The universe according to a 1565 text by the Portuguese cosmographer Bartolomeu Velho. Jesus and the angels float in the empyrean, which we would today call outer space. Also note the globe which reflects the early belief in a Northwest Passage that would allow ships to travel across Canada to the Pacific.

Young Woman with a Turban, Jacques-Louis David , c. 1780, Cleveland Museum of Art: European Painting and Sculpture
Known as a tête d'expression or “Expressive Head,” this painting represents an essential part of the academic training of history painters-artists who specialized in religious, mythological, or historical subjects. In 1760 such exercises became standard at the École des Beaux-Arts (School of Fine Arts) in Paris. Focusing on the relationship between morality and beauty, the goal of a history painter is not only to present viewers a pleasing image, but also to elevate their moral standards by representing the emotions of the soul. Size: Framed: 76 x 66 x 8 cm (29 15/16 x 26 x 3 1/8 in.); Unframed: 55.2 x 46 cm (21 ¾ x 18 1/8 in.) Medium: oil on canvas
