Dante and Beatrice
2011-03-08
Below are the web sites on the painting. In error, I referred to this image as a tapestry in my previous comment, and it actually is from the oil painting by the Englishman Henry Holiday done in 1883. I have the tapestry based on this painting. Also, the tapestry was more likely done in France not Belgium.
See the following on the original painting:

This tapestry was made by a Jacquard tapestry making machine in the early 1900s probably in Belgium and possibly in France. It is based on Henry Holiday's painting (1883) that hangs in the Walker Museum in Liverpool, England. To read more about the painting you can google Henry Holiday or the Walker Museum and to learn more about Jacquard tapestry method google that as well. Recently, June 2010, this tapestry sold at auction for $500.

The Meeting
2011-03-08
I have an 8x7 copy of this painting that I found in a scrap book that dates back 60 years. It was connected to page 10 of what appears to have been part of a booklet. Page 10 describes "The Meeting", and gives some bio on Marie Bashkirseff.PP 10 is frayed on the edges, but the copy of the painting is in excellent condition. Does this have any value. To the left of the 10, ti has F.P. Series IL.

The Meeting

This wonderful painting of Parisian street life is in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, where unfortunately it is hung too high, particularly when it is a picture of school children. Another copy is in Nice,at the Jules Cheret Musée des Beaux Arts, although not currently on display. However, there are other fine pictures by Marie Bashkirtseff there and well worth a visit.

Thank you for such an interesting puzzle today! I've really enjoyed working the puzzles the last few days. I make the pieces as small as I can and that makes for a more interesting experience as well. Thanks again and Merry CHRISTmas!!

Thank you for having some different pictures to work as jigsaw puzzles. I appreciate all the pictures you and your family have taken all over the world, but I'm a little tired of seeing them! I work a jigsaw every morning and appreciate a little variety, such as this one, or paintings, etc. Although I haven't been doing them much lately as I've seen all of them. Thank you for what you do in providing these jigsaws.

Bautiful painting.
Can somebody tell me, why I can not see the larger image? It says I don't have permission.
When you click the image or the link to "View larger images", the larger image should display in a separate window. If there is a permission problem, it is in your browser, not the website. - Elton

Hope
2010-05-24
Hi I also have an 'original' painting after the Hope in the Tate gallery. This was given to my husbands grand father on the occasion of his marraige in the early 1900's by the King Williams Town brass band (South Africa) I saw the second version 2 weeks ago in the Tate but also saw the one that is in private collection in 2002. Who knows what the value of these 'copies' are?
