Saw an article about the Mona Lisa and made me wonder what people's favourite painting(s) are, if any
B8 has a lot of people into a lot of stuff but I can't remember seeing anyone here talk about paintings before. Are there any art guys? Or is this going to be a 1-post winner? --- Not to be confused with XIII_Stones. ... Copied to Clipboard!

In terms of super famous ones, I've always been a fan of The Scream. Really fucking annoying thing - I was in Oslo last year and for some reason it completely bypassed me that The Scream is there.

Best art museums I've ever been to:
1. Uffizi (Florence) 2. MoMA (NYC) 3. Louvre (Paris) The Uffizi itself feels like a work of art. It's absolutely surreal. --- "A more mature answer than I expected."~ Jakyl25 "Sephy's point is right."~ Inviso ... Copied to Clipboard!

My favourite museum by far is the Egyptian Museum
It's a little bit off-topic since it's not really about the paintings, but holy shit the amount of stuff is unreal. Like there's stuff stacked on top of stuff and it's all really interesting and cool. I could have spent days in that thing Mummies are super weird though and I'm not sure if I liked them or not.

In terms of well-known paintings I will always love The Scream.

Good taste in this topic, both artists I was going to mention have already been said.
I was going to say either anything by Zdzislaw Beksinski for weird/fucked up art. This one is a favorite of mine: https://beksstore.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/113.jpg Or Starry Night by Van Gogh for calming/peaceful and generally because Van Gogh is one of my favorite people in history. --- Account created-9/10/04.

can't think of anything off the top of my head that left an impression on me, but then again I'm just an uncultured peasant. recognize some of the works in this topic but those are the ones I was never really all that impressed by.

Painting is my shit dude. I'm probably the biggest art nerd on the board, seen dozens of exhibitions although admittedly I've yet to see anything in Europe. Most impressive piece I've seen in person is probably Napoleon Crossing the Alps by Jacques Louis-David, although it's harder to get the full force of it without it towering over you (I've seen Persistence of Memory at the MoMA but it's really just a tiny thing) https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/fd/David_-_Napoleon_crossing_the_Alps_-_Malmaison2.jpg
Here's some other faves off the top of my head. Also dig anything by Dali, Bekskinski, Ernst, Bacon, Caravaggio, Auerbach, Stella Jackson Pollock - The Deep https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/79/The_deep_by_Jackson_Pollock.jpg Peter Paul Reubens - Fall of the Damned https://render.fineartamerica.com/images/rendered/default/poster/8/10/break/images-medium-5/the-fall-of-the-damned-peter-paul-rubens.jpg Gerhard Richter - Ifrit https://www.gerhard-richter.com/datadir/images_new/xxlarge/20278.jpg Wassily Kandinsky - Composition 8 https://i0.wp.com/www.guggenheim.org/wp-content/uploads/1923/01/37.262_ph_web-1.jpg?w=870 Odd Nerdrum - Running Bride https://d32dm0rphc51dk.cloudfront.net/V3QVXe0aP2nBwPvUUKmkdg/large.jpg Norman Rockwell - Self Portrait https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51TpviPztgL._SX362_BO1,204,203,200_.jpg Jane Lafarge Hamill - Portrait of Humans https://media.wsimag.com/attachments/baccbaa10e1b7c1c1005be8c5b10190d36719894/store/fill/1020/1530/8dbe730ce69e7f1caa55315a7519d5a61a5e6cce8eaecfd109c305db60db/Jane-LaFarge-Hamill-Portrait-of-Humans-2015-Oil-on-wood-16-x-12-inches.jpg Rene Magritte - La Grande Guerre https://images.masterworksfineart.com/magritte3848.jpg Glenn Brown - In My Time of Dying https://res.cloudinary.com/artlogic/w_5000,h_5000,c_limit,q_85/glennbrown/GB2014-003PT-In-My-Time-of-Dying.jpg ...

Actually, the more I think about it, the more it might be Les Demoiselles d'Avignon.
https://uploads1.wikiart.org/images/pablo-picasso/the-girls-of-avignon-1907.jpg!Large.jpg It's hard to overstate how much that painting completely turned the art world on its head.
