Paintings that tell a story or hold a single charged moment: a legendary abduction, a queen who faints, a sailor adrift and a boy with a soap bubble.

A conceptual collection written for the Galerio demo, not a real-world exhibition. Works are from the Metropolitan Museum of Art Open Access collection.
