Tantalizing indeed! Beyond the symbolism of the paintings and the messages they likely portrayed, the idea that someone would go to the expense and effort to have them commissioned on the off-chance they would be seen and then properly interpreted by Katherine and Henry is astonishing and speaks to the role of art in communication and influence. Great piece!
