What's your favourite painting?

Nice to see Turner getting so many mentions here. I couldn't name a single painting as a favourite, but he is by far the painter I respect mostest :)

My favourite (as in MY favourite) to date:

Bollocks. Won't work. A failed attempt at self-promotion. Nevermind!
 
This is my fave too, If anyones interested you can go to the Prado gallery in Madrid on Google earth and view amazing scans of lots of great paintings at awesomely high resolution heres an article about it

That was exactly our experience! It did mean sadly that our visit to the Prado really consisted of this painting and Goya's "Black" paintings ... though to be honest while I regretted not seeing more what we did see was just wonderful :)

Of course the "Goya" should also be in inverted commas....
 
My favourite image is Hokusai's Wave but it is not a painting but a print so probably not permitted on this thread.

I will need to think long and hard to settle on one single painting though it will probably be a Hockney. Hockney is the Picasso of our age.

Maybe I should choose a Picasso.
 
Eine Kleine Nachtmusic by Dorotea Tanning. And I've just realised it's now at the Tate Modern after being bought in the late nineties. I had no idea. Will have to go and see it.
