The Virgin and Child
The Virgin and Child Enthroned (~1415) by Lorenzo Monaco. I like the throne.

The Virgin and Child with two angels (1470-1480) by Ferrarese School. Notice the illusionistic painted frame. And I love the black angel wings. So goth!

Stormy sea

An allegory
An allegory (1590) by El Greco, Domenikos Theotokopoulos. A very unusual painting, probably illustrating "the simple moralising message that lust appeals to our foolish and baser instincts".

Église Sainte-Marie-Madeleine in Biot
A very interesting church as you have to walk down to enter it. But there is a limited amount of asymmetry I can handle - and a main entrance that is off is just too off for me :-)
