Red Riding Hood Meets Old Father Wolf by Gustav Dore

Red Riding Hood Meets Old Father Wolf by Gustave Doré is a finely detailed black-and-white illustration showing the famous fairy-tale meeting in the forest. The little girl stands beside the wolf with her basket in hand, appearing calm and innocent, while the large animal towers beside her in the shadowed woodland. Doré’s rich engraving style gives the scene depth, texture, and quiet tension. The image captures the uneasy moment before danger is fully understood, balancing childhood innocence with the darker atmosphere of folklore.

The Vagabonds by Jan Toorop

The Vagabonds by Jan Toorop is a strange, haunting image filled with dreamlike figures, tangled greenery, and graveyard shadows. The scene seems to hover between mourning, nightmare, and fairy tale, with pale faces, skeletal hands, flowers, skulls, and winding branches creating an atmosphere of unease. Toorop’s decorative, Symbolist style gives the composition a restless movement, as if the figures are drifting through a spiritual or psychological landscape. The painting feels mysterious and theatrical, exploring themes of death, exile, wandering, and the fragile border between the living and the ghostly

Landscape with Couple Walking and Crescent Moon Vincent Van Gogh

Landscape with Couple Walking and Crescent Moon by Vincent Van Gogh

Landscape with Couple Walking and Crescent Moon by Vincent van Gogh is a vibrant, dreamlike landscape filled with movement, colour, and emotional charge. A small couple walks together through a rolling green countryside beneath a glowing yellow-green sky and a pale crescent moon. Van Gogh’s bold outlines, swirling trees, dark hills, and expressive brushwork give the scene a feeling of rhythm and inner life. The image feels both intimate and expansive: a quiet human moment set inside a landscape alive with light, weather, and feeling.

Children’s Heads by Pierre-Auguste Renoir is an atmospheric study of childhood, painted in a soft, luminous style.

Magic Flute Scene by Max Slevogt

This image is in the public domain

Max Slevogt’s impressionist *The Magic Flute Scene* catches the theatrical shimmer of Mozart’s opera through loose brushwork, glowing colour, and a sense of movement, mystery, and staged enchantment.

The Poet's Window Overlooking Rob Roy's Castle by Marie Fitzpatrick

The Poet's Window looks out onto mountains, vallies and blustery skies. A book and candle sit on a side table, and the castle sits within this presence, seen and unseen as we glimpse edges, and shadowed shapes within the texture of the narrative scene.

Tears in Spring by Marie Fitzpatrick

A digital photoshopped image describes an empty gondola that sits on the edge of a canal. A young girl walks away, her back is to the water, her hand is holding her neckscarf. She's alone, and the image echoes her blue, pensive mood. The atmosphere is muted, dense, one can feel the mist rising from the mood in the narrative portrayed.

For years he'd been quietly filling his stocking by Arthur Rackham

For years he'd been quietly filling his stocking by Arthur Rackham

The big old crow is saving his precious stones and all things shiney in his red-checkered stocking. But where did he find them and what happens next. Will it build a story in your head. The tree is old and well protected. and branch is sturdy and the bird is light. But who owns the bits he collects. Somewhere out there someone is missing a precious item. You guys check your mantlepiece, did you leave a window open?

Art Student by Adam Kluger

Kluger's color choice expresses the movement trapped with the narrative. This is a lady with plans, the motion is forward looking, the face is well blocked in and the hair is flowing. And under her arm she carries a canvas, or a bloc, either/or we know it has seen work by the ink detail on the edges.

Paa Rangel by Theodore Severin Kittelsen

Kittelsen’s Paa Rangel is a stormy, mischievous illustration where a figure struggles through slanting rain beneath a great umbrella, while strange comic faces peer in from the edge. The scene has Kittelsen’s familiar blend of folklore, humour, unease, and wild weather.

WikiArt lists it as an 1894 Art Nouveau illustration from the series Har dyrene Sjæl?

Madame Zborowska with clasped hands (1917), Amedeo Modigliani

Madame Zborowska with Clasped Hands by Amedeo Modigliani is a quiet, elegant portrait marked by the artist’s distinctive elongated forms and restrained emotional intensity. The sitter’s long neck, narrow face, lowered eyes, and folded hands create a mood of stillness and inward reflection. Her pale blouse stands out against the warm, dark interior, giving the figure a gentle luminosity. Modigliani reduces detail while deepening feeling, turning the portrait into an image of poise, melancholy, and private thought.

The Scapegoat by William Holden Hunt

The Scapegoat is a stark and symbolic painting, showing a lone goat standing in a barren salt-flat landscape near the Dead Sea. The animal is isolated against a wide, desolate background of water, mountains, and burning sunset colour. Its heavy coat, bowed stance, and solitary presence give the image a feeling of burden and exile. Hunt turns the biblical idea of the scapegoat into a vivid visual meditation on guilt, sacrifice, suffering, and spiritual desolation.

Woman In Blue (Frau Barth) by Edvard Munch

Woman in Blue by Edvard Munch, 1921

Woman in Blue by Edvard Munch is a quiet, introspective portrait painted in cool tones of blue, green, and pale turquoise. The seated woman appears calm but distant, her dark dress merging with the shadowed colours around her. Munch uses loose, expressive brushwork rather than sharp detail, allowing the figure to feel both present and inward-looking. The portrait carries a mood of restraint, solitude, and emotional depth, with the blue palette giving the image a reflective, almost melancholic atmosphere.

Romantic Landscape by Konstantin Bogaevsky

Romantic landscape by Konstantin Bogaevsky

Bogaevsky presents a dramatic, dreamlike landscape beneath a turbulent sky. Dark trees and low ruins frame the scene, while sweeping clouds rise and twist above the horizon, giving the image a sense of movement and mystery. Bogaevsky’s muted greens, browns, greys, and pale yellows create an ancient, almost mythic atmosphere. The landscape feels less like a specific place than a memory or vision, filled with silence, weather, and brooding romantic intensit

Ishikawa Goemon pulling a painting of himself out of a lidded jar by Utagawa Toyokuni

Ishikawa Goemon Pulling a Painting of Himself out of a Lidded Jar by Utagawa Toyokuni is a bold and theatrical Japanese woodblock print, full of movement, humour, and dramatic expression. The figure strains as he lifts a round lidded jar, while the image-within-the-image suggests a clever play between portrait, performance, and illusion. Strong outlines, patterned clothing, expressive hands, and vivid colour blocks give the scene the energy of kabuki theatre. The print feels lively and mischievous, turning a legendary outlaw figure into a moment of visual trickery and storytelling.

Woods near Oele, 1908 by Piet Mondrian

Mondrian paints a sea of colour with trees rising up into a starlike sky, his mark making and play of light and shadow allows one to melt into its shape.

Imortals Celebrating a Birthday (detail) by Chen Hongshow

Recording the life in the day, this image captures the warmth of memory, tradition, and local customs with a depth of colour and detail that allows one to contemplate another time within this universe we all share. I love the hats and the understated outlines that shout of people personality.
