The second one is Picasso and the third is Monet. Paintings in the same year, perhaps? Some such similarity?

In the same museum? Sold for some amazing amount? Stolen at the same time?

Ideas?

[Cool idea, dc!]

MM: I got that far by myself, but am going to guess based on my reading about those two paintings.....

The subject in each picture was painted a few times.

Monet painted Rouen cathedral in many different lights (full sun, dawn, etc.)

The man in the Picasso was a good friend and appears in a few of Picasso's paintings. 

First one is Ginevra de' Benci by Da Vinci and wikipedia says this about the subject "According to Giorgio Vasari, Ginevra de' Benci was also included in the fresco by Domenico Ghirlandaio of the Visitation of Mary and Elizabeth in the church of Santa Maria Novella in Florence."

The other one, I'm still working on......

ETA: Picasso and Monet were hardly contempories, so that shoots "same year"

Thanks! I've wanted to do an image-based quartet ever since they enabled images, but it took me a while to solve a quartet.

Yes, and the museum is . . . ?

There's a hint in my nick.

Going nuts trying to get artist/title/subject on 4th one.  Be so kind.......


From the NGA site:

Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres (artist)
French, 1780 - 1867
Madame Moitessier, 1851
oil on canvas
Overall: 147 x 100 cm (57 7/8 x 39 3/8 in.) framed: 176.5 x 131.4 x 8.9 cm (69 1/2 x 51 3/4 x 3 1/2 in.)
Samuel H. Kress Collection
1946.7.18
On View
Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, a student of David, promulgated his master's neoclassical aesthetic throughout his long and very successful career. Ingres espoused the supremacy of line over color, the study of antique sculpture, and the value of drawing after the live model, principles he perfected in his expressive use of line to define form.

Madame Moitessier, the daughter of a wealthy government official and wife of a lace merchant, is shown in three-quarter length against a magenta damask background. She wears a black velvet evening dress with a white lace band at the top which is overlaid with a black lace shawl. The black dress and her skin offset her glistening jewels. The surface is finely finished, and the brushstroke almost invisible.

Ingres has simplified Madame Moitessier's features, recalling a Greco-Roman ideal. Her hairstyle and the decorative halo of roses further accentuate the fact that her face is perfectly oval and her features symmetrical. The sitter's body is rather flat, thus emphasizing that the figure-ground relationship is a play between lines and shapes. Ingres, by exploiting the curvilinear possibilities of the female form, has transformed Madame Moitessier into a monumental vision of ideal beauty.

Status: offline 		dc,  THANKS!  BTW, good thing I guessed what you had in mind!

My first guess: :subject painted multiple times" was dead on!  A much-more specific quartet.

You see, Ingres painted her twice!  The other portrait is in the British National Gallery as seen here:

Status: offline 		Aylee: certainly not a very specific commonality (even if true. Elvis was married but once.)
dc: certainly not a very specific commonality (even if true. "Elizabeth Taylor" is her given name.)

ETA: BIG hints, because this is a subtle commonality! Not a common person (that I know of), not a common place, not a common thing (like good luck charm, that Aylee had above.)
