This beautiful scene is called Madonna of the fireplace, by Jan Gossaert, in around 1500 and it's in oils.

What a handsome figure of a dragon. No wonder I fall madly in love with the Alani Dragon now, the avatar, it's a gorgeous dragon picture.

This beautiful example is the Sistine Madonna, by Raphael, 1513-1514, and is oil on canvas.

Here's another painting with a Madonna on it. This one is the Madonna of the Harpies, by Andrea del Sarto, 1517, and is oil on wood. It's such a beautiful creation.

This is a beautiful, and touching painting, the "Small Cowper Madonna", by, Raphael, 1505, and is oil on panel. It is thought it was a gift by Raphael as a wedding present.

Now this is a beautifully portrayed painting and powerful in its depiction. Rembrandt's The Sacrifice Of Abraham, 1635. Very evocative. Btw if you look carefully you will see a ram caught in a thicket, that is the real sacrifice.

You mean "her", right? Artemisia Gentilesci was the only accepted Renaissance woman painter I know of. I haven't seen this picture, it's beautiful. She generally don't have attractive faces on her woman characters...like in "Susanna and the Elders"

Yes, it seems that perspective is used, for the middle figure. What time is it done? - I had never seen this picture before.

Sandro Botticelli had a muse called Simonetta Cattaneo Vespucci, and is the face in many of his paintings. Though she was also painted by others too. I've got to say I have a fascination of the whole idea of muses, and I believe this one is very special.
Cleopatra, by Piero di Cosimo, 1480. This one is my favourite painting with Simonetta Cattaneo Vespucci.
