What is your favourite painting?

Personally, it's Anguish by Friedrich Albrecht Schenck and is currently my desktop image.

It may be closely followed by a similar piece that acts as the painting's...Partner called The Orphan.

Monet's my favourite painter by a long shot. However, asking me for a favourite painting is like asking me for my favourite song, impossible.

I'm going to cheat and say sculptures.

Either

Spoiler: Laocoon

Or

Spoiler: Rape of the Sabine Women

This one is enormous [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b3/Florence_Rape_of_the_Sabine_Women_1.jpg]

I loves me some pathos

It's not exactly a painting but...

M.C. Escher's self portrait

 

[Gildan Bladeborn]

I don't know that it was ever actually created via the medium of oil meeting canvas, but I'm quite partial to this one:

Spoiler: Not sure if you'll see it scaled down or not, so be warned the full size image is bloody enormous.

I get inspiration for my art from my favorite two artists, both were phenomenal painters.

Spoiler: Norman Rockwell

I admire the amount of personality in every one of his paintings, and how there is a story behind each one.

Spoiler: Salvador Dali

I love the dream-like imagery in his more popular pieces, but his simpler works feel much more striking and personal to me. I deeply identify with the above two, more so than almost any other work out there.

Portrait of Giovanni Arnolfini and his Wife by Jan van Eyck.
