(Putting it here because your picture instantly made me think of & it and I think it’s true they feel good next to each other.)

Hieronymus Bosch The Garden Of Earthy Delights (circa 1490-1510)
(and the outer panels):
Were the paintings painted in a day, have some kind of connection to our day, or are we just limited to posting one every 24 hrs?

I was thinking along the lines of the "poem of the day thread," which started out with people posting one poem per day, but there are no rules and I'm not going to complain if anybody wants to put up 10 of their favourite paintings at once.

The Aino Triptych
Gallen KallelaPainting by Akseli Gallen-Kallela, depicting a scene from Kalevala, a Finnish epic poem. Aino was Joukahainen's sister who was promised to the old and wise Väinämöinen in marriage after Joukahainen lost a magic singing match against Väinämöinen. Aino instead decides to drown herself.
The three pictures tell the story: the left panel one is about the first encounter of Väinämöinen and Aino in the forest, the right panel depicts mournful Aino weeping on the shore and listening to the call of the maids of Vellamo who are playing in the water. Aino has made her decision to choose death rather than her wizened suitor. The middle panel depicts the end of the story. Väinämöinen goes to fish for Aino in the lake that she entered. He catches a fish which he thinks to be a salmon and tries to cut her up with a knife, but the fish slips away from his hands and springs back into the water. Then the fish changes into Aino who proceeds to mock the old man, that he held her in his hand but couldn't keep her. After that she vanishes for ever.

some of that sounds very similar to yeats's poem 'the song of wandering aengus':
The Song of Wandering Aengus
BY WILLIAM BUTLER YEATSI went out to the hazel wood,
Because a fire was in my head,
And cut and peeled a hazel wand,
And hooked a berry to a thread;
And when white moths were on the wing,
And moth-like stars were flickering out,
I dropped the berry in a stream
And caught a little silver trout.
When I had laid it on the floor
I went to blow the fire a-flame,
But something rustled on the floor,
And someone called me by my name:
It had become a glimmering girl
With apple blossom in her hair
Who called me by my name and ran
And faded through the brightening air.
Though I am old with wandering
Through hollow lands and hilly lands,
I will find out where she has gone,
And kiss her lips and take her hands;
And walk among long dappled grass,
And pluck till time and times are done,
The silver apples of the moon,
The golden apples of the sun.

Being pope appears to be less fun than you might think. This expressive painting of Pope Julius II by Raphael is in the National Gallery in London.

It's now on our wall but it hung on the wall at my grandparents for my entire childhood. Whenever we used to get a bit rambunctious (often, 3 of us within 3.5 years) my grandmother used to engage us by getting us to find the bare bum.
