After reading up on the Zuni and guessing whose portrait it was:-
Frank Hamilton Cushing, by Thomas Eakins.
Here is my all time favourite virgin. extra points if you can name the model.

What is Jesus pointing at?
The idea came from a book I purchased while visting Zuni some years back, but only now decided to actually read.Originally Posted by prendrelemick
The Title is "Zuni - Selected Writings of Frank Hamilton Cushing"
Eakins portarait of Cushing is on the cover of the book.

Virgin and Child Surrounded by Angels by Jean Fouquet
Agnes Sorel, the king's mistress, was said to be the model.
I don't know what the infant is pointing at.
And now for something completely different.

Mmmm nice, but is it Art?
Yes, the artist is recognised as such, although not quite in the same way as Jean Fouquet.Mmmm nice, but is it Art?

Okay, this is awkward, but that's Jessica Dougherty... Douherty? Yeah, her work. I went to her site and I couldn't find the name this piece, BUT under the pin-up, it said "Featuring fetish model Miss Bianca Beauchamp." Yeah....
Can't find the name! D:
Her real name is probably more like Sally Bloggs. I put it up more or less as a joke but the name of the painting is, appropriately enough, 'Executrice' .
Now you are supposed to post a painting.

The search for the details of that painting, took me to some very odd web sites, or sights.
I thought it might.

It appears that Genocide has dissapeared.
Someone needs to take the bull by the horns.
St. Lukes hasn't checked in for a few days...maybe he could offer up the next challenge?

I had this one waiting so here it is.

No idea - but I like that a lot. Not even sure I think it's very good, but I do like it.
And now for something completely different.
Now Brian, you old salty dog, how is it you claim a feigned shock at my posting of the rather reserved nudes of Van Hove... and then you post this?
Not that I'm shocked in any way, mind you...
