Medusa, Caravaggio

Caravaggio is known for his unique fascination with violence and realism. By the time he started achieving success as an artist, he even encountered some run-ins with the law. After visiting Caravaggio's studio and seeing the first version of the Medusa, The Metula painting (smaller than its second and only version), the Medici family’s agent commissioned this piece to symbolise the Grand Duke of Tuscany’s courage.

Hokusai, Great Wave

The Great Wave Off Kanagawa, also known as The Great Wave, is Hokusai’s most famous work of the woodblock print series “Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji”, and many of its originals hang in various Western Museums and collections.

Pieter Bruegel, Tower of Babel

The Little Tower of Babel is one of the three paintings devoted to the Book of Genesis in the Bible, by Pieter Brugel.It depicts the construction of the Tower of Babel, meant to reach the heavens, in its namesake city. The first to be established after the great flood, by Noah’s descendants and unified under one language.

This defiant and prideful act was punished by God, by fracturing this established language into several distinct ones, damning the construction of the monument.

The pinch of satire in this artwork is evident in the architectural choice for the Tower's depiction. Inspired by Roman influence and often linked to the Colosseum, as it bears the symbolism of Man's arrogance and pride, awarded to it by its contemporary Christian circles.

This artwork bears an astounding level of detail, with its depiction of over 1000 workers overseeing hundreds of colored arches, with several brick types, laid from the lower to the upper levels, which we honored in our homage.

Despite its massive presence, if inspected up close, the Tower itself appears very fragile, even being tilted to its left, with many unfinished sectors and scaffolding present, ultimately injecting a sense of an unending cycle to the observer, of a sort of simultaneous construction with its impending and inevitable destruction.

This painting is a warning of the dangers present with Man's success, and how Mankind's creations can never rival the absolute omnipotence of God's power.

William Turner, Fighting Temeraire

The Fighting Temeraire depicts one of the last 98-gun HMS Temeraire being towed positioned on the left side of the painting and raised against an almost ghostly and warm background and a triangle of blue sky.

This piece represents the patriotic side of William Turner, who was at the height of his career having already exhibited at the Royal Academy in London when he presented the painting. He was known for his atmospheric paintings where he explored the subjects of the weather, sea, and light.

Mary Cassatt, The Boating Part

Mary Stevenson Cassatt (1844 – 1926) was an American painter and printmaker. She was born in Pennsylvania but lived much of her adult life in France. There she won praise acceptance from Edgar Degas and Camille Pissarro, becoming the only American invited to join their Impressionist group and later even exhibited among them.

At first glance, the painting seems a straightforward depiction of a nineteenth-century middle-class outing. Yet the artist included subtle hints about the figures’ relationships to one another that complicate this interpretation. Although Cassatt usually explored the familiar theme of mother and child, in this rendition the foreground is dominated by a male figure whose form is pressed against the picture plane and cast in silhouette by the sail’s shadow. In contrast, the female element of the composition — the woman and her child — appears in soft, pastel shades that reflect the summer sunlight.

The boatman, bending forward to begin another stroke of his oar, braces himself with one foot, while the woman maintains her stable position only by planting her feet on the floor of the boat. The sprawling baby, lulled by the rhythm of the water, looks liable to slide right off the mother’s lap. This slight awkwardness is a result of the boat’s movement, and the glances of the mother and child toward the boatman’s half-hidden features and back again suggest a complex, personal relationship, adding psychological tension to this pleasant excursion on a sunny afternoon.

Van Gogh, Self Portrait

Painted mere months before his passing, The Self-Portrait (1889) is one of Van Gogh’s most recognizable artworks. Known for his troubled mind and compulsive behavior, the artist produced this artwork in one sitting. Critics tend to look at the wavy themes as proof of a restless soul and uneasy temperament. Obvious references to "Starry Night" can be seen in the coiling and undulating background, the dominant blueish palette, however this time, seemingly proof of a calmer and more peaceful individual.
