   Your art history post for today: “View of Venice,” by Norwegian painter Frits Thaulow (1847-1906), oil on canvas, 82 by 66cm., 32¼ by 26in., Sotheby’s London listing 30 May 2008. #arthistory

   Information on the artist from another institution, Christie’s: “As brother-in-law to Paul Gauguin and a close friend of Claude Monet, Thaulow was certainly attuned to the currents of Impressionism. Throughout his career, his own style was in constant evolution and he always kept abreast of new stylistic developments and pictorial innovations. He was strongly influenced by Carl Skanberg's innovative use of color, which later encouraged the artist to adopt a wider chromatic palette. It is no surprise that his own work displays impressionistic tendencies, particularly evident in the rippling effect of the water and the reflective play of light upon the river.”
