“A Saddle Saddled”
Pierre Soubleira, 18th century.
The hero of the story is a famous painter. He is insanely jealous of his wife. And when he has the need to leave home for a while, he draws a donkey on the intimate place of his wife, believing that this image will be erased during lovemaking, which means that she will be afraid to change him, not being able to hide his infidelity ...
However, the happy rival was another artist. And although the image of the donkey was erased, but the lover before it managed to carefully copy it on a piece of paper. But when drawing the donkey back on his body, he could not resist putting a saddle on it. Seeing the saddle loaded on the donkey, the cuckolded husband had only to recognize himself as the donkey....

“The Great Flood”
Kurt Joseph-Désiré, 19th century
In the biblical book of Genesis, God flooded the earth, sparing only Noah and his family, who were tasked with building the ark. Everyone else perished in the great flood. Instead of illustrating Noah's life, the artist shows us a scene from the other side of the story.
The man saves the old father, ignoring the wife and son who are closer to him. The mother symbolizes life, the son symbolizes the future, and the old man symbolizes the past. By clinging to the past, the man loses life and the future.

“Hands oppose him”
Bill Stoneham, 1972
Bill Stoneham's painting was painted from photogaphy in 1972. It has a curious and mystical story. It depicts a boy and a girl doll standing in front of a glass door with small hands pressed against the other side.
The author says that the painting depicts himself at the age of five, that the door is a representation of the dividing line between the real world and the dream world, and that the doll is a guide to lead the boy through this world. The hands represent alternative lives or possibilities.

“Tragicomedy Box”
Jaroslav Herzhedowicz, 2013.
When asked where he gets his inspiration from, he replied that the arrival of both an image and an idea resembles an electrical discharge. It can be triggered by anything, such as the title of a song, a phrase in an old western, the way the outline of a city looks on the horizon, and so on. The most stable generator of inspiration is the sky with clouds.

“Angel of Death”
Oras Vernet, 1851.
This depicts a dead young girl with a cross on her breast in the rays of heavenly light, she is taken under the arms of a black angel about to be carried away; and a young man is grieving at the bedside below. On the right is an open book, above it is an icon of the Mother of God with a branch, illuminated by a lamp. The subject of the painting is probably caused by the artist's personal grief - the death of his daughter Louise.

“Portrait of Dorian Gray”
Ivan Albright, 1943.
Just by looking at the presented ugliness of the human form, one can understand all the clearly expressed negativism that this character evoked in its creators - the writer Oscar Wilde and the painter Ivan Albright. As Albright had his own reading of Wilde's novel, completely original and unusual, which he showed, and the portrait of Dorian Gray created by him is recognized today as canonical.

“Heaven and Water I”
Mauritz Escher, 1938.
Why do we love magic tricks? Because they, safely for our psyche, make us feel the presence of magic for a few seconds. With Escher's paintings, in which the artist explored the regularities of space, the same thing happens. At first glance - beautiful paintings, but then we realize that something is wrong with the image, and then we begin to figure out where the artist “tricked” us.
