A
The following 4 famous paintings — from Jan van Eyck's portrait to Pablo Picasso's masterpiece — have stood
the test of time.
The Amolfini Portrait
Jan van Eyck's Amolfini Portrait, an oil painting on wood produced in 1434, in which a man and a woman hold
hands with a window behind him and a bed behind her, is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces in the National Gallery,
London. This painting is as visually interesting as it is famed. It is also an informative document on fifteenth-century
society, through van Eyck's heavy use of symbolism — while husbands went out to engage in business, wives
concerned themselves with domestic duties.
The Starry Night
Vincent van Gogh painted The Starry Night, oil on canvas (), a moderately abstract landscape painting of 帆布an expressive night sky over a small hillside village, during his 12-month stay at the mental hospital near
Saint–Remy-de-Provence, France between 1889 and 1890. When the Museum of Modem Art in New York City
purchased the painting from a private collector in 1941, it was not well known, but it has since become one of van
Gogh's most famous works.
The Harvesters
The Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565. It depicts the harvest
time which most commonly occurred within the months of August and September. Nicolaes Jonghelinck, a merchant
banker and art collector from Antwerp, commissioned this painting. The painting has been at the Metropolitan
Museum of Art in New York City since 1919.
Guernica
Guernica, a large black-and-white oil painting, was painted by the Cubist Spanish painter, Pablo Picasso in 1937.
The title 'Guernica' refers to the city that was bombed by Nazi planes during the Spanish Civil War. The painting
depicts the horrors of war and as a result, has come to be an anti-war symbol and a reminder of the tragedies of war.
Today, the painting is housed at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia in Madrid.

Adventure-seeker Emma broke her ankle when she fell awkwardly while climbing a rock and spent a week in
hospital waiting for an operation on her foot. When she was sent home to recover under strict instructions not to bear
any weight, she became so fearful of crutches () that she didn't move for three weeks. “I tried crutches but I kept 拐杖falling over and injuring myself. So I literally just stayed on the sofa all day, ” says Emma.
She was gutted at the thought of missing the Wolf Run — a quarterly event that she hasn't missed since 2014. “If
you complete four Wolf Runs in a year, one in each season, you get Alpha Wolf status,” explains Emma. “This year
was going to be my fifth in a row as an Alpha Wolf and I was really upset that I'd lose my status.” So she was willing
to try anything to get through the course — even with her injured ankle.
“I was telling my friend that I was going to cancel, and he persuaded me to give it a go. Having something to aim
for really kept me going. Emma completed the run wearing an iWALK2.0, which is a medically-approved device
and it basically functions like a hi-tech artificial leg, allowing users to walk freely. I decided to get one and it
completely changed my recovery. I could move around the house and start getting out and about again, which had a
real impact on my mental well-being.”
On the day of the race, Emma was nervous but the sound of people cheering her on kept her motivated. Emma
made it over the finish line in just under six hours and clocked up her 23rd Wolf Run in five years. “It was an
incredible day and my determination to finish combined with the support I received along the way kept me going,”
