#4 looks familiar as to the style. But I have zero recollection of the artist...
Thanks for posting!

Yes, #4 is familiar territory for street scenes...

(63,926 posts)I had the feeling that there would be Thibaud followers here. He is singular.
Are you a big fan of his?

(63,926 posts)I was in NYC last week at the Neue Galerie for the Klimt. Saw Adele Bloch Bauer (it's in the permanent collection now but there were other works of his on loan for this show). What a sweet day in my favorite big city...

CTyankee
(63,926 posts)They had it behind glass, so I am assuming it is fragile. Of course, it had a pretty dicey history at one point...do you know why it landed in the Neue Galerie? Interesting court case...

(21,931 posts)Richard Estes? He does all that amazing realistic painting.
CTyankee
(63,926 posts)How well do you know his stuff and photorealism?
I just can't believe it's a painting...

(63,926 posts)painting a photograph so realistically...I don't doubt that there is an aesthetic reasoning behind it, tho...

(63,926 posts)thing and one that speaks to urban detachment. There's another work in this Challenge that is the complete opposite of this aesthetic and it is interesting...

(944 posts)#4 is Boulevard des Italiens by French impressionist Gustave Caillebotte.
The small piece of wrought iron balcony on the right was the clue for me that this was "that French guy who painted from Paris balconies," Caillebotte.
Caillebotte was a patron and promoter of French impressionist painters as well as being a wonderful artist himself.

(10,178 posts)I'd probably have trouble with "The Mona Lisa" and "The Last Supper". LOL
I love these Friday posts,though.Never too old to learn.
CTyankee
(63,926 posts)Oh, I am sure you would have not trouble with your renaissance works!
Any other guesses?

Childe Hassam -- The Chinese Merchants, painted in Portland, Oregon.
Nice hint. Had to be Childe Hassam.
