Venus and Adonis
- Peter Paul Rubens, c. 1610

Venus, the goddess of love, tries to stop her beloved Adonis from leaving for the hunt. She knows the danger that awaits him, but neither she nor Cupid can persuade him to stay. Adonis leaves and is later killed by a wild boar — making this embrace their final goodbye.

Landscape with an Allegory of the Five Senses
- Abraham Govaerts, 1624

The five women represent the five senses: smell, taste, touch, hearing and sight. Flowers stand for smell, fruit tasted by a small monkey for taste, music and birds for hearing, while touch appears through physical contact. Sight is represented by the people looking directly at the painting itself — turning the artwork into part of its own allegory.

Wave
- Karl Hagemeister

Hagemeister was fascinated by the sea because he believed a wave could not simply be copied — paint it too literally and it would appear frozen. He studied the rhythm, transparency and movement of waves, then painted rapidly and instinctively, trying to capture the feeling of the sea in motion rather than a single frozen moment.

The painter’s studio

There was no name next to this one, but I loved it anyway. It shows the space where art is actually made, with canvases, brushes, sketches and objects scattered around the room. Seeing the process felt just as interesting as seeing the finished work.
