Congratulations to artist Edward F. Howard of California for being the FIRST competitor to correctly identify all 50 artworks in this latest Underpaintings contest, and for knowing that all of these works can be found in the collection of the Musée d'Orsay, in Paris, France. Below is the solution. The titles I have included here are the ones used by the museum, though I accepted answers in english as well.
Thank you to all who entered; I only wish I had duplicates of the prizes to offer all of you who solved this milestone's contest. Best of luck to all of you next time!
The Musée d'Orsay opened in 1986 in Paris, occupying the former Gare d'Orsay railway station on the left bank of the Seine. It's collection of art, all of which was created between the years 1848 and 1915, is remarkable, and the images shown here reflect only a small portion of the works in the museum's collection.

This is a very easy contest to cheat at. All one must do is save the images to their computer, open up Google Chrome, and drag the images to Google Img Search and Google will find the image on the net, usually with Title information, Date, etc.
In the future, if you don't want to deal with that possibility I suggest that you crop parts of the image so that it cannot be searched that way.
Here is a picture of me cheating on this contest, to show you what I mean.
for us who are not so computer literate, this was a great competition if not rather frustrating as i only knew a handful of the paintings. When i read the result and that they were all in Musee D'orsay, i felt like kicking myself as i spent a long time looking at paintings there but couldn't remember if i had seen some of the pieces in my art books or elsewhere.
btw, Richard, thanks for the tip;)
@ Richard Yeah, I knew this one was going to be easier, but I think I will follow your advice on the next competition, or go a totally different direction next time. Aren't there image search engines which can match a picture, even if your sample is cropped?
One of my favorites was nr 5 Léon Agustin Lhermitte when I visit Musée d'Orsay, in Paris. It's a very large painting. Nice to see them "all" back.
> Aren't there image search engines which can match a picture, even if your sample is cropped?
It depends how much you crop. If you only crop a tiny bit, Google might still be able to match it. If you crop it to a third of its original size, I don't think Google could match it yet.
On #24:
Is it just me or does it not look like Jeremy Lipkings latest work "Flor de Muertos"?
Great post. Those are some amazing paintings, great inspiration!
