From Christ as Salvator Mundi to Lady Brassey's "Around the world with family, " these captivating works transport us across time and space. In c. 1500, an oil painting by an unknown artist depicts Christ as Salvator Mundi, holding a terrestrial globe in his hand—a symbol of divine authority over all creation. This powerful image reminds us of humanity's place within the grand tapestry of existence. Moving forward in time, Saint John the Baptist emerges from marble in 1550, exuding strength and spirituality. His gaze fixed upon something beyond this earthly realm, perhaps contemplating the mysteries hidden within our planet. Fast-forwarding to 1652, Doctor Faustus is etched onto paper—an intriguing portrayal of a man who dared to explore forbidden knowledge. With one hand resting on a terrestrial globe, he represents mankind's insatiable thirst for understanding and discovery. The year 1881 brings forth Hermann Ludwig Ferdinand von Helmholtz's portrait—his scientific mind reflected in his eyes. As he gazes at us from canvas, we ponder how his groundbreaking research shaped our understanding of physics and optics. Justice stands tall in a tempera grassa painting circa 1470—a reminder that fairness knows no borders or boundaries. Holding scales above her head while standing on a terrestrial globe signifies justice being blind to worldly divisions. Fortune smiles upon us from a seventeenth-century canvas—her whimsical nature reminding us that luck can change like shifting tides across continents. She holds dominion over chance events that shape lives around the globe. A young monk stares out from another painting—an enigmatic figure whose story remains untold but speaks volumes about devotion and contemplation amidst worldly chaos.
