• Rembrandt van Rijn Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Tulp
• Hans Holbein Henry VIII
• Johannes Vermeer Girl with a pearl earring
• Theodore Gericault Raft of the Medusa
• Jacques Louis David Death of Marat
• Michelangelo Creation
• Rene Magritte The Son of Man
• Piet Mondrian Composition with Red Blue Yellow
• Frieda Kahlo Self Portrait
• Dora Maar?
• Eduard Munch The Scream
• Vincent van Gogh Self Portrait
• Andy Warhol Marilyns
• Gabrielle d’Estrees
• Giovanni Cimabue Madonna and Child with Angels
• Caravaggio The Beheading of St John the Baptist
• Eduard Manet Olympia
• Eugene Delacroix Liberty Leading the People
