Stacks of Wheat (Sunset, Snow Effect)

The Art Institute has the largest group of Monet’s "Stacks of Wheat" paintings in the world. The artist worked on the canvases in the field outside his farmhouse, painting simultaneously at several easels; he later refined them in the studio. An exhibition of these works in 1891 marked a breakthrough in Monet’s career, as well as in the history of French art.

Virgin and Child with an Angel

Sandro Botticelli's humanizing yet idealized depiction of the Virgin Mary embracing the baby Jesus conveys the sacred beauty of maternal love. Mary nuzzles her son’s chubby cheek as he grasps the nape of her neck. An angel looks on adoringly. Celebrated in his own time, Botticelli developed a distinctly sentimental and tactile style of painting for both religious and secular subjects.
