I am amazed by the fascinating collection of the male lead, Oldman. First, let me tell you what I saw.
When I saw the suspense movie coming in, I didn't expect to enter the pit of portrait painting. The collection room of the male protagonist Oldman is densely packed with portraits of women that he has carefully collected, which can be described as a collection of portraits of women. Among them are many famous masterpieces, which shows the unique vision of the male protagonist or the producer, script, and director.
Scanning the camera, I was surprised to find many paintings that I recognized at a glance, I was really excited! for example:
Raphael
"Portrait of a Young Woman" by Raphael. Anyone who knows Raphael will not forget the painting, which, although in the film it is on top of the right wall, appears in the close-up scan.
Angel
Then there's Ingres' "Portrait of the Baroness Rothschild" (top right). The beautiful and elegant Betty de Rothschild is one of Ingres' most accomplished works and is said to be now in a private collection.
That’s right, Ingres is the neoclassical painter who painted the “Grand Palace Maid” (Louvre) with three more vertebrae. I have seen his work because of the “Ingres’ Road to the Master” exhibited in Tianjin. I especially feel that the works in the National Gallery of Art in the United States are also must-sees every time I go, such as "Madame Modesier". He pays special attention to sketches, and in the center of Oldman's collection is a sketch of Madame Modesier's head.
Below is the original sketch and the "Portrait of Madame Modesier" (now in the National Gallery of Art).
The lower left I circled in the screenshot is also a portrait of Ingres for Mrs. Frederic Reiset. The original is as follows:
Bouguereau
This painting is clearly in Bouguereau's style, and his mythological figures are very beautiful. I am very fascinated by his paintings. The original painting is as follows:
Later, Oldman identified "The Birth of Venus". He looked at it with a magnifying glass for a while and asserted: Authentic is the real work.
The original painting is as follows
Rubens
Isn't this Mrs. Rubens? Indeed, and it was painted by Rubens himself.
Rubens often used his wife as a model, and his characters were all red and fleshy. There is a portrait of this lady in the National Gallery of Art in the United States. I am all too familiar with it. This painting is by Van Dyck.
Bronzino
Bronzino's painting is very distinctive, and has a large close-up. This is taken from "Portrait of Eleonore of Toledo and Her Son".
Rossetti
Rossetti's typical work, Woman at the Window (right), was instantly recognizable because of his interest in the Brotherhood after visiting the Manchester Art Gallery, the main collection of the Pre-Raphaelites.
Paul Cezanne
Finally, Oldman brought the wolf into the room, and the fourth painting in his collection appeared on the camera, and I saw Cezanne's wife at a glance. Because I have seen the "Cezanne Portrait Exhibition" and seen many portraits of his wife, to be honest, I don't like Cezanne's request to be as motionless as a still life, and wronged his wife.
Thomas Gainsborough
Next to it should be a painting by Gainsborough, an English painter who likes to paint women with tall wigs. Sure enough, I guessed that "The Woman in Blue" is now in the Hermitage Museum in Russia.
I won't go into detail about the ins and outs of each painting, and interested friends can search for it by themselves.
