In the foreground, the body of Christ is surrounded by nine people. There is a group of mourners in the left near-

background. In the center and right near-background are a mountain and tree. In the far background are more

mountains. Above the groups of people are ten diminutive angels. Of the nine people in the foreground, four are women

with halos, three are men with halos, and two, without halos, are indistinguishable because they are facing Christ and

only their backs are visible. The body of Christ is held slightly off the ground by three, or possibly four, of the people

surrounding him. He has a halo and is unclothed except for a wrap around his waist. Of the two without halos, one is

clothed in a blue robe and a white head covering. She or he is sitting on the ground at Christ’s right hip. That person may

be helping to hold His body off the ground. The other person is clothed in a pale yellow robe and white head covering.

She or he is holding her or his right hand under Christ’s head. One of the women with a halo is clothed in a pink gown

trimmed with gold. She has an uncovered head. Her hair is brown. She is standing to the left of Christ’s head. Her right

hand is raised with her palm facing outward. One of the women with a halo is clothed in dark blue. She has an uncovered

head. Her hair is brown. She has a braid encircling her head. She is sitting at Christ’s left side, by His head and

shoulders. She is cradling Christ’s head and torso in her lap. Her right arm is beneath His shoulders; her left arm rests on

His chest. One of the women with a halo is clothed in pale blue or purple. She has a partially covered head. Her hair is

brown. She is bending over Christ at his left side by his legs. She is holding His hands, one in each of hers. One of the

women with a halo is clothed in a pink top, light red skirt, and green sash. She has an uncovered head. Her hair is brown.

She has a braid encircling her head. Long strands of hair fall on each side of her face. She is sitting on the ground at

Christ’s feet, holding a foot in each of her hands. Of the three men with halos, one is wearing a pink robe with gold trim.

His hair is brown and wavy. He is standing, bent slightly at the waist, with his arms outstretched behind him. He is

standing to the right of the woman holding Christ’s hands. The other two men with halos are standing behind and to the

right of the woman holding Christ’s feet. One of the men is partially bald. He has graying hair. He also has a beard,

mustache, and sideburns. He is wearing an orange robe with a white stole. His left hand is holding the right side of his

stole. His right hand and arm are concealed under the right-hand side of his stole. The other man has dark hair, a beard,

a mustache, and sideburns. He is wearing a blue robe with gold trim. His hands are clasped in front of him. The group of

mourners in the left near-background bow their heads. Two of the mourners’ faces are partially concealed. One

mourner’s face is clearly visible and expressing grief. One mourner is prominent and has her hands clasped together and

is holding them against her cheek. The mountain in the center and right near-background slopes upward to a leafless

tree. The angels all have wings, halos, and robes. They all are exhibiting sorrow in various ways, including weeping,

praying, and holding their heads in their hands.

The Mérode Altarpiece

This is a three-piece oil painting. Each endpiece is smaller than the middle piece. The left endpiece shows a man and a

woman kneeling in front of a partially open door. There is a crenellated wall with an entranceway in the background. The

man is wearing a sword and a dark robe. The woman is wearing a red dress, a dark cape, and a white cowl. The middle

piece takes the viewer through the door of the left endpiece. It shows an interior room of a house. There is a partially

open window in the background. On the left side, in the foreground, there is an angel kneeling by a table. The angel is

wearing a white robe with a blue sash belt. There is an open book, a candle in a candlestick, and lilies in a vase on the

table. There is a woman wearing a red dress sitting by the table. She is reading a book. Her dress and the angel’s robe are

touching on the floor. Behind the woman is a long bench with a blue covering and blue pillow. Behind the bench is a

fireplace. Above the angel, on the wall, are two small oval windows. In the sun rays coming through the right-hand oval

window is a cherub carrying a cross. On the same wall as the partially open window is a niche with a pot hanging in it.

The third piece shows the interior of a room with a man sitting on a bench. He is holding a piece of wood in his left hand

and is using a tool on it. There are other tools on the table in front of him. In the background is a window with the

shutters raised to the ceiling of the room. More buildings are seen in the distance through the windows.

View of Haarlem with Bleaching Grounds

This is a landscape painting. In the foreground is a hill. Beyond that are gable-roofed houses and a field with long lengths

of linen spread out. The sun is shining on the houses and linen. Trees surround three sides of the field. Beyond the field

with the linens is another field. The sun is shining on the middle of this field. It has a windmill on it. In the far distance, a

church and the roofs of town structures are visible. The cloudy sky takes up two-thirds of the painting.

The Ancient of Days

This is a watercolor etching. It shows an old man crouched in the center of an orange-red circle. Around the circle are

yellow and orange areas connected to rays shooting out toward the bottom. There are dark clouds surrounding the

yellow, orange, and red areas. The old man’s hair and beard appear to be blowing to the viewer’s left. His left hand is

extending downward. He is holding a large drawing compass, which looks like a wide upside-down V, to measure the

darkness.

Power Figure (Nkisi N’Kondi: Mangaaka)

This is a wooden sculpture of a human-like figure. The body is unclothed but wears a hat with patterning. The face is

elongated. On the head, the ears sit high and toward the back. Overall, the sculpture is a dark color, but the eyes are

white. The torso is bent slightly forward. The hands are resting on the hips. There is an open hole in the abdomen. There

are nails and bits of metal hammered into various places on the body: along the jaw, outlining where a beard would be;

in the shoulders and torso; around the hole in the abdomen; in the genital area; and in the knees and the feet. Each foot

is placed on an individual block.

The Third of May 1808

This is an oil painting depicting a firing squad, those executed, and those about to be executed. There is a building in the

background with a tower. There are seven men in the firing squad, each wearing a sword and hat. Their rifles are raised.

The men wear pants and long military jackets. Some of the jackets appear white, while some appear to be darker colors.

The men are positioned in the right foreground. There is a lantern casting a bright light between the firing squad line, the

bodies of those already shot, and those about to be shot. There are bloody bodies lying on the ground in the left

foreground. Just off-center to the left, a man dressed in a white shirt and yellow pants has both arms raised and

outstretched. He appears to be the next man who will be shot. Next to him is a monk or friar in a gray robe. Behind them

are more men, one with his head in his hands. To the left of this group of men are more men standing with their heads in

their hands.

The Great Wave

This is a woodblock print. It shows large waves about to crash over three boats. One wave is dominant and is forming a

circle in the center of the image. This wave is about to engulf the boat that is farthest away from the viewer. A second

boat is at the bottom center, closer to the viewer. The third boat, appearing at the far left, is mostly hidden from view by

the crest of a smaller wave. To the right, Mount Fuji appears in the background beneath storm clouds, centered in the

circle formed by the dominant wave. The mountain is blue with a white snowcap. The waves are various shades of blue

with whitecaps. The boats appear to contain rowers as well as passengers. The rowers are in the rear of each boat; the

passengers are in the front. The sky is dark gray above Mount Fuji but is white and beige elsewhere.

Washington Crossing the Delaware

This is a painting of George Washington standing in a rowboat. He is wearing black boots, which reach just below his

knees; yellow pants; a blue jacket; a gray and red cape; and a blue three-cornered hat. There are three men sitting in the

boat in front of Washington. They are all rowing. One man, a Western rifleman wearing a coonskin cap, faces forward.

Two men sitting next to each other, one in a Scottish bonnet and one of African descent, face backward. There are three

men directly behind Washington. One man, Lieutenant James Monroe, is standing, wearing a blue officer’s coat and

holding an American flag. One is another Western rifleman wearing a coonskin cap. One is a soldier. Behind these men

are General Edward Hand, who is holding his hat on his head and wearing a blue officer’s coat. There are two farmers

with broad-brimmed hats huddling against the cold. One farmer has a bandage around his head. There is an

androgynous rower in a red shirt. The last rower in the stern is wearing moccasins, pants, a green shirt, and a Native

American hat. There are more boats with men and horses crossing behind Washington. Chunks of ice float in the river.

The opposite shoreline is visible in the distance. The sky appears overcast.

Arrival of the Normandy Train, Gare Saint-Lazare

This is an oil painting. It depicts a steam-powered train inside a Parisian train station. The train station is large. It is

partially roofed in glass. The smoke from the train’s smokestack is dull gray inside the station, and bright white outside

the station. The end of the station that the viewer can see is open to the outside. The train is black. Passengers appear to

be waiting to board. This is an Impressionist painting and, as such, the train, the station, the passengers, and the smoke

are rendered with brush strokes that are not blended or delineated.

Paris Street; Rainy Day

This is an oil painting of a Parisian intersection in the late 1800s. It has overcast skies and is apparently raining. Almost

all of the pedestrians are walking with umbrellas. The couple in the foreground are sharing an umbrella. She is dressed in

a fur-trimmed skirt, jacket, and hat. There is an earring visible in her left ear. She is holding on to her companion’s left

arm with her right hand. He is dressed in pants, a buttoned vest, white shirt, bow tie, coat, and top hat. He is holding the

umbrella. They are both looking to their right. A man with his back to the viewer is passing the couple on their left. He is

wearing a top hat and coat and carrying an umbrella. The viewer sees only half of him. In the background are other

pedestrians crossing the street and walking on the sidewalks. There is a triangular building in the background. The

streets are paved with rectangular stones. There is a lamppost visible behind the couple sharing the umbrella. The

painting is realistic and looks almost like a photograph.

Starry Night

Swirls of blue and yellow make up the night sky in this oil painting. A yellow crescent moon is in the upper right corner.

Venus, the morning star, is to the left of center, surrounded by rings of yellow and white. Other stars are scattered among

the swirls of blue, each surrounded by white and yellow rings of various sizes. Under the sky is a village; a church and its

steeple are centered and prominent. Mountains undulate in the background. The mountains are darker shades of blue.

In the village, houses in various locations have lights in their windows. A green cypress tree in the left foreground

reaches almost to the top of the painting.

Guernica

This oil painting is violent and chaotic. On the left-hand side is the suggestion of an opening made by a lighter shade of

gray. There is a wide-eyed bull whose tail forms the image of flames standing in front of the opening. Under the bull is a

grieving woman holding a dead child in her arms. The center is dominated by a horse with a large gaping wound in its

side. Under the horse is a dismembered man. The hand of his severed right arm is clutching a broken sword. His left arm

is stretched above his head and his left palm is open. On his left palm is a five-pointed star. Above the horse is a light

bulb. The rays of the light bulb and the light bulb form an eye. To the upper right of the horse is the floating head of a

scared or shocked woman. Beside her floats a disembodied arm and hand holding a lamp with a flame close to the light

bulb. Under the floating head another woman is partially bent over. She is blankly looking up at the lamp and light bulb.

At the very right of the painting is a woman with her arms raised. She is trapped by flames above and below her. The

bull, the horse, and the woman holding the dead child have sharply pointed tongues. There is a bird on the back wall

between the bull and horse. It has a slash on its body with light coming through.

Self-Portrait with Thorn Necklace and Hummingbird

This is an oil painting the artist, Frida Kahlo, made of herself. The background has large green leaves and one yellow leaf

behind the artist’s head. There are two dragonflies, each on a leaf, almost symmetrically on each side of Frida’s head.

There is a black cat behind Frida’s left shoulder. There is a monkey behind her right shoulder. Frida is looking directly

out from the painting. She has dark hair, dark eyebrows almost joined in the middle, and a slight mustache. Her lips are

red. She wears a solemn expression. Her hair is braided and wrapped around her head. She has a red ribbon woven

through her hair. There are butterflies on the ribbon, one above each eyebrow. Frida is wearing a white top. She wears a

necklace of thorns that reaches to her shoulders and trails in tendrils down her chest. The monkey is holding onto the

necklace. The thorns are making Frida bleed. There is a hummingbird hanging from the middle of the necklace.
