Mary CassattBest known for her portrayal of domestic scenes as well as the intimate bond between a mother and child, she loved to use bright colors and an unabashed realistic style. She was a leading artist in the Impressionist movement in the latter 1800s and known as one of “les trois grande dames” of Impressionism (along with Berthe Morisot and Marie Bracquemond). In this episode, we talk about Mary Cassatt.2021-02-1221 minMasterpiece Makers22.

In this episode, we're going to talk about Berthe Morisot, one of the most prominent artists of the Impressionist era!2021-01-0718 minMasterpiece Makers21. Pierre-Auguste RenoirHe believed that art should celebrate life, beauty and the joy of each moment. Known for his soft, feathery brush strokes in his colorful paintings, he primarily depicted feminine beauty. But he also painted still lifes, as well as rural and domestic scenes. In this episode, we're going to talk about one of the leading artists of the Impressionist movement, Pierre-Auguste Renoir.2020-12-1818 minMasterpiece Makers20. Claude MonetHe was compelled to capture the constantly changing and atmosphere altering light. The way it cast its beauty on land and water — the way it changed the shades and tones of color in the tiniest of degrees. He and his “rebel” friends would rock the art establishment of the time and forever revolutionize the world of art! In this episode, we'll talk about Claude Monet, the “Father of Impressionism”. 2020-12-1122 minMasterpiece Makers19. Edgar DegasHe was called "the painter of dancers" but it wasn’t the dancers he wanted to capture—it was the movement. From dancers to horse races to scenes of everyday life, he wanted to paint his subjects in an honest, unguarded moment. And although he was instrumental in gathering together a group of artists that would come to be known as the Impressionists, he actually despised the name, preferring to associate himself with Realism instead. In this episode, we're going to learn about Edgar Degas.2020-12-0321 minMasterpiece Makers18. Édouard ManetHe loved the lines and beauty of classical art, yet he wanted to paint that beauty in a modern setting and experiment with his own techniques. And although he desperately wanted his paintings to be exhibited at the Paris Salon, he was continually rejected. Determined to persevere and create the art that was in him, he inspired a new generation of artists and effectively changed art forever. In this episode, we're going to learn about Édouard Manet. 2020-11-2721 minMasterpiece Makers17. John Everett MillaisHe was a child prodigy who, at the age of eleven, became the youngest student to enter London's Royal Academy School of Art.

In this episode, we will learn about John Everett Millais.2020-11-2021 minMasterpiece Makers16. Dante Gabriel RossettiHe was born into an Italian family steeped in a rich cultural and literary heritage which greatly influenced him throughout his life. Often torn between either being an artist or a poet, he chose both.

Henry Osawwa TannerHis mother was born a slave, but escaped to Pennsylvania via the Underground Railroad and was a free woman by the time he was born. And although he wanted to establish himself in the art world, the legacy of slavery overshadowed him. In painting African-American subjects, he wanted to give them a better legacy. In this episode, we'll talk about Henry Ossawa Tanner, and one of his most famous works, The Banjo Lesson.2020-03-1314 minMasterpiece Makers14. Jean-Francois MilletBorn a peasant, he proudly proclaimed that he would die a peasant. All he had ever known was rural country life, hard-working farmers toiling over the earth.

In this episode, we'll talk about Jean-Francois Millet, as well as his most famous work, The Gleaners. 2020-03-0717 minMasterpiece Makers13.

Francisco de GoyaDescribed as one of the old masters by some, and the first modern painter by others, this artist is truly in a class all by himself. Though he began during the Rococo period, despised the Neoclassical style, and was labeled as a Romanticist, he created in a style that was his alone. In this episode, we talk about Francisco de Goya and one of his most famous works, The Third of May, 1808.2020-03-0118 minMasterpiece Makers11. Angelica KauffmanIn the 1770s, a London engraver remarked, "The whole world is Angelicamad," about a Swiss artist. This was a woman who followed her passion and was so good at what she did that she practically became a celebrity in her day. She was a woman in a man's world, but she didn't let that stop her from following her dreams and fulfilling them. In this episode, we're going to talk about Angelica Kauffman, and one of her most famous paintings, Cornelia, Mother of the Gracci.2020-02-1414 minMasterpiece Makers10. Jacques-Louis DavidReferred to as a "political chameleon," he painted whatever the man in power at the time wanted.

In this episode, we'll talk about Jacques-Louis David, the most famous artist of the Neoclassical period, as well as one of his most famous works, The Emperor Napoleon in His Study at the Tuileries.2020-02-0719 minMasterpiece Makers9.

In this episode, we will talk about Jean-Honoré Fragonard, and one of his most famous works, Young Girl Reading.2020-02-0514 min
