The Doges Palace in Venice- Frans Wilhelm ODELMARK, 1889

The story of the Magi comes from the Gospel of Matthew, which indicates that the Magi from the East, having followed a star, came to Bethlehem to adore the newborn King of the Jews, and offered him gold, myrrh and incense. In the West, the number of wise men, after many variations, was established at three. Symbols were quickly associated with them, and they ended up, in the 15th century, personifying the three continents known in the Middle Ages (Asia, Africa, Europe) after having represented, from the 12th century, the three ages...

Oil on canvas depicting the sacrifice of Iphigenia, daughter of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra, sister of Orestes, Electra and Chrysothemis, and therefore subject to the curse of the Atreides. When Agamemnon attempts to launch the Greek fleet at Aulis towards the Trojan coast, the winds remain unfavorable. Calchas asserts that only the sacrifice of Iphigenia will appease the wrath of Artemis, and according to legend, raise the winds for the Greek fleet. Anton Kern or Körne (12 December 1709 - 8 June 1747) was a Bohemian-born painter; primarily of religious and historical scenes.Kern was born in Děčín, where his father Johannes was the town clerk. He was brought by his father to Dresden, where his artistic talents first came to the attention of Laurentio di Rossi, an artist of Venetian origin who was serving as a court painter in Saxony, while Kern was attending the Jesuit school in Bohosudov.[1] Rossi was sufficiently impressed to take him to his studio in Dresden and give him lessons. In 1723, Rossi took him to Italy and secured him an apprenticeship with Giambattista Pittoni. He remained with Pittoni for seven years, although he also took lessons at various public and private schools.[1] He returned to Bohemia in 1731, accompanied by Laurentio's brother, Ventura. Four years later, he was officially registered as a "Pictor" at the Faculty of Arts, Charles University in Prague. Between 1734-1738 he worked in Prague and in the north Bohemia. His most important works of this period are: two altarpieces with Saint Apollonia and Saint Agata for Loretto church in Prague, Saint Norbert for Strahov monastery, Saint John at Pathmos for Cistercian abbey church in Osek (Teplice Disctrict) and an enthroned Virgin...
