19th Century Art Sales and Auctions

Edward Robert Hughes-Young Beauty

Well the East Coast is in full swing and it looks like 19th Century Art has fully made its comeback.
May 9th is New York Sotheby's 19th Century European Art Auction (bi-annual, apparently) and it's chock full of all manner of big names you'll recognize, including Gerome, Bouguereau, Breaton, Trissot, Sorrolla, Courbet, Burne-Jones, Alma-Tadema, Dulac and many more. I'm wishing I was in NYC for the preview of course, but a scroll through the printable catalogue will have to do. The Auction is May 9th.

Also happening, Christie's 19th Century Painting Sale at the Rockafeller Center, April 29th (over, but you can check the art online and there's a downloadable PDF of the catalogue as well.)

London Sotheby's Orientalist Painting Sale, was April 23rd, but images of the works are also still available online and printable if you sign up for their site. They also have a 19th Century Painting Auction coming up May 23rd that has different paintings than the NY Show; view those works online as well.

Here's a few of my favorites. Now, if I only had a couple hundred extra grand to spare!
