Go ahead,
look at the painting and try to reinterpret Picasso's ulterior motive, and an insight into his matador's reputation.

30 years ago I was in a poster shop and saw a poster of a beautiful painting....I bought it and a few years later was able to go to a showing of the artist's works...I had a picture taken of me standing in front of the original painting (And was then told "No flash photography" and felt bad)

The painter is Albert Bierstadt....He was painting at the very beginning of the photographic era; The paintings had become excruciatingly realistic.....But when Anyone could take a photo, the Impressionist era began, so for years his paintings were actually looked upon with disdain.

One painting of his that I saw was of a river bank; Trees overhead cast their shadow on the surface of the river- And on the river BOTTOM! To this day I cannot understand what I saw but it left me in awe of his ability.

Here is the original painting that got me hooked- "Among the Sierra Nevada, California";

Realism.
Incredible skills, and to this day still amazes viewers at the artist's ability to move what they see, into, onto a flat canvas.
At the time, his works were not believed, some denying such places could exist in reality, incredulous.
A natural cathedral, the clouds billowing in an exhilarating sky, makes you consider the divine purpose.
The Pearl Girl is a singular masterpiece 356 years later, Verneer has done many others, the Girl in the Red Hat is another I like.
