This painting would say agony and acceptance even if we knew nothing about Rembrandt's life, the success followed by bankruptcy and, by this time in 1669, at the age of 63, the deaths of almost everyone he loved; his son Titus predeceased him in this same year. @MetaRembrandt

Anna By The Pool.' (1952) This is one of the first paintings in what for Zdzisław Ruszkowski would become a lifetime obsession with water, the conjunction of a shimmering surface (a swimming pool in this case) and fractured objects seen below its surface

In the summer of 1866, Paul Cézanne returned to his family home at Aix-en-Provence, making a series of portraits including this one of his maternal uncle Dominique Aubert. The use of a palette knife in this painting gives an aggressive painterly quality to the work.

Max Pechstein painted Lupow Mündung in 1927 in the fishing village of Rowe at the mouth of the river Lupow in east Pomerania. It was a time of huge commercial success for Pechstein; this work sold in its thousands when it was reproduced as a postcard in 1929.

Henry Moore's 'shelter drawings,' made during WW2, hold a crucially important position in his career. In artistic terms, the echoes of the draped figures would resonate through many of his great sculptures of the following decade.

One summer evening in 1894, Winslow Homer spent hours capturing this scene as it unfolded in front of him. It was painted in and by the light of the moon, and never retouched. That tiny spot of red, off-centre on the horizon, is a lighthouse on Wood Island, Prouts Neck near Maine

'Fishing Boats at Sea,' is one of three views of fishing fleets at sea that Monet painted between the autumn of 1868 and the spring of 1869 at Etretat; the boats in the foreground appear larger than the vessels behind them, giving a sense of rapid recession into depth.

When Piet Mondriaan painted 'Farm Near Duivendrech,' (1916) he was painting what the conservative local art market wanted. Few could have predicted, he would die an avant-garde hero in New York in 1944, and be remembered as one of the greatest of all modern artists.

'Woman Knitting,' (1949) demonstrates Henry Moore's use of what he called his two-way sectional line method of drawing. He employed a network of intersecting lines, 'both down the form and around it,' to define the figure and project a powerful sense of volume and weight.

In 1896, Henry Le Sidaner evolved toward Symbolist themes; many of his paintings from this period feature mysterious female figures gathered in dimly lit gardens or in this case, looking out to a sunset at sea.
