Miranda

John William Waterhouse (British, 1849-1917)

Miranda stands at the water’s edge, her gaze lost in the storm’s fury. The waves churn, her dress clinging to her as if the sea itself reaches for her. There’s longing in her stillness—a woman caught between the tempest and the shore, between myth and the moment.
Winter

Joseph Rubens Powell (English, 1860–1926)

A blanket of snow muffles the English countryside. Bare trees stand like sentinels against the pale sky, their branches etched with frost. The air hangs still, heavy with cold. Footprints fade into the distance—someone passed here, but now the land holds its breath, waiting for winter’s next move.
Madonna Mit Jesus Umgeben Von Kindern (1896)

Eduard Veith (Austrian, 1858–1925)

A golden glow surrounds the Madonna as she cradles Jesus, children pressing close in quiet devotion. Their faces tilt upward, bathed in soft light, each gaze fixed on the infant. The scene hums with quiet reverence, a moment suspended between earthly tenderness and divine grace.
Unicornis piscis, The Bahama Unicorn-Fish; The form of a Tooth. (1754)

Mark Catesby (English, 1683–1749)

A strange fish with a single horn-like tooth glides through turquoise waters, its scales catching the light. The creature seems plucked from myth, yet rendered with precise detail—as if daring you to question its reality.
Kitchen interior. The artist’s wife arranging flowers (1884)

Viggo Johansen (Danish, unknown)

Sunlight slants across the table as she tucks stems into a vase, her apron catching the glow. The room hums with quiet concentration—petals, scattered leaves, the weight of domestic rhythm. A moment so ordinary it aches.
A Roman Slave Market (ca 1884)

Jean-Léon Gérôme (French, 1824–1904)

Naked figures stand on a raised platform, their skin gleaming under harsh sunlight. A crowd gathers below—some inspect, others haggle. Chains glint against marble steps. The air hums with commerce and indifference. One man turns his face away.
Insecta Coleoptera Pl 301 (1879-1915)

Frederick DuCane Godman (English, 1834–1919)

A meticulous study of beetles, their iridescent shells gleaming under scrutiny. Each delicate leg and segmented body rendered with precision, transforming specimens into striking portraits. The page hums with hidden life, pinned yet pulsating with detail.
The Annunciation (1828)

Johann von Schraudolph (German, 1808–1879)

A golden light spills through the window as the angel kneels, wings still trembling from flight. Mary’s hands hover between surprise and acceptance, the air thick with unspoken prophecy. The moment hangs suspended—divine interruption in an ordinary room.
La Lecon

Fanny Fleury (French, 1846–1923)

A young woman leans forward, her gaze intent on the book before her. The soft light catches the folds of her dress, the quiet intensity of learning etched in her posture. A moment suspended between instruction and understanding.
Atlas państwa zwierzęcego Pl.75 (1905)

Kurt Lampert (German, unknown)

A meticulous engraving dissects the animal kingdom—each line precise, each creature frozen in scientific scrutiny. The page hums with hidden order, where fur, scale, and feather submit to the grid of study. Life pinned, yet pulsing beneath the ink.
Atlas państwa zwierzęcego Pl.96 (1905)

Kurt Lampert (German, unknown)

A meticulous engraving of the animal kingdom, each line precise as a scientist’s sketch. Creatures frozen in motion, their forms rendered with the clarity of a field guide—yet alive with the energy of the wild.
Stricken (1914)

Arthur Hacker (English, 1858–1919)

A woman clutches her chest, eyes wide with sudden pain. The folds of her dress twist as she stumbles, one hand grasping empty air. Shadows deepen around her, swallowing the light. A single moment frozen—breath caught, body mid-fall, the world tilting irrevocably.
Diana Leaving Her Bath

Guillaume Dubufe (French, 1853–1909)

Diana steps from the water, her body half-turned as if caught between retreat and defiance. The forest air still clings to her skin, droplets glistening like scattered pearls. A hunter’s poise lingers in her limbs, though the bow lies forgotten—for now.
Sunflowers (1883)

Gustav Klimt (Austrian, 1862–1918)

Golden petals twist upward, heavy with sunlight. The flowers lean together, their stems tangled in shadow. Yellow blooms glow against the dark, each brushstroke thick with life. There’s something restless in the way they bend—not just growing, but reaching.
A classical beauty (1889)

Luis Ricardo Falero (Spanish, 1851–1896)

A woman stands draped in flowing fabric, her gaze distant yet magnetic. The soft glow around her suggests something otherworldly, as if she’s stepped from myth into reality. Every fold of cloth, every strand of hair feels alive—not just a figure, but a presence.
