One of my favourite vacations was visiting Madeira a few years ago. After walking half an hour in any direction it feels like suddenly you are on a different continent. And there is always the ocean around you, clashing against cliffs or giving you a backdrop for small towns.

Every now and then I need to paint it. This time with soft pastels, really working some pigment into the cliffside.

Justice, Artus Quellinus (I), 1650 - 1651
Both façades of the Town Hall are surmounted by three bronze statues. On the front elevation, Peace is flanked by
the virtues Wisdom and Justice, of which these terracotta figures are the scale models. On the rear elevation, Atlas shoulders the celestial globe, with Temperance and Vigilance at his side. The message expressed here is that universal peace, on earth and in heaven, depends on these four virtues.

The Night School, Gerard Dou, c. 1660 - c. 1665
Light and dark, virtue and vice are juxtaposed here. Bathed in bright candlelight, a girl earnestly recites her lesson, while in the shadows the schoolmaster admonishes a boy. In the foreground, a second pupil, candle in hand, helps another with his schoolwork.
The candlelight here symbolizes reason.
