A Symbolist oil painting by Federico Beltrán Masses titled Granada. Three figures stand close together against a deep blue background, holding a basket filled with tropical fruits. A woman on the left wearing a translucent veil offers a ripe pomegranate, while a central woman adorned with pink flowers stands beside a man carrying a guitar.
A Surrealist oil on canvas painting by Luis Navarro Buñuel titled Amor de la guitarra. An abstract, smooth yellow humanoid figure with an elongated arm and no facial features reclines on a stylized green chair while holding and playing a dark acoustic guitar. A green horn structure loops outward beneath the frame, all set against a textured blue background.
A Post-Impressionist landscape painting by Paul-Antoine Bar titled Le pont sur la Touques. A stone arched bridge spans a calm river, its structure and surrounding green grassy banks perfectly reflected in the water's surface. In the background, lush green trees and a steep mountain ridge rise under a heavy, overcast silver-grey sky.
An image showing post technological ruin. A psychedelic parrot is looking at a sign that says, "The Bees Remember" The atmosphere appears miasmatic.
A Post-Surrealist oil painting on wood by Didier Mazuru titled Rébus au sortir d'un songe. An elevated, theatrical stage is filled with smooth, abstract, organic wooden sculptures that resemble bone fragments and stylized geometric figures. The scene features a heavy red wall section on the left and a dramatic background of radiating teal and blue sunburst rays.
A Symbolist painting by Federico Beltrán Masses titled Aïda. A central, pale woman wears a sheer, jewel-encrusted bodysuit and an ornate Egyptian headdress, holding open a large, heavy red cloak. She stands in front of a giant dark elephant statue, flanked by an ancient Egyptian guard kneeling beside a stylized green-striped tiger, and an attendant holding a fan on the right under a deep blue night sky.
An oil painting by artist Drew Galloway titled "Calico" (2012), rendered on a weathered, horizontal rectangular sheet of found tin metal. The hyper-realistic landscape captures a tightly cropped, high-contrast reflection of a dense forest line across the still, dark surface of a Southern swamp or marsh. Skeletal tree trunks and bright, dappled canopies of white and green foliage are mirrored perfectly upside down. The rich, deep brown and ochre undertones of the composition are formed by the natural rust, oxidation, and aged patina of the raw metal canvas showing through the translucent layers of paint.

An Impressionist painting by Childe Hassam titled The Fourth of July, 1916. A narrow New York City street canyon is densely decorated with dozens of large, vibrant American flags hanging vertically from the buildings. Below, crowds of people walk along the sunlit avenue under a bright blue sky filled with fluffy white clouds.
A Post-Impressionist painting by Maurice Denis titled Eurydice. Figures move across a sunlit, grassy coastal cliffside densely populated by tall trees. In the background, a brilliant turquoise sea is dotted with small white sailboats under a blue sky, framed perfectly by the dark green foliage.
A 1926 Japanese woodblock print by Hiroshi Yoshida depicting Mt. Hodaka. Rugged, rocky mountain peaks in shades of lavender and blue rise under a clear sky. In the foreground, a calm alpine lake perfectly mirrors the mountains, evergreen trees, and a sunlit golden meadow along the shore.
A vintage-style woodcut illustration with an ornate gold filigree border. A cloaked traveler in a wide-brimmed hat stands on a rocky overlook, holding a wooden staff and gazing out at a village nestled in the mountains at night. Above them, a massive, brilliant eight-pointed star shines brightly alongside shooting stars in a deep blue, starry night sky.
The image depicts a solitary figure seated in the middle of a narrow, reflective stream cutting through a dry, rocky landscape. The person is bent forward, head lowered, suggesting contemplation or weariness. Tall, sparse trees line both sides of the stream, their silhouettes softened by the warm, saturated light of a dramatic sunset. Above, a large bird—likely a heron or crane—soars with wings fully extended, adding a sense of movement and quiet symbolism. The sky is filled with richly colored clouds in shades of pink, orange, and violet, casting a surreal, almost dreamlike atmosphere over the scene. The overall mood feels introspective and slightly melancholic, balanced by the openness and beauty of the natural surroundings.
