"Desert Ranges" (1940) is a powerful, late-period landscape by Maynard Dixon, showcasing his unparalleled ability to capture the stark, architectural beauty of the Western wilderness. The painting portrays a vast, silent desert expanse dominated by a colossal mountain range that stretches across the horizon under a soft blue sky streaked with wispy clouds.

Reverie (In the Days of Sappho) by John William Godward (1861-1922). Godward specialized in portraying women alone in settings suggesting antiquity, usually decorative, dark-haired beauties in diaphanous gowns created with ingenious contrasts of colors and flesh tones.

Cotopaxi (1862) by American landscape painter Frederic Edwin Church (1826-1900).
Cotopaxi is one of the highest volcanos in the Andes Mountains of South America. Like many of his contemporaries, Church was fascinated by volcanos both because of their power and because they were a prime subject of contemporary scientific research, which was in the process of proving that the Earth was much older than previously believed

A View of the Two Lakes and Mountain House, Catskill Mountains, Morning (1844) by Thomas Cole (1801-1848).
Haystacks on the Newburyport Marshes (1862) by Martin Johnson Heade (1819-1904). Unlike the artists associated with the Hudson River school of American landscape painting, Heade was fascinated with the momentary as opposed to the eternal, often painting from nature in an attempt to capture the ever-changing conditions of light and atmosphere. In this sense, he anticipated the preoccupations of the impressionists.
Laurette with a Cup of Coffee (1916) by Henri Matisse (1869-1954). This painting was created during a highly productive period in Matisse's career, when he was deeply fascinated by his Italian model, Laurette (Lorette Licotto). He painted her in dozens of poses, using her expressive features to capture fleeting, deeply personal moods.
Knitter (1873) by William Adolphe Bouguereau (1825-1905). An enduring image of a peasant woman in Italian costume, it is one of the first examples on the theme of knitting, which he returns to throughout his career.

"The Butterfly Hunter" (1840) is one of the most beloved and charming works by the German Biedermeier master Carl Spitzweg (1808-1885).
In Boat-Building near Flatford Mill (1815), John Constable (1776-1837) captures a scene of traditional craftsmanship within the heart of the Suffolk countryside. The painting depicts the construction of a heavy wooden bargea "stour lighter"set within a dry dock owned by the artist's father.
The full title of the painting by Dutch Golden Age still-life painter Evert Collier (1642-1707) is: "A skull atop a jewelled crown, an astrological globe, an hourglass, a book, a shell with soap bubbles and an engraved portrait of the Emperor Augustus on a draped table - a vanitas."
Haida Totems, Cha-atl, Queen Charlotte Island (1912) by Emily Carr (1871-1945). Carr's use of fluid watercolor washes and earthy tones, deep greens, ochres, and weathered greys captures the spiritual gravitas of the Indigenous carvings and their deep connection to the land. This piece reflects Carr's mission to record the disappearing Indigenous architecture of the West Coast while showcasing the Post-Impressionist techniques she mastered in France.
Woman at Her Toilette (1870s) by French artist Berthe Morisot (1841-1895).

The Holy Women at the Tomb (1876) by William Adolphe Bouguereau (1825-1905).
Vanitas - Still Life with Books and Manuscripts and a Skull (1663) by Evert Collier (1642-1708). Collier was a Dutch painter who specialized in the "Vanitas" type of still life composed of such motifs as a skeleton, globe, or musical instruments which were portrayed as a warning against the vanity of this world.
Winter forest with horse-drawn sleigh on a path (1925) by Danish artist Peder Mørk Mønsted (1859-1941).

Jean-Pierre Hoschede and Michel Monet on the Bank of the Epte by Claude Monet. Over time, Monet gradually became less interested in Impressionism’s precise recording of natural phenomena, endeavouring instead “to reproduce something that exists between the subject and myself, the beauty of the air, something wholly unattainable.”
A Bridge In Venice (1899) by American artist Maurice Prendergast (1858-1924).

Bay of Islands (1930) by Canadian artist Franklin Carmichael (1890-1945). This work presents a quintessential view of the northern Canadian shoreline, likely inspired by the rugged beauty of the Georgian Bay region.

The Cushion Pine at Aoyama, from the series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji by Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849).
The cushion pine located at Ryūgan-ji, a Zen temple in the village of Harajuku, was a famous site mentioned in Edo guidebooks. Taking its name from the distinctive shape of its branches, the cushion pine grew to more than thirteen meters wide.

Morning, Looking East Over the Hudson Valley from the Catskill Mountains (1848) by American artist Frederic Edwin Church (1826-1900). In the mid-19th century, increasing numbers of Americans began to travel in search of dramatic scenery. The Catskills, easily accessible from New York City, were an early and popular destination for many tourists. The Catskills' Mountain House offered a perfect setting from which to view the spectacular sunrise, as depicted here.
Macclesfield Bridge, Regent's Park (1826) by Thomas Hosmer Shepherd (1793-1864). Built as part of the construction of Regents park in the 1820s, Macclesfield Bridge crosses Regent's Canal and forms one of the entrances to Regent's Park. In 1874 the bridge was destroyed when a barge that was carrying gunpowder exploded beneath it. The bridge was rebuilt in 1876, reusing the original iron columns.
Wheatfield with Partridge (1887) by Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890). Van Gogh painted this rural wheat field while living in the crowded city of Paris. Before his move to the French capital, his main theme had been country life. For him, this summery painting was a brief return to that theme.
Merced River, Yosemite Valley (1866) by German American painter Albert Bierstadt (1830-1902).

Rocks at the Lighthouse, Biarritz (1906) by Spanish painter Joaquin Sorolla y Bastida (1863-1923).
The Man-of-War Brielle on the River Maas off Rotterdam (1689) by Ludolf Bakhuizen (1630-1708). In 1688, this ship carried Prince William III to England to drive King James II from power. The Latin inscription on the red flag translates as ‘for faith and freedom’. Bakhuysen painted this picture in 1689, the year in which William III and Mary Stuart were crowned king and queen regnant of England.
Still Life with Lighted Candle (1627) by Dutch painter Pieter Claesz (1597-1661). Pieter Claesz specialized in well-balanced still-lifes with little color, and this painting is a good example. A candle, a glass of wine, and various objects such as an open book, eyeglasses, and writing utensils are arranged on a table. The scene is illuminated by the warm glow of candlelight, casting soft shadows. The composition suggests an intimate and contemplative atmosphere.
Road to Louveciennes, Snow Effect (1874) by Alfred Sisley (1839-1899). Pierre-Auguste Renoir is said to have stated that painted snow should reflect all colors in its surroundings and should thus never be depicted using pure white. Here Alfred Sisley has worked out the forms of the snow-covered landscape with warm shadows of light blue and pink.

Fishing Boats at Sea (1860s) by Claude Monet (1840 - 1926). Although this painting was finished in the studio, it has the freshness of the plein-air style Monet practiced with Eugène Boudin and Johan Barthold Jongkind. It also employs a kind of coarse realism, as developed by his friend, Gustave Courbet. It is the broad brushwork, the unconventional flattened picture plane, and the harsh contrast of dark and light.

Starting Out After Rail (1874) by Thomas Eakins. #Philadelphia painter Thomas Eakins had many and varied interests, and they all found their way into his pictures. The composition here reflects his love of #boats and his fascination with perspective: as Eakins himself said, “I know of no prettier problem in perspective than to draw a yacht #sailing . . . tilted over sideways by the force of the wind."

Ontbijt of silver and glassware on a draped table, with vines, fruits and baked goods (1639) by Dutch painter Pieter Claesz. He was widely recognized as one of his generation's preeminent still life artists. The Dutch art historian Bredius described his paintings as being: ‘distinguished by their beautifully luminous colors, the large amount of light, and the excellent painting, especially of metal objects; [they] are among the best still lifes of the 17th century’.
Orchard in Spring (1881) by Alfred Sisley. Sisley was passionate about the beauty of his surroundings. In a letter to a friend, he said that every picture he made depicted a place he had fallen in love with.

The Meadow at Veneux-Nadon (1881) by Alfred Sisley.
Through a juxtaposition of shimmering fields of color and a reduction of motifs, Alfred Sisley lends an iridescent vitality and tension to the seemingly monotonous theme. Sisley exhibited the painting at the Seventh Impressionist Exhibition in 1882, in which the group focused on landscapes.

Boulevard Montmartre: Spring (1897) by Camille Pissarro. One of 14 works painted between February and April, Boulevard Montmartre: Spring epitomizes Pissarro’s ability to seize unique moments, such as a specific hour or season. Pissarro considered his work very modern in conception: “I am delighted to be able to paint these Paris streets that people have come to call ugly, but which are so silvery, so luminous and vital.”
