Christ Crucified by North European 18th Century, German 18th Century

https://www.nga.gov/artworks/101681-christ-crucified

This devotional carving, with a power that belies its small size, is the National Gallery of Art’s first purchase of a sculpture in ivory. Always a luxury material, ivory was imported into Europe from Africa by way of Egypt since Greek and Roman times, and remained in demand for centuries.

Ships in Distress off a Rocky Coast by Ludolf Backhuysen

https://www.nga.gov/artworks/65898-ships-distress-rocky-coast

The three cargo ships in this large painting are the type of wide-bellied, seagoing vessels used to transport much of the commodities that generated the wealth of the Dutch in the seventeenth century. Flying the red, white, and blue flag of the Dutch Republic, these floating symbols of national prosperity are nevertheless in peril of crashing on the rocky shore.
