The Stolen Kiss ca. 1760 Jean Honoré Fragonard French A masterfully executed, incandescent glow highlights fitful hands and a kiss won in a card game. While Fragonard is best known for energetic, broadly brushed paint surfaces, here the high degree of finish emulates seventeenth-century Dutch painting and demonstrates his technical range. More directly, Fragonards elegantly dressed peasants are taken from one of his teachers, François Boucher. Executed during Fragonards first Italian sojourn, this painting appears to have been owned by Bailli de Bréteuil, Maltas ambassador to the Holy See, and was probably among Fragonards first private commissions..

The Hunters Present. A hunter offers a dead bird to a young woman virtuously occupied with her sewing. Is he trying to seduce her? During the 17th century ‘vogelen (literally ‘to bird) was slang for sexual intercourse. The statuette of Cupid, the god of love, on the cupboard also alludes to this. These kind of ‘hunters scenes - especially due to their possible double meaning - were a popular subject in painting.

Salome with the Head of Saint John the Baptist 1635-1645 Italy. In this large canvas, Guido Reni, a leading seventeenth-century Bolognese painter, depicted one of the New Testamentís more macabre stories. Salome, the daughter of Queen Herodias, so pleased her stepfather, Herod Antipas, by dancing at his birthday feast that he promised to grant her any wish. Prompted by her vengeful mother, Salome asked for the head of the prophet John the Baptist, whom Herod had imprisoned for denouncing his marriage. The painting illustrates the moment when the head of the saint is presented to the beautiful young woman. Highly selective in his palette, Reni depicted this gory event with rhythmic grace, soft modeling, and elegant remove. No blood drips from Johnís head, and the color and illumination are cool; indeed, there is no specific setting, nor are any strong emotions depicted. In this late work, the handling of the figures is broad, especially in the legs of the young page and the feet of Salo
