Mortlake Terrace by Joseph Mallord William Turner

https://www.nga.gov/artworks/116-mortlake-terrace

This painting, one of two views of Mortlake Terrace painted by Turner, is a view from the house, looking directly west into the luminous glow of the setting sun. Turner established the quiet mood of the late-afternoon scene with two ivy-covered elm trees, whose soft, feathery leaves and curving limbs frame the painting.

Portrait of a Flemish Lady by Sir Anthony van Dyck

https://www.nga.gov/artworks/573-portrait-flemish-lady

Anthony van Dyck painted this portrait of an upper-class Antwerp woman around 1618, shortly after he registered as a master painter with the Antwerp Saint Luke’s Guild. At that time, Antwerp’s long-established portrait tradition emphasized a sitter’s virtuous character through restrained gestures and a direct gaze.

Père Paillard by Paul Gauguin

https://www.nga.gov/artworks/46713-pere-paillard

Gauguin purposefully displayed his Père Paillard and its female companion piece, Thérèse, in front of his Polynesian home (which he named the House of Pleasure), so that islanders passing by could appreciate the two carved works. Their meaning was evident to everyone.

The Voyage of Life: Youth by Thomas Cole

https://www.nga.gov/artworks/52451-voyage-life-youth

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.
