The Beauty of an Ugly Addiction by Frieke Janssens

With the tobacco industry’s push toward attracting children to consume their products, Janssens has theatrically staged and costumed his kids to act the part of “sophisticated” adults enjoying a good smoke.
Virgin & Child with Four Angels by Gerard David (1510):

In this poetic and refined picture David has taken the Virgin and Child from a well-known composition by Jan van Eyck and placed them against the backdrop of contemporary Bruges. The city view includes the churches of Sint-Jakobs and Onze-Lieve-Vrouw, as well as an enclosed garden where a Carthusian monk strolls (perhaps a reference to the Carthusian monastery of Genadedal). The picture may have been commissioned by a member of the Carthusian order.
