Vermeer (#2) painting is a very early work. If he had not signed his name on it, scholars would have argued that he was not the author. Very different painting techniques between this and his later works. His focus is only on the 3 figures.
Favorite is the Paul Leroy work (#5). He also spent two years in the Middle East. This painting was greatly admired by his own teacher and it received a coveted prize. The setting and atmosphere of the period is well presented in its ordinary, everyday simplicity. Love it!
Leroy’s seems to have so much depth-of-field to it! Looks more like a photograph—very striking.
In #6 by Diego Velazquez, I was struck by the focus on Martha's face, with its child-like struggle with jealous resentment, as well as by the image of the Master with Mary and the other student reflected in a wall mirror.
The lavishness of the crystal stemware pictured in Allessandro Allori #4 seemed out of place, but caused me to look up the history of crystalware. Surprisingly, lead-glass artifacts have been found pre-dating the life of Christ; but stemware? I'm thinking 16th century, according to Wikipedia's summary. The Mediterranean olive-grove agricultural style of living depicted most strikingly in #15 (also in 33, 38) is probably more accurate.
Again, the stained glass (41, 42,43), in their essential simplicity, are direct at telling the story, as well as beautiful.
