Gutach Woman in a Meadow (1900)

Franz Xaver Gräßel (German, 1861–1948)

A woman stands in tall grass, sunlight dappling her dress. The brushstrokes blur wildflowers into a haze of color around her. She seems caught between movement and stillness, as if pausing mid-step to listen. The meadow hums with unseen life.

La Carmencita (1890)

John Singer Sargent (American, 1856-1925)

Spanish Dancer (Tango) (1907)

Field Of Blossoms (1927)

William Henry Holmes (American, 1846–1933)

The Temple of Nike Apteros, seen from the Propylaea (1887)

William Blake Richmond (English, 1842–1921)

Summer in the garden of the artist’s villa on Lake Starnberg (1920)

Edward Cucuel (American, 1875–1954)

Amalfi Above The Bay Of Naples (1888)

Franz Richard Unterberger (Austrian, 1838–1902)

A lone sailboat drifts below, dwarfed by the sheer scale of the coastline. The air hums with salt and distant voices.

Carl Larsson (Swedish, 1853–1919)

The Sistine Madonna (between 1512 and 1513)

Raphael (Italian, 1483-1520)
