VIRGIN AND CHILD ENTHRONED WITH FOUR ANGELS, C1460-70. CREATOR: PIERO DELLA FRANCESCA.

Virgin And Child Enthroned With Four Angels, c1460-70. The Virgin Mary and Jesus are attended by angels, whose wings are partly visible. The angel in red directs our attention to the infant reaching for a flower offered by his mother, an interaction which may symbolize divine love or allude to Jesus’s fate. The angel in white casts a shadow across the base of Mary’s throne, suggesting the painting originally hung to the right of a window. Piero was an influential artist and mathematician particularly interested in perspective and in Greco-Roman antiquity. Virgin And Child Enthroned With Four Angels, c1460-70.

KOMSOMOL LEADERS RUFINA CHUDNIK AND ANNA PREIKSHAS, 1925. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.

Komsomol Leaders Rufina Chudnik and Anna Preikshas, 1925. The "Kuzbass" autonomous industrial colony was created in 1921. It was organized by American workers, who took on the obligation of inviting from the United States and Western Europe some eight thousand skilled workers and specialists to industrialize the Kuzbass. The Soviet government turned over to the colonists a number of Kemerovo mine shafts and an unfinished coking plant. To recruit volunteers to work in Siberia, a "Kuzbass Bureau" was opened in the middle of New York City, and an information bulletin began to be published in the United States. Between January 1922 and December 1923, however, only 566 persons arrived for work in the Kuzbass. The colonists included emigrants from America, Canada, the Netherlands, France, Australia, Jamaica, Indonesia, and other countries as well.
