The Submersion of Pharaoh's Army in the Red Sea, by Titian, 1514–15, printed 1549
A work made of oil on panel.
This is a drawing of two armored knights on horseback during a joust. It depicts two horses with riders clad in full armor, including helmets with decorative details. Each knight holds a lance, poised as if they are about to engage in a jousting match. The horses are also adorned in armor, with a colorful caparison draped over them. On the ground, there are lances and a halberd seen in the foreground. There are also disembodied arms and hands illustrated in the composition, adding an abstract element. The style is illustrative, capturing the medieval theme of chivalric tournaments.
A work made of black chalk on laid paper, laid down on tan laid pulp board.
Virgin and Child with Angels, by Master of the Holden Tondo, early 1500s
A work made of tempera on panel.
Portrait of a Couple, c. 1580–88
