CHRISTMAS DETAILS
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.IN THIS YEAR'S Christmas/Millennium Details there are 21 paintings to identify. It takes the form of a kind of advent calendar.
The calendar has 20 windows. Each one shows the detail of a window, taken from a more or less well-known painting - windows open or shut, looking out or looking in.
And, as in an advent calendar, the windows are set in a background picture, which is the 21st painting. It is not a detail but a complete painting - complete, but mostly obscured by the windows set in it.
Please identify all these paintings by title and artist, numbering your answers one to 21. Each painting is by a different painter, and several of them have been used in the competition before. Some of the pictures have variant titles, but as usual anything on the right lines will do.
The sender of the first fully correct entry to be picked from the hat - or failing that, of the entry with the most correct answers - will receive a case of Champagne. Three runners-up will each receive a bottle of Champagne.
Answers, to arrive by Wednesday 5 January, should be sent to CHRISTMAS DETAILS, IoS, 1 Canada Square, Canary Wharf, London E14 5DL. The correct answers and the winners' names will be published on Sunday 16 January. (The solution to Details 463 will be published next week.)
