    Achille Jubinal (French, unknown)

    A knight’s tapestry, woven with threads of faith and chivalry, bears the mark of Bayard. Rich colors and intricate patterns tell silent stories of devotion, battle, and honor. Each stitch holds a fragment of legend, waiting to be unraveled.

    Buddha (1906 – 1907)

    Odilon Redon (French, 1840–1916)

    A golden Buddha emerges from swirling darkness, his serene face half-lost in shadow. The glow around his head dissolves into mist, as if enlightenment itself might vanish with a breath. No lotus throne or temple—just this floating presence, both solid and ethereal, radiating quiet power through the void.

    Raphael (Italian, 1483-1520)

    A young mother cradles her child, their faces softly lit against the dark background. The infant’s tiny hand rests on hers, a quiet moment of tenderness frozen in time. The folds of her robe drape with quiet elegance, drawing the eye to their intimate embrace.

    The Tower of Babel (Rotterdam) (circa 1563-1565)

    Pieter Bruegel The Elder (Flemish, 1525–1569)

    A half-built tower spirals into stormy clouds, dwarfing the ant-like workers scrambling across its scaffolding. Below, a king’s entourage arrives—too late. The structure already tilts, its ambition crumbling under divine wrath. Bricks lie scattered like fallen pride.

  • God’s Creatures (1913)

    God’s Creatures (1913)

    Eugen von Blaas (Italian, 1843–1931)

    A young woman kneels in quiet devotion, her hands clasped in prayer. The soft glow of candlelight flickers across her face, casting shadows on the worn stone floor. Around her, the hushed reverence of the moment lingers—a silent plea woven into the folds of her simple dress.

    The Snow Queen Pl 2 (1911)

    Edmund Dulac (French, 1882–1953)

    A frost-kissed figure glides through the night, her gown woven from winter’s breath. Crystalline patterns spiral around her, sharp as shattered glass. The air hums with silent cold—not cruel, but inevitable, like the turn of seasons. Somewhere beyond the frame, a child’s breath hangs frozen in the dark.

  • Praying Madonna (Around 1665)

    Praying Madonna (Around 1665)

    Michele Desubleo (Flemish, unknown)

    A woman kneels in quiet devotion, hands clasped, gaze lowered. The folds of her robe catch the light, soft shadows pooling around her. There’s weight in her stillness—not just prayer, but surrender. The air around her seems to hold its breath.

  • Anunciación

    Anunciación

    Ángel Zárraga (Mexican, unknown)

    A golden light spills across the scene as the angel kneels, wings still trembling from flight. Mary’s hands hover mid-gesture—not quite refusal, not yet acceptance. The air hums with unspoken words. Between them, a silence thick enough to shape destinies.

  • Artemisia (1498)

    Artemisia (1498)

    Master of Griselda (Italian, unknown)

    A woman kneels in devotion, her crimson gown pooling around her. The light catches her lowered eyelids, the quiet intensity of prayer. Behind her, a shadowed arch frames the moment—not grandeur, but something more intimate: faith distilled to its essence.
