“Sin Pursued by Death” by Henry Fuseli
“Sin Pursued by Death” painted by Henry Fuseli is as thought-provoking as his other famous painting: “The Nightmare”. It has much of the same theme of sexuality and religious undertones.

The Old Guitarist by Pablo Picasso
Pablo Picasso’s work has always been amazing and far out of the ordinary from what everyone was used to seeing. The Old Guitarist is no exception to it either but like every one of Picasso’s painting they each hold a unique message to the viewer. Perhaps his message is …

“Church At Auvers” by Vincent Van Gogh
“Church At Auvers” painted by Vincent Van Gogh is a painting of a church in France.
The thing I found interesting about “Church At Auvers” is that it’s the first religious painting I’ve come across thus far by Van Gogh. The painting is surprising because, to me, Van Gogh …
The Wanderer above the Sea of Fog, 1818, by Caspar David Friedrich
This painting has a strong, compelling presence. A man with coattails and a cane stands on a high, rocky mountain peak and looks down upon the lower peaks amidst the fogs. His stance is determined, triumphant, and pensive; the view is spectacular, but in a quiet, mysterious way.
Every time …

The Virginia Museum of Fine Art
The VMFA, as I like to call it, is a nice place to spend an afternoon if you find yourself in Richmond, VA and suffering from culture withdrawal. It’s free, so let’s get that out of the way. Even if you’re not a student, child, or senior. …

Rebecca Guay’s Fantasy Art
I first encountered Rebecca Guay’s amazing fantasy art in the Magic: the Gathering collectible card game. Her art is depicted in a style reminiscent of classic twentieth-century fairy tale illustrations. That’s why, for me, her style is very unique since Magic card art is dominated by more masculine depictions …
The Scream by Edvard Munch
One of the better pieces depicting existentialism that I’ve seen, The Scream is a painting that I find terribly disturbing even years after first seeing it.
It’s unfortunate that The Scream has become so often parodied in popular culture that some people perhaps view it as a joke, but it …

Josephine Wall’s “Daughter of the Deep” Painting

“Olive Trees” by Vincent Van Gogh

Getty Center Museum
