The work of Spanish artist José Manuel Ballester – familiar old canvases with the humans removed – newly apposite in the current climate.

oooh lovely. You know a serious amount of work has gone into something like this when it looks as if the figures have just gotten up and left without leaving a trace. Beautiful.
Lovely, and moving
They all are
But if I was to pick one
The after Botticelli
Iconic – even without Venus
How about a minimalist blank canvas with the canvas removed and just the frame remaining?
