The Water Carrier by Anna Boch

c.1900 / Oil on canvas / 13”x9 4/5” / Private collection

Besides her own paintings, Boch held one of the most important collections of Impressionist paintings of her time. Popular lore says that Van Gogh sold only one painting (The Red Vineyard) in his lifetime and that it was to Anna Boch. Although Boch did indeed buy this painting, Vincent actually ‘sold’ quite a lot of work during his lifetime.

Woman Seated Upon the Beast by Ende

c.975 / Illuminated manuscript / 15 3/4”x10 1/4” / Girona Cathedral, Catalonia, Spain

Ende was a nun who worked as an artist on a collection of manuscripts at a Spanish monastery in the tenth century. The texts are copies of commentaries on the Apocalypse which were compiled in 786 by a monk named Beatus of Liebana. Ende signed her work with the Latin words pintrix et D[e]i aiutrix, “paintress and helper of god.”

The Girona Beatus is a 10th century illustrated manuscript of the Commentary on the Apocalypse by a Spanish monk, Saint Beatus of Liébana. A theologian and geographer, Beatus’ commentary explained the Apocalypse as depicted in the Book of Revelations and its importance to the state of the Catholic church.
