The Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in Madrid has a Madonna of Humility by Fra Angelico. You'll be able to appreciate the work much better if you check out the much larger image here.
There is something about this work that, when viewed in its larger incarnation, makes me feel better. I can feel my muscles literally relax, and a bit of health creeping into my bones. May it be the same for you!
I wonder if the coloring in this painting isn't giving you that relaxed feeling? The blue combined with the gold is so beautiful. :)

Bente, I'm sure you're right that the colors make a big difference. I hadn't thought of that. :-)
