Georges Landelle (1860-1899)? - Dragonfly Fairy (official title unknown) (1890), upscaled and colorized
More Victorian erotica in which mythology provides all the excuse the artist needs for nudity. Original greyscale version here.
This is a photo of a painting I found online and applied the usual cleanups to before upscaling with Bigjpg AI Image Enlarger. and colorized using DeepAI Image Colorization API. (These are not paid endorsements, but if they're interested they may feel free to contact me.)
The colorization needed a bit of work, and if you look carefully you can see where I've digitally "repainted" a few patches, but I think the final result looks great.
Having previously been confused by the artist's signature, I believe it may belong to Georges Landelle, a French artist with very little biographical data online except the dates bearing witness to a tragically short life.
However, I've only come across a couple of Landelle's paintings, neither of them nudes; one of them had a clear signature, but it didn't look much like the one on this painting. For this reason, the attribution must remain conjectural in the absence of further proof.
