Three museum quality reproductions of master pieces
Edgar DeGas
The Ballet Class
Painted between 1871 and 1874, this painting illustrates DeGas' fascination of the hard work it took to become a ballerina. He painted more paintings of rehearsals than performances. "Dance is poerty with arms and legs...." Like Michelangelo and Mantegna, De Gas was intrigued by the human capacity for martyrdom. the original of this work hangs at the Musee d'Orsay, Paris France.
Leonardo da Vinci
The Virgin and Child with St Anne and St. John the Baptist (The Burlington House Cartoon)
The original was completed in charcoal and black and white chalk, on eight sheets of paper that were glued together, and thus presumed to be a cartoon for a painting. No painting exists by Leonardo that is based directly on this cartoon, but the inspiration may be seen in later paintings. The only extant larger-scale drawing of this reproduction currently hangs in the National Gallery in London.
Claude Monet
"Nymphaes," part of the artist's water lilies series. Monet painted approximately 250 paintings of his water lily pond, many of which hang at the Musee de l'Orangerie. The original of this piece sold at an auction in 2014 for 27 million, and now hangs in the private gallery of that successful Asian bidder.

The SPCA St. John's is an adoption-focused agency helping homeless cats and dogs find happy beginnings. We also work to encourage and assist with spaying and neutering across the Avalon Peninsula, helping make animal homelessness a thing of the past.
All the work we do is based upon the Five Freedoms of Animal Welfare, which states that an animal's primary welfare needs can be met if five basic freedoms are followed; 1) Freedom from hunger and thirst, 2) Freedom from discomfort, 3) Freedom from pain, injury, or disease, 4) Freedom to express normal behaviour, 5) Freedom from fear and distress.
Our vision is communities where companion animals thrive with respect, love and wellbeing. The SPCA St. John's provides leadership, education and a consistent voice on matters that promote and improve the welfare of animals. We care for and shelter companion animals in need, prevent cruelty and encourage responsible pet ownership.
The funds raised through this auction will enable us to provide the necessary medical care for our shelter animals. All animals in our care receive a veterinary health check, are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, flea & worm treated, microchipped, and all cats are FIV/FELV tested. Some animals entering our care also require extensive dental surgeries, medications and testing for skin and food allergies, along with emergency veterinary care. These funds will also assist with these unexpected costs.
