My absolute favorite is Nighthawks by Edward Hopper, but Renoir's Luncheon of the Boating Party is a close second.

Probably Basquiat's Profit 1. It's the one that pops into my head whenever I think of paintings that I would love to have.

The ceiling in the Sistine Chapel. However for a more conventional singular painting probably Edmund Blair Leighton's The Accolade 1901. I also have a tapestry I love of an old medieval Italian port based on the late 1700s style of paintings by Francesco Guardi.

This is probably my favorite too, but it's hard to say with so many options.

Well, this counts as it was once painted.

But for me it's the grave stele of Demokleides, son of Demetrios. It's a very somber piece in comparison to other grave stele that feature heroic imagery. A young man who died at sea during the Corinthian War, his folks saw no glory in his passing. What's curious is that he appears to have what is a Corinthian helmet which was mostly replaced by the cone-shaped pilos helmet by that time.

I can't ever pin down THE favorite because I'm wishy-washy with paintings like I am with music. I'll probably have a different favorite next week. But I do tend to like stuff that's surreal and/or dark and The Hands Resist Him by Bill Stoneham has that vibe.

Unfortunately marked up in case the forums can't handle Naked Jesus or Mary Boob when present in art. But to find the original just search the Melun Diptych.

This painting always simultaneously intrigued me and creeped me out. The otherworldliness is uncanny. Then you have some interesting things going on. Like the baby pointing, the repeating orb shapes, odd choices of color, a porcelain smoothness, or the one random angel looking straight at you. I also really like the subtle ghostly, almost completely invisible, veil that is around the pair.

I'm more intrigued by the wacky boob-spacing. As if the artist has never seen any in the flesh before, let alone what they're supposed to do when carrying and then feeding an infant.

It's impossible for me to choose a singular painting out of the dozens that I've admired over the years, but The Garden of Earthly Delights by Hieronymous Bosch comes to immediate mind. It's a very large triptych from the late 15th century, but the way he uses space and the dozens of individual figures has always been very striking to me. Although it's perhaps best known for the horror imagery of its third panel (which vividly shows the torment of the damned), I think the entire work is amazing.

Used to be Delacroix's 'Death of Sardanapalus,' so much so that I recreated the entire thing w/ pencil and paper using my own characters. Nowadays it's probably Courbet's 'Artist's Studio.' And while I appreciate Michelangelo more as an artist overall, I also enjoy all the little stories told in Raphael's 'The School of Athens.'

I've never been a fan of more abstract art (although I do respect it from a more objective standpoint); bearing that in mind, Picasso's 'Guernica' has the distinction of being the only abstract work that got a strong evocative reaction out of me.
Simple questions deserve long-winded answers that no one will bother to read.

Not exactly a deep cut, but The Starry Night has always been my favorite. Got a copy of it on my wall and a perler beads thing (don't know what they're exactly called) of it my sister did up too. Van Gogh will always be my favorite painter. I was in the gifted program and in like 3-4th grade we got introduced to a lot of classic art and it's been my favorite ever since. Even though I've never gotten really deep into certain things, I'm glad I was introduced to stuff like art and classical music through the program.
