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.

The Voyage of Life: Manhood by Thomas Cole

https://www.nga.gov/artworks/52452-voyage-life-manhood

Cole’s renowned four-part series traces the journey of an archetypal hero along the „River of Life.“ Confidently assuming control of his destiny and oblivious to the dangers that await him, the voyager boldly strives to reach an aerial castle, emblematic of the daydreams of „Youth“ and its aspirations for glory and fame. As the traveler approaches his goal, the ever-more-turbulent stream deviates from its course and relentlessly carries him toward the next picture in the series, where nature’s fury, evil demons, and self-doubt will threaten his very existence.
