- The Virgin and Child
The Virgin and Child Enthroned (~1415) by Lorenzo Monaco. I like the throne. - Three legends of St Nicholas
Three legends of St Nicholas (1500-1520) by Gerard David. In this painting, he is saving three impoverished girls from prostitution by giving money for their dowries. - The Virgin and Child
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! - An allegory of melancholy
An allegory of melancholy (1528) by Lucas Cranach, detail. This is a group of witches riding in the sky (a boar, a cow, a cat? ...) - Twins Clara and Albert de Bray
Twins Clara and Albert de Bray (1646) by Salomon de Bray. The children of the artist's nephew. Apparently portraits of living babies were highly unusual there and then. - Stormy sea
Stormy sea (1650-1652) by Philips Wouwerman. - 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". - Gianlorenzo Bernini
Portrait of Gianlorenzo Bernini (1675) by Giovanni Battista Gaulli, Baciccio - St Bavo's Church in Haarlem

Forest scene (~1820) by Achille-Etna Michallon - Lady Agnew of Lochnaw
Lady Agnew of Lochnaw (1892-1893) by John Singer Sargent. That is a perfect portrait. - The Quarrel of Oberon and Titania

The Quarrel of Oberon and Titania (1849-50) by Sir Joseph Noel Paton, detail. There are so many details in this painting... Lewis Carroll counted 165 fairies :-)
