    Born not far from an aqueous city, this artist is perhaps best known for his portrait of a famous man's notorious sister, depicted in the guise of a goddess. At one point in his career, he designed a monument to a great and long-dead artist, destined for a church containing a celebrated work by that artist, but the monument became his own. Who was he, who was the other artist, who was the sister, and can you find me an illustration of that provocative portrait?

    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?

    An iconic image associated with the World War II homefront, this figure was depicted in more than one version. One of the most famous -- sold about 5 years ago for nearly 5 million dollars -- was clearly inspired by a much earlier painting by one of history's great artists. What are these two works, and can you offer a couple of comparative sites?
