Title: Massacre of the Innocents

Artist: Peter Paul Rubens

Date: 1611-12

Location: Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto

Fun fact: It is widely regarded as a demonstration of the artist's learnings from his time spent in Italy between 1600 and 1608, where he observed first-hand the works of Italian Baroque painters like Caravaggio. These influences are seen in this painting through the sheer drama and emotive dynamism of the scene, as well as the rich colour.

Title: Mona Lisa

Artist: Leonardo da Vinci

Date: 1503-06

Location: Louvre, Paris

Fun fact: The painting is thought to be a portrait of Lisa Gherardini, the wife of Francesco del Giocondo

Haven't seen the painting, but I have been to the house where Lisa Gherardini lived and where the painting was found. A really beautiful house and was sad that you couldn't go in because some people owned it and lived there.

Title: The Jewish Bride

Artist: Rembrandt

Date: 1667

Location: Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam

Fun fact: The painting gained its current name in the early 19th century, when an Amsterdam art collector identified the subject as that of a Jewish father bestowing a necklace upon his daughter on her wedding day. This interpretation is no longer accepted, and the identity of the couple is uncertain.
