For May and June is the paintings of Orsini Tarantal. He is from Spain and is known as Bishop Javier Escudero Cuervas in RL.

His paintings that I've seen reflects his interest in the sea. But here in Gallery 24, Orsini brings in a message of devastation of cities...."assaulted, burned down, bombed, sacked...Wounded." The paintings will speaks to the destructions...and make the viewer pause to reflect.

Other paintings of Javier can been seen on a youtube video, "The Last Voyage of the Mercedes" presented in a story like fashion.
