Some paintings are simply looked at. Others are wandered through. And then there's The Garden of Earthly Delights, by Hieronymus Bosch, a work so dense with details, creatures, and symbols that not even five hundred years of study have managed to fully agree on what it actually means.

Some stories begin with a woman. Not with a war, a king, or a monster. With a woman. In Greek mythology, that woman was called Pandora. And her story is far stranger — and considerably darker — than the popular version of the curious young woman who opened a box and let all the evils of the world escape.

Some paintings are admired. Others are investigated. Francesco Hayez's The Kiss belongs to the first group. Hans Holbein the Younger's The Ambassadors, without a doubt, belongs to the second: it is likely the most studied, discussed, and analyzed work of the entire Northern Renaissance, and it still raises unresolved questions today.

If you've ever walked through a museum and stopped in front of a medieval painting featuring a baby, you probably noticed something unsettling. That baby doesn't have chubby cheeks or an innocent gaze. It has the face of a fifty-year-old man after an exhausting workday: a receding hairline, deep forehead wrinkles, and an expression that seems to say he's tired of life.

In September 1888, in a square in Arles, a man painted at night. It wasn't a casual gesture: he had forbidden himself from using black. Not a single drop. For him, darkness wasn't the absence of color, but deep blue, violet, green. The result was "Café Terrace at Night," one of Vincent van Gogh's most recognizable paintings.
