René Magritte - The Beautiful Captive [1931]
Here, René Magritte presents, for the very first time, the image of a painted canvas standing on an easel and appearing to depict the exact same scene that its presence within the picture seems to obscure. This unsettling, but not impossible, picture-within-a-picture motif is one that was to become a familiar device, used often by Magritte on numerous later occasions throughout the rest of his career. As a result, this is an historic work. It is a painting that marks not only the inauguration of this idea in Magritte’s oeuvre, but also the culmination and final resolution of several prior attempts that the Belgian Surrealist had made at trying to successfully deconstruct and expose the conventions and artifice of the landscape tradition in painting.

Sean Scully - Landline Green Sea [2014]
Marking a pivotal shift in Scully’s influential practice, this work exemplified the artist’s dramatic transition away from his earlier hard-edged minimalism to his current, looser and expressive style. Covering the aluminium surface with fluid brushstrokes, Scully imbues the pictorial surface with a rich dimensionality, movement and light that vividly elicits the beauty and brilliance of the natural world. Painted in 2014, Landline Green Sea is among the first examples of Scully’s acclaimed Landline series that was inspired by the intense light and beauty of Venice, Italy.

Antonius Heusler - Adam and Eve and the Tree of Knowledge
Antonius Heusler was born in Leipzig around 1500. Recent studies suggest that he came from Annaberg in Saxony. The artist did not create his first independent works before the mid-1530s. Heusler’s paintings are rare, but in his native town he soon ranked among the most highly respected artists. This is documented by several purchases of houses, which give evidence of the artist’s prosperity. Heusler died in Annaberg in January 1562.

Alfred Sisley - The Beach at Saint-Mammes [1884]
Alfred Sisley painted a view of barges and rowboats tied up along the sandy riverbank on the Seine some forty miles to the southeast of Paris. Sisley, whose name reflects his English parentage, often represented the industrial traffic along France’s extensive network of rivers and canals. This work has a strong diagonal structure leading to the centre right and is notable for the artist’s lively brushwork and luminous blues, particularly on the sparkling water surface.

Willard LeRoy Metcalf - Ethelinda and James [1890]
Willard LeRoy Metcalf (Lowell, Massachusetts, July 1, 1858 - New York City, March 9, 1925) was an American artist. Born into a working-class family, Metcalf began painting in 1874. In 1876 he opened a studio in Boston, and received a scholarship at the Boston Museum school, where he studied until 1878. In 1882 he held an exhibition at the J. Eastman Chase Gallery in Boston, the sales from which financed a study trip abroad.

This work depicts Ethelinda Vanderbilt Allen and her fiancé James H. Ward, who were married the following year. Ethelinda's brother William Vanderbilt Sullivant Allen was an artist and one of Metcalf's close friends.
