From the enchanting landscapes of Hybernia Nunc Irlant to the intricate details of The Death of Procris, each piece tells its own unique story. Gaspare Osello's masterpiece, The Last Supper, transports us to a moment frozen in time. We witness Cephalus mourning the tragic loss of Procris, surrounded by an aura of sorrow and grief, and is a poignant reminder of love's fragility.

Its spiraling beauty draws us closer, inviting us to explore its secrets hidden within every curve. Various Animals come alive through unknown artists' skilled hands—each stroke capturing their essence with remarkable precision. Their presence reminds us of nature's diversity and wonder.
