger of all things unknown to me.
OK - so one might wonder how I came across this. I just received the recent Martha Stewart Living September issue (yeah I know!). At the beginning of the issue there was a article in the section "My Home to Yours" featuring Guy Wolff Pottery. Mentioned in that article was early American painting "Rubens Peale With a Geranuim" painted by Rembrandt Peale.
Being the Internet junkie that I am, I had to see this Geranium picture. This lead to further investigation, hence the "Portrait of Three Children". The Peale Family was an amazing talented family.
Guy Wolff Pottery is GREAT too, check it out.
May we never stop thirsting for knowledge.
