I believe the correct answers are: first painting is “A Bar at the Folies-Bergère” by Édouard Manet and second painting is “The Ancient Days” by William Blake.

1. Painting “A Bar at the Folies-Bergère” by French painter Édouard Manet was painted and exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1882. This painting is considered to be the last major work of Manet which depicts a scene in the Folies Bergère nightclub in Paris. Manet was the painter of Realism which can be seen in the detailed representation of a contemporary scene in this painting.

2. Painting “The Ancient Days” by William Blake It draws its name from one of depicts Urizen, embodiment of conventional reason and law, crouching in a circular design with a cloud-like background. The name “The Ancient Days” has its origins in the one of God’s titles in the Book of Daniel and was originally the frontispiece to the work Europe a Prophecy (1794).
