The Marquesa de Pontejos by Francisco Goya

https://www.nga.gov/artworks/92-marquesa-de-pontejos

Trees, grass, and shrubbery, simplified almost to abstraction, set off the fragile, wasp–waisted figure of María Ana de Pontejos y Sandoval, the Marquesa de Pontejos. Splendidly attired, she typifies those ladies of the Spanish aristocracy who affected the „shepherdess“ style of Marie Antoinette, so popular in pre–revolutionary France.

Christ Cleansing the Temple by El Greco

https://www.nga.gov/artworks/43723-christ-cleansing-temple

In this tempestuous scene, El Greco depicted an angry Christ driving the moneychangers from the Temple. An uncommon theme, it became increasingly popular in the latter half of the sixteenth century, promoted by the Council of Trent as a symbol of the Catholic church’s attempt to purify itself after the Protestant Reformation.
