The Bellelli Sisters is an unfinished work of art created by Edgar degas. While Edgar was finishing his artist training he lived with his aunt Laura Bellelli and her husband, a baron, named Gennaro. They had two daughters named Guilia and Giovanna, Edgars Italian cousins. Although Edgar was known for his paintings of dancers he also did portraits. He painted the Bellelli family in their home. The Bellelli Sisters portrait was not discovered until the end of Degas long life in his apartment when his belongings were sold. I think he was very close with the family and spent alot of time with them.
Le Trahison is a painting of a pipe.  Below it, Magritte painted, "Ceci n'est pas une pipe" French for "This is not a pipe." The painting is not a pipe, but rather an image of a pipe, which was Magritte's point:
Soap Bubbles 1733 is a painting done by Jean Chardin This is one of several versions of Soap Bubbles, Chardin's earliest work to include human figures. He usually painted still lifes. At the Norton Museum he painted a dead rabbit and some flowers. This painting was hard to do becuase the bubble was only air and Jean found this to be very challenging.
Here Comes the Bogey Man was painted by Francisco Goya. He was born in Spain and became a painter of royalty. He painted portraits for the court. This painting is a black and white showing the backside of a bogeyman since noone knows really what he looks like frightening two screaming children who are jumping into their mothers arms. Goya also enjoyed sketching frighting figures, one of monster biting off the head of a small man.
