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.

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.
