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.
