these are the collection of the landscape paintings I came across while surfing for inspirations....
I think they are really worth a look...

here are some samples...
the first is really lovely, and...hmmmm, beer ;D
there are 41 paintings in total in the rar file including the 3 displayed here!
May I inquire as to which 19th century artist the three works shown here are by and which software do you require .rar files?
Regards to you.

Or try 7-Zip instead as it's open source and does a better job :P - http://www.7-zip.org/
Quote from: The 7-Zip siteUsually, 7-Zip compresses to 7z format 30-70% better than to zip format. And 7-Zip compresses to zip format 2-10% better than most of other zip compatible programs.

This is the best program for this I've ever used.

They are from Albert Bierstadt
Thank you dhavalmistry, I have now looked him up on Wikipedia and confirmed that indeed he was a 19th century artist but it wasn't hard to tell from the image you posted from the method of execution, compositional arrangement and technique etc that these are 19th century works.
I prefer the Dutch School but my main area of interest lies in the renaissance just my own preference.
Regards to you.

I just got to see a real Bierstadt painting in person on Sunday. Was amazing! :o

Here's another inspirational artist.
Interestingly enough, we talked about the art movement that Bierstadt was a part of in US History: the Hudson River school of art.
I really recommend looking up some of the painters that were also a part of this art movement as they are almost our "ancestors," as they were the original group of landscape artists ;).
