William Westall (1781-1850), “The Commencement of the Deluge” (1848), oil paint on canvas, 214.6 x 148.2 cm. Found the gorgeous *unidentified* detail first, and felt compelled to search out the artist/painting. I’d be interested to see this in person, but I never will, because I am a homebody.

"One of two paintings in the Royal Collection (see also CWLF 64, 405553) which result from a collaboration between Rubens, who did the figures, and Frans Snyders, who did the foodstuffs. In this case Snyders painted the fruit and vegetables first and then passed the canvas over to Rubens who was careful not to paint over any of his friend's work...

The subject of this painting is unique and fascinating. At one level it is an excuse to paint a still-life of fruit and vegetables of the type which could hang in a dining room opposite one depicting the spoils of the chase. It also operates on a more profound philosophical level. The text comes from the final book of Ovid's Metamorphoses when he tells the story of the founding of Rome and describes an encounter between Rome's founding King, Numa Pompilius, and Pythagoras, leader of a sect in Croton in southern Italy. Pythagoras (who is recognised by his trampling on that most forbidden of fruit, the bean) upbraids mankind for its savage cruelty in eating flesh (which is why he appears angry and Numa chastened); he speaks of the Golden Age when the fruits of the earth were enjoyed without labour, bloodshed or oppression (which is why fauns and nymphs fill so much of the painting in their happy and carefree harvesting). This subject offers interesting contrasts and parallels: noble and thoughtful men are contrasted with greedy and bestial fauns, but the fauns are the gentle vegetarians..."

"Path in Montmartre" is an oil painting by Vincent van Gogh, created in April-May 1886. It is painted on cardboard and measures 22.2 x 16.3 cm. The painting depicts a path in Montmartre, a district in Paris, with figures walking along it. The scene is characterized by a muted color palette and visible brushstrokes, typical of Van Gogh's style during his early Paris period. 
Key features and observations about the painting:
Subject:
The painting captures a moment on a path in Montmartre, showing figures ascending or descending the steps. The composition includes trees, a fence, and a lamppost, contributing to the atmosphere of the scene.
Style and Technique:
Van Gogh's use of visible, directional brushstrokes is evident, adding texture and movement to the painting. The colors are relatively subdued, reflecting the influence of the Dutch masters and the Hague School, which were significant in his early artistic development. 
Material:
Painted on cardboard, this work is one of the smaller pieces Van Gogh created during his time in Paris, possibly due to the cost-effectiveness and availability of the material. 
Location:
Montmartre was a popular subject for artists in the late 19th century, and Van Gogh's paintings of the area offer a glimpse into his exploration of urban landscapes and his adaptation to the Parisian art scene.
Context:
This painting was made during a transitional phase in Van Gogh's career, as he was moving away from the darker tones of his Dutch period towards the brighter colors of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism. 
Museum:
The painting is currently housed at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam.

"Warrior" (also known as "Head of Warrior" or "Los Embozados"), a 1982 oil painting by Salvador Dalí. 
It is one of Dalí's later works and is a surrealist interpretation of Michelangelo's sculptural portrait of Lorenzo de' Medici. 
The painting measures 99.8 by 100 centimeters and is housed at the Dalí Theatre and Museum in Figueres, Spain. 
Dalí incorporated elements of surrealism, such as transforming the warrior's eyes into figures known as "embozados," which means "hooded figures". 
This work reflects Dalí's later return to classicism, influenced by Renaissance masters, while still maintaining his signature surrealistic style.
