Dishes with Oysters, Fruit, and Wine by Osias Beert the Elder https://www.nga.gov/artworks/91389-dishes-oysters-fruit-and-wine
Around the turn of the 17th century, a number of Flemish painters presented sumptuous tabletop still lifes to delight the viewer, and none surpassed Osias Beert.

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.

One Year the Milkweed by Arshile Gorky https://www.nga.gov/artworks/56936-one-year-milkweed
In One Year the Milkweed , one of several so-called color veil paintings Gorky made in 1944, films of paint have been washed unevenly across the canvas, and evocative but indistinct forms have been brushed in. Overall green and brown hues suggest a landscape, but there are no identifiable landscape forms and no spatial recession.
