13 - Artist - Auguste Renoir
15 - Artist - Pablo Picasso
17 - Title - Venus and Mars (?)
18 - Artist - Sir William Russel Flint
21 - Artist - Diego Velasquez - Pope Innocent X

A great effort all the way from Guernsey, stormin !
A half-point each for 13 Renoir and 15 Picasso. And the full point for 21 Pope Innocent X by Velazquez.
Not the correct title given for 17 however.
And with 18 you are I believe referring to a very similar painting called Variations VI (a study in ballet dancers by Sir William Russell Flint) but it is slightly different as you can see !

Immaculate answers Tony, you now take the lead.

1. Barbelman 3pts
2. Stormin' 2pts

[WolfLord]

13.The First Outing (At The Theatre) 1877
15.Woman Seated 1908

Two good half-points for Wolfman. The French title for the Renoir by the way is "La Premiere Sortie" but it's one and the same.

Leaderboard:
1. Barbelman 3pts

3. Wolfman 1pt

We're exactly 50% there.
Here's some cryptic clues to help this one along a bit:

14. Rope and T Ford.
16. Abandon hope.
19. Wine god.
20. Iberian Royal household.
22. Laughing Cavalier's sister.
23. In The Graduate.

Well I can't leave it going indefinitely, so this one closes only half-answered. Do I detect a slight weakness in the supreme general knowledge of our forum members ? You've answered on all my other subjects with apparent economy of effort.

The missing answers:
14) The Painter And His Model (Matisse)
16) The Inscription Over Hell Gate (William Blake)
19) Bacchus And Ariadne (Titian) :o :o :o(surprised nobody got it)
20) The Family Of Charles IV of Spain (Goya)
22) Portrait Of A Woman (Franz Hals)
23) Mrs Robinson (Gainsborough)

Will leave Quiz III open, in case anyone feels disposed to salvage the reputation of any of our members with an artistic bent. ;D ;D ;D
