2646 This is one of my favorite story icons, St. George and scenes from his life. How many methods of torture can you see?
2654 This icon represents 4 different themes, the resurrection of Lazarus, the Holy Trinity, Christ being presented at the temple and St. Prochorus (I've never heard of him).
2699 This is the statue of Catherine II the Legislator. Notice that she's wielding the scepter.
2704 Here's the back of the statue. Notice the hidden crown and orb.
2722 Kral Brullov's Last Day of Pompeii. You can't really see it in my picture but the use of extreme light and dark is very well done.
2724 Ivan Aivazovsky's The Ninth Wave from 1800. Between the sky and the sea it's an unusually colorful seascape. The luminosity he achieved on the waves is perfect. The sun really seems to be making them glow.
