The most romantic of holidays, of course, is Valentine’s Day and when you want to set the mood to a passionate, amorous atmosphere, the Samsung Art Store converts your television screen into a lovely stroll for two through a carefully curated gallery of affection and emotion as depicted by the great masters.
The Love is in the Air Collection features seven artworks by artists including Van Gogh, Manet, Tissot, each one a compelling and timeless meditation on love, romance, and relationships. The originals hang in the halls of prestigious art museums and galleries worldwide, but with your Samsung The Frame TV and a subscription to the Samsung Art Store, they can now hang on the wall of your home for Valentine's Day.
These are the seven masterworks that make up the Love is in the Air collection, available only in the Samsung Art Store:
The Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam displays one of the most extensive collections of Van Gogh’s masterworks in the world. This work can be found among them, a scene depicting a pair of couples walking and conversing together among a lush background of chestnut trees in the Square Saint-Pierre, an urban garden centered near the Montmartre district in Paris. Van Gogh’s technique in this piece is demonstrative of the influence that contemporaries like Claude Monet and Georges Seurat had on his style during this period, using a series of dots to portray the image. Van Gogh adapted this technique with tiny brushstrokes of different lengths to give the work a signature quality that was all his own.
One of the three works in the Love is in the Air collection currently housed in the Tate Britain in London, United Kingdom, Portsmouth Dockyard has long been considered among Tissot’s masterworks. Depicting a level of realism in detail and the complexity of composition, the piece is simple yet elegant as a man and two women are seated side-by-side on a rowboat with a naval warship in the background. The man dressed in full uniform of a Scottish military regiment of the time, seated between two women and the viewer is left to speculate on the relationship of the three individuals and the reason they are crossing the water in a rowboat in which it seems the viewer is the one rowing them to their destination.
Painted towards the end of the 19th century, this piece demonstrates Post-Impressionist techniques that were favored by Denis and the collective of artists in which he was considered a central and inspirational member, the Nabis. Their focus was to infuse spiritual and emotional context into decorative and mainstream works. The piece can be found in The State Hermitage Museum, Saint Petersburg, Russia, and it depicts that ultimate gesture of commitment and dedication to a partner - a wedding day taking place in a beautiful forest, bursting with color and intensity of symbolism.
An enigmatic and charming piece that can be found in the collection of the Alte Nationalgalerie in Berlin, Germany, Manet’s work has long been a source of debate as to the condition of the subjects portrayed and the meaning behind their interaction or, perhaps, lack thereof. What is not in dispute is the identity of Manet’s subjects, depicting one of Manet’s close friends, Jules Guillemet with his long-time wife, Madame Guillemet. Viewing the work in full leads the viewer to wonder just what is the nature of their relationship: Are they in love? Are they reaching the end of their romance? Or has Manet captured the expressions and mannerisms of two people who have grown together and find comfort in just being near one another? The enigmatic characteristics of the couple can spark a thousand different interpretations.
Similar to Maurice Denis and the Nabis, Peder Severin Kroyer belonged to another influential cadre of painters who were inspired not by a specific discipline, but instead the beauty and magic of a town in their homeland. The Skagen Painters found their collective insight and encouragement in Skagen, a small fishing town located in the North of Denmark. In this piece, Kroyer depicts himself with his lovely wife, Marie and their dog, Rap, as the three are enjoying a romantic evening along the shoreline. This piece is currently hanging in the Skagens Museum, located in that very same town in Denmark, the museum paying homage to Kroyer and the many other members of the Skagen Painters collective.
The first thing you may notice about this work from Samuel Palmer is the contrast between the name of the piece and its appearance. The monochrome motif blends well with the depiction of a calm, almost idyllic, countryside with a young couple enjoying each other’s warm company beneath a large cloud that seems to overwhelm the image. Palmer was one of the main leaders of the Romantic movement in the UK and their works were motivated by an ever-present deep spiritual harmony between man and nature. This composition of the young lovers placed beneath the immensity of the cloud that overpowers the sheep, the trees, and the small rustic dwellings erected by man’s own hand are examples of this connection.
Steer’s work is also located at the Tate and the influences of the impressionists Monet and Renoir are on clear display here. The painting is simple, perhaps even quaint to some, as a man and woman appear to be having a conversation as the woman looks out at the water and the boats gathered along the shoreline. There are many questions about who they are and what they mean to one another, which is among the criticisms the painting received upon its exhibition in 1887. Criticized as ‘mere midsummer madness’ and a ‘deliberate daub’, the work was dismissed for being too simplistic and lacking detail, and this public disapproval of the piece nearly became too much for Steer to bear, prompting him to consider retiring from the form. But his perseverance and commitment to his craft lead to him becoming one of the more preeminent impressionists in Britain.
We would all love to take a date to Berlin or the United Kingdom or Amsterdam to explore these and other fine art. Consider Palmer’s The Bright Cloud, for instance. If you wanted to look at this masterpiece, you would have to travel to the Tate Britain where it is available to view by appointment only.
