Poppies, Isles of Shoals by Childe Hassam

https://www.nga.gov/artworks/103172-poppies-isles-shoals

Childe Hassam was a regular visitor to the Isles of Shoals, nine small, rocky, treeless islands off the New Hampshire coast. His acquaintance with the islands was due to his poet friend Celia Thaxter, whose house on Appledore Island was a summer mecca for writers, painters, illustrators, musicians, and other artistic visitors.

The Martyrdom of Saint Bartholomew by Jusepe de Ribera

https://www.nga.gov/artworks/72037-martyrdom-saint-bartholomew

A popular subject in Counter–Reformation Italy and Spain, Ribera’s profoundly moving work portrays the apostle’s final moments before he is to be flayed alive. The viewer is meant to empathize with Bartholomew, whose body seemingly bursts through the surface of the canvas, and whose outstretched arms embrace a mystical light that illuminates his flesh.

Tiger by Ellsworth Kelly

Ellsworth Kelly realized his first abstractions during his stay in France from 1948 to 1954. In these extremely productive years, he created a body of work whose refinement of line, form, and color remains the fundamental language of his art.

Banquet Piece with Mince Pie by Willem Claesz Heda

https://www.nga.gov/artworks/72869-banquet-piece-mince-pie

In 1648 a contemporary writer noted that Willem Claesz Heda was a specialist in breakfast and banquet still lifes, painting „fruit, and all kinds of knick-knacks.“ At first sight, Heda’s largest known still-life painting appears to welcome the viewer to a sumptuous feast. Yet pewter plates teeter precariously over the table’s edge, while a translucent goblet and a silver tazza have toppled over, indicating that the feast has already been enjoyed.
