"The Abduction of Europa" by Noel Nicolas Coypel, 1726-1727, National Gallery of Art, Washington DC.
A beautiful painting that depicts the story told in "Ovid's Metamorphoses." #OGC #art #classical #painting #culture #paintingoftheday
"Virgin Of The Rocks" by Leonardo Da Vinci, 1483–1486. Oil on wood transferred to canvas, Louvre, Paris. A beautiful example of the usage of "chiaroscuro" or subtle play of light and dark shading makes this an ultimate #OGC favorite! #art #painting #paintingoftheday
