On November 10, 1975, the SS Edmund Fitzgerald sank in a Lake Superior storm with the loss of the entire crew of 29.
When launched on June 7, 1958, she was the largest ship on North America's Great Lakes, and she remains the largest to have sunk there.
Shanon Playford's 30" x 40" oil painting of the Edmund Fitzgerald was originally commissioned for the Nauticarum Societatis Occultae - Nautical Brotherhood

VANITAS!
The Dutch loved the color and beauty of flowers, particularly tulips. Floral still lifes became popular in the early 17th-century, in part because they depicted the exquisite, imported blooms collected by wealthy citizens who wished to admire their colors and rhythmic forms throughout the year.
Why might this depiction of a vase of flowers be a painting?
Ambrosius Bosschaert’s bouquets capture the fragile beauty of flowers and the sense of hope and joy they represent. Cut flowers do not survive long, so any depiction of a vase of blossoms alludes to the brevity of earthly existence as well.
