Once again it is time to focus on letter of the week for ABC Wednesday. This week our letter is R.
Continuing with the artist theme, I was actually really surprised at the number of "R"artists. Here are a few:
Rembrandt: - the 17th Dutch artist
Renoir: -the French painter
Sir Joshua Reynolds: - the 18th century English portrait painter
Rodin: -the sculptor, most famous for his "Thinker"
Rubens: -17th century Flemish painter of the Baroque era
Rousseau: -a Post-Impressionist painter, well known for his primitive style
and of course:
Norman Rockwell: -the popular 20th century American painter and illustrator, most famous for his covers for "The Saturday Evening Post"
Be sure to visit the great participants here.

Another great group of painters, Bev! Definitely some of my favorites here, but then there always are!! Great artists for the R Day! Hope your week is going well! Enjoy!

know them all - Reynolds least well.
Rodin you just HAVE to see in person; photos do not do the sculpture justice.
I've been to the Rockwell museum in new england; great place.

So wonderful that you included Norman Rockwell, Bev. He wasn't Rembrandt or Renoir, but he certainly had a devoted following, and probably still does.
A very artistic post for R day.

Love the way you remind us of all the different artists and their styles. thanks for sharing the Rtists.
What a great - and original - take on the letter 'R'! Plenty of Rtists with R names as you say!
I always rather liked Rodin's Kiss, and as for the others, well, isn't it odd how you can almost tell the artist's nationality from the style he used?
On behalf of the team, thanks for taking part in ABC Wednesday this week! :)
Their names all begin with R but after that thee various artists are certainly very different form each other.
I'm particularly fond of both Rodin and Rockwell...enjoying this artists from a to z!
