Samuel van Hoogstraten – Letter Board, 1664

Rembrandt’s pupil pioneered illusionistic ‘letter boards’: lifelike still lifes of personal objects behind leather straps.

The scene looks casual, but each item is carefully chosen to highlight texture and realism.

Vincent van Gogh - The Irises, 1889

“The lightning rod for my illness,” Van Gogh said about this work, which he painted shortly before his first admission to a psychiatric institution. The canvas reveals a great sense of tension and restlessness.

Cosimo 'Cheone' Caiffa & Mor Pavone turned a tunnel wall in Nerviano, Italy, into a stage for illusion: a giant figure pushing its way out of concrete. Interactive 3D street art at its best.

Clara Peeters – Still life with cheeses, bread, and drinking utensils, 1615

One of the few female painters of that time. She signed her name on a richly decorated bridal knife.
The pewter lid of the earthenware jug reflects the face of a woman wearing a white cap: a tiny self-portrait.

Max Liebermann – Pig Market in Haarlem, 1891

Liebermann loved painting scenes from everyday life, which earned him the nickname 'apostle of ugliness.'
A vendor bends over his pigs, customers inspect the goods, all under warm impressionist light.

Pierre-Auguste Renoir - Monet Painting in His Garden at Argenteuil, 1873

Renoir was known for his vibrant use of color and loose brushwork, but less often noted is his ability to depict intimate moments among friends. This painting reflects the close camaraderie between him and Monet.
