Artist Unknown, Antwerp School, Belgium
Physical Description
An angel, holding a scepter in his left hand and making a gesture of speech with his right, interrupts the Virgin at her reading. She kneels on the floor and rests her left hand on an open book placed atop a lectern. A vase with a flowering lily sits on the floor between the angel and the Virgin and a small white dove encircled by a halo hovers between them. The scene unfolds within an elaborate and richly decorated interior that includes a chair and canopied bed in the background.

Title
Untitled
Artist
Cåndido Portinari
Physical Description
An abstract painting done in various shades of grays, browns and greens. The background is painted in thick, unblended horisontal strokes. A group of men, one dressed in blue robes and the rest nude, extend their arms and a white flag, possibly in a sign of surrender or possibly for rescue. All are facing away from the viewer except for one, who is much paler than the others and looks quite emaciated. They appear to be floating on a raft but it is difficult to say if they are on water or land.
