Ary Scheffer French Painter 5 Stars Worthy Review

Ary Scheffer French Painter 5 Stars Worthy Review
by Teresita Blanco

Ary Scheffer was a French painter who liked to paint subjects from literature and from the Bible. He created his own style called frozen classical. Anyhow, the first painting shows the ill fated couple of Paolo and Francesca. Both are being observed by Dante and Virgil. It's part of a scene from Dante's inferno. It is interesting how the scene seems to be frozen in time. Truly, it deserves 5 stars rating.

In this scene, we see a scene from Faust. Here, he is in the garden with the girl he likes. His pet demon and the gardener are sneering at the couple. It is interesting how Faust wears black and his girl white. Needless to say, Faust is trying to woo her. However, she is averting her gaze. Despite all the money she got from the demon, she is still a bit reluctant to be with Faust. Anyhow, this painting by Scheffer deserves 5 stars rating.

Above, we see a painting with a very long French name. It shows ghost going to heaven. Their earthly suffering is being erased as they fly off to heaven. From the ground, the painting looks dark. As the ghost get closer to heaven, their robes become immaculate. This painting by Ary Scheffer deserves 5 stars rating.

In this painting, Macbeth has met the weird witch girls. The way they are flying is pretty neat. They are in the middle of making a prophecy. Macbeth is pointing at himself, doubting his ears. 5 stars for Ary Scheffer.

Most painters have paintings about cute girls. As such, here we see a cute portrait of sorts. The maiden is standing in profile. Her red dress stands out vividly against the sunrise. This warm painting deserves 5 stars rating.

In this painting, some maidens are taking refuge in the shrine of the Virgin Mary. Outside the cave, there are raiders. In no time, they will discover the maidens and all will be over. In any case, this painting deserves 5 stars rating.

In this last painting, Orpheus is sobbing over the body of his beloved. She was struck down by a snake. This image of despair seems to be frozen in time. Truly, Ary Scheffer deserves 5 stars rating.  I hope that you liked this short painting review.
