Who is your favorite painter and painting?

Question

My favorite painter by far is Rembrandt. I fell in love with his works when I saw them displayed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
My favorite painting is The Kiss, by Francesco Hayez. It looks very realistic, and the man bears a little resembelence to Inigo Montoya.

Answer 1

Okay, I know this will sound pretty cliche, but I really do love Starry Night by Van Gogh. I remember learning about this painting (and Van Gogh himself) in an art history class I took at a community college while still in high school. Just the history behind it itself always make me feel so sad, but it is still really beautiful. I also love Impression, Sunrise by Monet.

Answer 2

Salvador Dali-Giraffe on Fire

I love Dali's abstract paintings all of them are great.

Answer 3

Manet, A Bar at the Folies-Bergère...the woman in this painting looks like she hates her job and is thinking about another place or time...just how I feel when I go to work every time
