"Saint Nicholas of Bari" — Carlo Crivelli
By the mid-1400s, Italian artists had moved on from gold backgrounds, embracing realistic landscapes. Crivelli, however, stayed true to the Gothic tradition, using gold leaf lavishly to create jewel-like, sacred icons. His style—archaic yet detailed—remains instantly recognizable: flat forms with striking naturalism.
Saint Nicholas, bishop of Myra, inspired the legend of Santa Claus. Known for secret generosity, he gave three pouches of gold to save a poor man’s daughters, symbolized by three gold orbs in art. His relics were brought to Bari in the 11th century—hence "of Bari."
This 1472 panel is a fragment of a dismantled altarpiece, now scattered: parts in Cleveland, Brooklyn, and the Met; others lost. Common fate for Renaissance altarpieces.

"Esther's Toilette" — Théodore Chassériau. Price: $175,000.
Hailed as Ingres’ most gifted student, Chassériau joined his studio at eleven and became his favorite protégé. This 1841 Salon piece marked their final break. Ingres disapproved as the young artist embraced Delacroix’s sensual colorism. The work blends Ingresque precision with Romantic richness.
Chassériau chose the biblical Esther, preparing for King Xerxes, a subject allowing sensuality within acceptable Orientalist and religious frames. The figure’s strong arms may echo the artist’s sisters. Inspired more by Venus bath scenes than traditional Esther depictions.
Now in the Louvre, this small, detailed painting is a key early work—foreshadowing Chassériau’s later Algerian masterpieces.

"Echo and Narcissus" — John William Waterhouse
Echo, a nymph cursed by Hera, could only repeat others’ words. Silenced, she loved Narcissus—rejected, as all were. The gods answered spurned lovers: Narcissus fell for his reflection. Waterhouse shows him transfixed by the water, unable to look away. In the distance, Echo watches sorrowfully, arms around a tree.
Warm earth tones cloak Echo, grounding her in life; cold hues surround Narcissus, reflecting his isolation. Beneath him, pale narcissus flowers emerge—the legend says they first grew where he died, gazing at himself.
Painted in 1903, it debuted at the Royal Academy and was soon acquired by the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool, where it remains. #WalkerGallery #Waterhouse #MythologyInArt

"The Wedding at Cana" by Paolo Veronese, the Louvre’s largest painting (7×10 m), hangs opposite the Mona Lisa. Commissioned by Venetian Benedictine monks for their San Giorgio Maggiore monastery refectory, it depicted the Gospel feast for contemplation during meals. Veronese set the biblical scene in 16th-century Venice, dressing over 100 figures in contemporary silks and jewels. Among them are Emperor Charles V and Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent. In the foreground musicians, he painted himself alongside Titian, Tintoretto, and Bassano—uniting Venice’s great masters in one ensemble. Seized in 1797 by Napoleon’s troops, the canvas was cut in half to transport to Paris. After Napoleon’s fall, Venice demanded its return, but France deemed the return too risky and sent a substitute instead. The painting remains in the Louvre today. #ArtHistory #Veronese #RenaissanceArt

«Sunset on the River Oise» — Charles-François Daubigny
Price: $16,500
Daubigny, a key forerunner of Impressionism, inspired Monet and Cézanne. In 1857, he converted a barge into a floating studio, *Le Botin*, and painted en plein air along the Seine, Oise, and Marne rivers. Settling in Auvers-sur-Oise in 1860, he captured twilight scenes with quick, sketch-like brushstrokes, mastering the fleeting atmosphere. Influenced by Corot and Courbet, he later mentored Monet and Cézanne, bridging the Barbizon school and Impressionism. A curious detail: between 1864–1874, his peak years, he subtly added extra ducks to signal satisfaction with a painting.

«San Marco Altarpiece» — Fra Beato Angelico
Price: $200,000
Commissioned by Cosimo de’ Medici the Elder, the de facto ruler of Florence, as part of a major renovation of the San Marco monastery led by Michelozzo. It marked Cosimo’s early, significant patronage.
The patron’s family appears—Saints Cosmas and Damian, Medici protectors—kneeling before the Virgin, wearing the red hats. Art historians see Saint Cosmas gazing at the viewer with a hidden likeness of Cosimo.
An early sacra conversazione—the Madonna and Child with saints in one space, sharing a silent dialogue. Its precise linear perspective in the carpet made it a landmark of early Florentine Renaissance art.
Dismantled 1678–1679; of 18 surviving fragments, only the central panel and two side panels stay at the San Marco Museum, Florence; the rest are in nine museums worldwide, including Washington, Munich, Dublin, Paris.

«Portrait of a Lady» — Rogier van der Weyden
One of the Northern Renaissance’s most enigmatic figures—her name unknown, yet her presence unforgettable. Likely Burgundian nobility, she wears an elaborate hennin veiled in gauze, her reserved air reflecting courtly ideals. This painting is the only female portrait universally accepted as fully by van der Weyden; a similar version in London’s National Gallery is attributed to a pupil, lacking the master’s precision.
Van der Weyden strips all distractions: no background, no decor—just a face, veil, folded hands, and a crimson sash against dark fabric. Following Burgundian fashion, her hairline is plucked to heighten the forehead, embodying a Gothic ideal. With minimal elements, he captures profound psychology, earning his title as a “master of lines.”

Christiansborg Palace Chapel, Copenhagen — Heinrich Hansen. Price: $17,500. Hansen captured a chapel that miraculously survived two fires. The first palace burned in 1794. Architect Christian Frederik Hansen rebuilt it in neoclassical style, consecrated in 1826—the millennium of Christianity in Denmark. The 1884 fire spared the chapel, though the second palace fell. It remained royal residence until 1992’s fire.
Hansen, a pioneer of Danish architectural painting, traveled Europe, drawing inspiration from 17th-century Dutch masters. His delicate light and shadow reveal interiors with precision. The dome’s fresco features angels by Bertel Thorvaldsen, one of Denmark’s greatest sculptors, whose work adorns key Copenhagen buildings.

Edward VI, Duke of Cornwall — workshop of Hans Holbein the Younger. This medallion shows six-year-old Edward, sole son of Henry VIII, styled as Duke of Cornwall. The circular profile echoes ancient coins, favored at the Tudor court, giving the heir an imperial dignity. Once thought to be by Holbein, it’s now attributed to his workshop post-1543, based on the master’s model. Originally showing Edward’s ducal title, his clothes were later overpainted to reflect his 1547 coronation as king at nine. Frail from birth, he ruled six years and died at fifteen, likely of tuberculosis. Portraits like this are poignant records of a life cut short. #Tudors #Holbein #ArtHistory

«The Odalisque and the Slave» — Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres
Price: $135,000
Though never visiting the Middle East, Ingres painted this fantasy of Orientalism from imagination while directing the French Academy in Rome. Commissioned by his loyal patron Charles Marcotte—whose portrait he’d painted in 1810—the work blends invention and reuse. The nude odalisque stems from an earlier study; the seated musician was painted live. Her serpentine pose echoes the lost *Neapolitan Sleeper* (1809) and later appears in *Jupiter and Antiope*—a hallmark of Ingres’ habit of revisiting themes.
In 1842, Ingres and pupils, the Flandrin brothers, made a second version with a park view inspired by Château de Dampierre, painted by a student. That copy is now at the Walters Art Museum, Baltimore; the 1839 original is at Harvard’s Fogg Museum.
