A militia company spills out of a dark archway: a captain in black with a red sash and his lieutenant in pale gold lead men with pikes, muskets and a banner, a small girl lit in gold among them. Rembrandt van RijnThe Night Watch A maid in a yellow bodice and blue apron pours a thin stream of milk from a jug into a bowl on a table of bread, lit from a window on the left. Johannes VermeerThe Milkmaid Peasants cut and bind golden wheat on a hillside; others eat and doze under a pear tree, while the land falls away to a village, a church and a hazy bay. Pieter Bruegel the ElderThe Harvesters Two tall narrow panels in red frames: on the left Christ crucified above a crowd and the mourning women; on the right Christ in judgment above the saved, with a skeletal Death spreading over the damned in hell below. Jan van EyckThe Crucifixion; The Last Judgment A white swan rears up with wings spread wide, hissing at a dog swimming towards its nest at the edge of the water. Jan AsselijnThe Threatened Swan A bearded man in a black hat and wide white sleeves rests his hand on a marble bust of Homer, a heavy gold chain across his chest, in deep shadow. Rembrandt van RijnAristotle with a Bust of Homer The brick front of a Delft house with a passage beside it: a woman sews in the doorway, children play on the pavement, a maid bends over a barrel in the alley. Johannes VermeerThe Little Street A man in a thickly painted golden sleeve tenderly lays his hand on the breast of a young woman in red, who touches his hand with her fingers. Rembrandt van RijnThe Jewish Bride
