'Evening Falls.' (1917) is a beautiful example of Nikolai Dubovskoy’s mature period when he painted some of his best works. A hugely influential painter, together with Isaac Levitan, he helped create what came to be known as the landscape of mood.

The Adoration of the Magi, Pieter Aertsen, c. 1560 (Rijksmuseum)
I like especially Mary's copious supply of nappies/ swaddling bands - not a detail you often see in sacred art!

Portrait of the Dancer Tamara Danischewski, 1933, by Otto Dix.
The most charming smile in art history? My vote says, yes it is. (*) As for the supposedly “Degenerate” artist, what a gorgeous & inspiring & perfectly human portrait.
(*Other opinions are readily available.)
