Moore-Mucha

Albert Joseph Moore

Sapphires
This beautifully color-coordinated study has sapphire blue as its theme. A young woman with blue eyes, in a blue tunic, blue-and-orange turban, wearing a pearl necklace with a sapphire centerpiece, stands before a blue-and-orange printed drape. At the edge of the orange and white parquet floor on which she stands, there are blue flowers and an orange butterfly. (Pre-Raphaelite, 1877)

Silver
A young woman in a diaphanous white gown seated on a blue-and-white flowered couch. Behind her is an ornately plastered white wall with Greek motifs, and on a ledge, a silver cup carries the silver theme forward. The floor is also blue and white striped, and the only spots of color are the woman's green cap and a yellow robe bunched up on the small red and brown Oriental rug.

Horace Moore-Jones

Simpson and His Donkey
A portrait of an Austrialian and New Zealand Army Corps medic escorting a wounded soldier riding a donkey along a cliff path back to base at Gallipoli. Although it purports to show John "Murphy" Simpson Kirkpatrick, it is actually based on a photograph of another medic, Richard Henderson, who took over the donkey after Simpson was killed. The full title is "To the memory of our hero comrade 'Murphy' (Simpson) killed May 1915. Heroes of the Red Cross. Private Simpson, D.C.M., & his donkey at Anzac". (1918)

Thomas Moran

Cliffs of the Upper Colorado River, Wyoming Territory
The area of Green River after a storm. A group of Native Americans on horseback by the river are gazing at the dramatic illumination of the cliffs where the sun has broken through the storm clouds. By the time Moran visited, there was a thriving community on this spot thanks to the Union Pacific Railroad, but he preferred to imagine it at an earlier time. (Hudson River School, 1882)

The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone
The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, a large canyon cut by the Yellowstone River in Yellowstone National Park. A waterfall from the plateau splashes in the background and the blue water of the river snakes along the canyon. The thermal activity in the area softened the rock, making it more readily erodible, and changed the colors of the iron in the rocks to the spectacular reds and yellows seen here. (Hudson River School, 1893-1901)

Mountain of the Holy Cross
A mist-shrouded mountain with deep intersecting ravines that form a snowy cross, with wooded slopes and a plunging creek in the foreground.

There is a mountain in the distant West
That, sun-defying, in its deep ravines
Displays a cross of snow upon its side.
- A Cross of Snow, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Located in the Holy Cross Wilderness, the cross can be seen only two or three months of the year and only from certain places. Though the mountain is real, Moran added the creek to improve his picture. (1875)

Paulus Moreelse

Vertumnus and Pomona
In legend, Pomona was a wood nymph whose passion was all for her orchards and vineyards, in which men were not allowed. The god Vertumnus appeared to her in various disguises, finally as an old woman. Here the beautiful Pomona, decked with cherries, grapes, and apples, is holding her trademark pruning knife, as Vertumnus in disguise chides her for her hard-heartedness. He points to a vine twining about a tree, and tells how the tree and vine would each be useless without the other. (Dutch Master, 1625)
