The Path of Life (aka The Pedlar) - Hieronymus Bosch - oil on panel (135 x 90 cm) 1510-16 - Museo del Prado (Madrid)
According to the most recent interpretations, this figure may represent the man who follows his road in spite of the temptation of sins (such as lust, perhaps symbolized by the two dancing shepherds) and the evil acts occurring around him.
It is a tender but unflinching study of his mother, Barbara Holper (c. 1451–1514), completed while she was gravely ill, two months before she died. Dürer was close to his mother and after her death wrote that she had "died hard" and that "I felt so grieved for her that I cannot express it". She gave birth to 18 children, of which only 3 lived.

The first known picture to make use of linear perspective:
Brancacci Chapel (Baptistery in Florence)
- Fillipo Brunelleshi (1377-1446, Florentine architect)
& Masaccio in 1415
Perspective was applied to this painting:
Madonna with the Child
(and Scenes from the Life of St. Anne)
- [Fra'] Filippino Lippi (c.1406-1469, Italian)
- oil and tempera on wood (135cm dia.) in 1452

The painter (a monk) and the sitting model (a nun) fell in love, giving birth to a boy and a girl. The Pope pardoned them because of his painting talent, and allowed them to get married. The boy grew up to be another painter with the same name as his father.
