What's your favourite painting?

[Stanley Edwards]

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!

 

[Sweet FA]

He cheered up a bit later though.

My current favourite;

Lempicka and two by Hopper:

Hopper's Summertime is my favourite too

 

[IC3D]

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

 

[Donna Ferentes]

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....

Gimme some Bruegel any day...

In the same Prado room as the Bosch, if I recall. It's not a bad room.

The Wilton Diptych


Hokusai - The Great Wave off Kanagawa


Miro - Bleu II


Rembrandt - A Woman Bathing in a Stream (Hendrickje Stoffels)



Couldn't separate these four.

I love the fact that trashpony has posted the same painting twice, first in February of 2009 on page 3 of this thread and today. Some conviction right there.

 

[Hocus Eye.]

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.

I couldn't see that I'd posted on the thread (my avatar wasn't showing) although I was pretty sure I had. At least I'm faithful to my painting

Possibly but then have you had to see it again and again and again and again and again for years and years and years and years.

It grinds on my brain every time.
