“An Old Man and His Grandson” — Domenico Ghirlandaio
Price: $395,000
The man’s nose is visibly disfigured, possibly by rhinophyma. While portraits often flattered their subjects, Ghirlandaio chose honesty—making this one of the Renaissance’s most moving portraits.
The boy looks at his grandfather with trust and tenderness, seemingly unaware of his appearance. This is not a painting about illness, but love: to the child, his grandfather is the most beautiful person in the world.
Through the window, a winding path, mountains and trees are painted with unusual, almost Flemish precision, reflecting the influence of Northern art on Italy.
A persistent legend says the man was painted from a death mask, though there’s no firm evidence. The painting has been displayed at the Louvre since 1886.

“Dreyfus Madonna” — Lorenzo di Credi
Price: $265,000
For over a century, scholars have debated whether this intimate work was painted by Andrea del Verrocchio, his pupil Leonardo da Vinci, or—most often—Lorenzo di Credi, Verrocchio’s closest student and assistant. In the 1470s, they worked side by side, making studio works difficult to attribute.
Named after former owner Gustave Dreyfus, a French banker and patron, the painting was sold by his heirs to Duveen Brothers in 1930. Their catalogues credited it to Leonardo or Verrocchio. Samuel Kress acquired it in 1951 and donated it to the National Gallery of Art in Washington in 1952, where it remains.
The pomegranate symbolizes Christ’s Passion; as the infant Christ studies its seeds, he seems to anticipate his sacrifice. After Verrocchio died in 1488, di Credi took over his workshop. Art historian Giorgio Vasari noted his preference for small, meticulously finished works.

“Edward VI, Duke of Cornwall” — Workshop of Hans Holbein the Younger
This medallion portrait depicts six-year-old Edward, Henry VIII’s only legitimate son, as Duke of Cornwall. Its circular format and profile echo ancient coins admired at the Tudor court, lending the young heir an imperial presence.
Once attributed to Holbein, the work is now thought to have been painted after his death in 1543 by a workshop member, following his design. Edward’s clothing was later altered to reflect his status after his 1547 coronation. He became king at nine, after Henry VIII’s death.
Fra il from childhood, Edward ruled for six years and died at fifteen, probably of tuberculosis. Portraits like this remain vivid records of the boy king’s brief life.

“Red Vineyards in Arles” — Vincent van Gogh
Price: $3,750,000
Van Gogh is often said to have sold just one painting in his lifetime: this one. The story is simplified, but essentially true.
It sold for 400 francs at a Brussels exhibition in March 1890, four months before his death. The buyer, Belgian artist and collector Anna Boch, belonged to the Les XX group. Her brother Eugène was Van Gogh’s friend, and he painted his portrait in Arles in autumn 1888.
In a letter to his brother Theo, Van Gogh sheepishly admitted the Bochs had paid the full price, though he should have offered them a friends-and-family discount.
Anna kept the painting until 1907, when Moscow collector and textile magnate Ivan Morozov bought it for 30,000 francs—a sign of Van Gogh’s rising posthumous reputation. The Morozov collection was nationalized in 1918; in 1948, the painting went to Moscow’s Pushkin Museum, where it remains.

Europe Bridge — Gustave Caillebotte
Price: $160,000
Caillebotte spent hours sketching this bridge, then arranged and reworked the figures in his studio to find the right viewpoint. In a photograph, a man in a hat stands almost exactly as he does in the painting.
The bridge crosses the tracks at Saint-Lazare station, where six avenues named for European capitals met. To 19th-century Parisians, it symbolized the industrial age.
The foreground figures remain debated. The top-hatted man may be Caillebotte, with acquaintance Anne-Marie Hagen beside him. A worker leans on the railing, gazing toward the station. Though they share a bridge, the wealthy flâneur and worker seem to inhabit different worlds.
Shown at the 1877 Impressionist exhibition when Caillebotte was 28, the painting reflects his dual role as artist and leading patron. His support sustained fellow Impressionists, and his collection later helped form France’s national Impressionist collection.

The Beheading of Saint John the Baptist — Caravaggio
The only painting Caravaggio signed, it bears the words “brother Michelangelo” in the blood from the saint’s severed throat. At the time, he was a fugitive murderer: after killing a man in a Rome street brawl, he was sentenced to death and fled to Malta.
The Knights of St John welcomed him and made him a knight, a distinction that might help secure a papal pardon. He painted this enormous altarpiece for Valletta’s cathedral, the largest canvas of his career. But after a fight with a senior knight, he was imprisoned, escaped Malta, and in December 1608 was expelled from the order as a “rotten and foul” former brother. The ceremony took place before this very painting.
Caravaggio never received a pardon. Two years later, he died under mysterious circumstances, never returning to Rome.
