    An artist painted a portrait of a famous subject that was once seen regularly by people in certain parts of the world. Recently, his subject purchased a preparatory study for yet another painting by this artist, suggesting that, perhaps, she had particularly liked it. Who was the artist, who is the subject, and why was the first portrait so familiar to "average" people?

    The best-known work of its creator, of whom it includes a self-portrait, this canvas was called "the theology of painting" by one artist and "the philosophy of art" by another. It was reinterpreted by the most famous artist of the 20th century, and its precise meaning has been endlessly debated. Today, it hangs in a great museum in the city in which it was made. What is it, who painted it, and who reinterpreted it? (Please provide an illustration.)

    A certain artist was charged with helping a king make a decision. He traveled to a well-known city and painted a picture, and he also traveled to a duchy and painted another. In the end, the subject of the first painting refused to help the king out, but the subject of the second agreed to do so -- unfortunately. Who was the artist, and who were his subjects?
