For all things are formed by nature to change and be turned and to perish, in order that other things in continuous succession may exist.

One of my National Gallery favourites. The Renaissance was very surreal. Apollo and Daphne.

Choose 20 paintings that have stayed with you or influenced you - 1 painting a day (or thereabouts) for 20 days, no particular order. No explanations, no reviews, just paintings.

16. Piero (or maybe/w Antonio) Pollaiuolo. Justice. 1470. Oil on panel. Uffizi Gallery, Florence. (I like all 7)

For his Apollo and Daphne, Antonio Pollaiuolo in the 1470s chooses an uncomfortable moment when the heroine's treeness is well advanced. Eco-friendly!

Hercules shooting the centaur Nessus who is trying to abduct his wife Deianira, by Antonio del Pollaiuolo, born OTD 1430. This painting always makes me laugh, although that was probably not its intent.

3/3 Woman in profile, 1490s, by Piero del Pollaiuolo, whose day is today. This one looks so un-renaissance to me, more like the French Revolution!

2/2 Nominee for best renaissance hairstyle (and provocative transparent ear-covering) in this profile by Antonio Pollaiuolo, born OTD 1429.

2/2 The pendant: a bit worse for the wear but still a terrific image of struggle Hercules & Antaeus, 1460, by Antonio del Pollaiuolo.

Hercules in wild combat with Hydra. Painted around 1460, possibly for Lorenzo de' Medici, by Antonio Pollaiuolo whose day is today.

Pure profile aesthetics: sheer elegance of the line for a woman's profile, 1460s, by Antonio del Pollaiuolo. He was born on this day in 1430.

2/2 More from Florence 1470: Saint John the Baptist in the wilderness, an ascetic subject in enameled gold by Antonio del Pollaiuolo. It's his day too.
January 17, 2026 at 2:51 PM

2/2 Bust of a young man, original in the Bargello and plaster cast in the V&A. By Antonio del Pollaiuolo, whose day is today.
January 17, 2026 at 12:32 PM
Born on this day in 1430 (more or less), in Florence, the painter, engraver & sculptor Antonio del Pollaiuolo. Today is for him & his brother Piero, who drew this. They worked together a lot, like good brothers.

Estos versos de Lorenzo de Médici, el Magnífico, mecenas de artistas como Botticelli, los Pollaiuolo o Verrocchio, sirven de colofón a «El mundo de la bella Simonetta», la inclasificable obra de Germán Arciniegas.
