"On Easter Sunday 1475, the dead body of a 2-year-old Christian boy named Simon was found in the cellar of a Jewish family's house in Trent, Italy. Town magistrates arrested 18 Jewish men and five Jewish women on the charge of ritual murder - the killing of a Christian child in order to use his blood in Jewish religious rites. In a series of interrogations that involved liberal use of judicial torture, the magistrates obtained the confessions of the Jewish men. Eight were executed in late June, and another committed suicide in jail"

Francis Bacon was very fond of them, as well. Here's his lover, George Dyer, dying:

not a triptych but STILL
Have you thought about maybe looking into some local artists to create some original work to display? :)
tvc...you had me at 'Bacon' :drool
but that is some amazing stuff. I need to read up on this.
Ok, I am going to go slightly off topic and make a suggestion:
What about displaying some of your own work? Like your photographs. It's always more interesting with the artist right in front of you (for guests to your office). Plus it would be much more personal and ,depending on the art, can really reflect certain feelings and points of view that you are trying to communicate with displaying art to begin with.
Just an idea. :)
It is my own personal opinion that art is a part of the process to find one's identity. Looking through any artist's portfolio of works you can see patterns in the thought process. Even with the church's influence - as they did fund most of the work back in the day - you can see the artist's own perspective on life in the paintings/sculptures...etc. That may be the element that makes them so attractive to so many people. I always felt the more "honest" works of art to be the most alluring and beautiful. Anyone can pay to have art created. When the artist uses the opportunity to communicate to the world his/her own feelings though their work it becomes more than just pretty colors. It has meaning and true passion.
It is in a pelican case. It is briefcase-y looking, so I could just unpack it in your office.
