Saint John the Baptist by Florentine 15th Century https://www.nga.gov/artworks/137-saint-john-baptist
The popular Florentine subject of the young John the Baptist is here presented in a different conception from that of Antonio Rossellino’s delicately beautiful marble bust. The difference is not only in the medium, painted terra cotta, which has retained much original coloring that contributes to an immediate naturalism.

The Bridge at Argenteuil by Claude Monet https://www.nga.gov/artworks/61374-bridge-argenteuil
From a distance of ten feet or so, Monet’s brushstrokes blend to yield a convincing view of the Seine and the pleasure boats that drew tourists to Argenteuil. Up close, however, each dab of paint is distinct, and the scene dissolves into a mosaic of paint—brilliant, unblended tones of blue, red, green, yellow.

Landscape with Herdsmen by Aelbert Cuyp https://www.nga.gov/artworks/100926-landscape-herdsmen
This bucolic landscape depicts two horsemen who have stopped on a small rise overlooking a broad river valley to ask local herdsmen for directions. With figures and cattle silhouetted against an expansive sky and late afternoon light bathing the scene in a golden glow, the painting conveys the sense of peace and tranquility that pervaded the Netherlands after the signing of the Treaty of Münster in 1648 that ended the war against Spain and finally established the Dutch Republic.

„Titian’s Schoolmaster“ by Giovanni Battista Moroni https://www.nga.gov/artworks/1184-titians-schoolmaster
Few artists could match Moroni’s skill in depicting the appearance of his sitters, far less his ability to conjure the inner workings of their minds. The identity of the gentleman in this penetrating portrait is a mystery.

Tableau No. IV; Lozenge Composition with Red, Gray, Blue, Yellow, and Black by Piet Mondrian https://www.nga.gov/artworks/52614-tableau-no-iv-lozenge-composition-red-gray-blue-yellow-and-black
Piet Mondrian intended his abstract or so-called „neo-plastic“ paintings to express his fundamentally spiritual notion that universal harmonies preside in nature. The horizontal and vertical elements of his compositions, assiduously calibrated to produce a balanced asymmetry, represented forces of opposition that parallel the dynamic equilibrium at work in the natural world.

Approach to Venice by Joseph Mallord William Turner https://www.nga.gov/artworks/117-approach-venice
When Approach to Venice was first exhibited in 1844, Joseph Mallord William Turner quoted Lord Byron in the catalog description: “The moon is up, and yet it is not night / The sun as yet disputes the day with her.” In Turner’s colorful view of Venice, a full moon shares the sky with the setting sun as a flotilla of barges and gondolas makes its way across the lagoon.
