I know of Monet's Nympheas and Van Gogh's Starry Night Over Rhone. They are great. Can you tell me of any other great ones like those and who they are by?

Here are water scenes of a little different nature, Water Lilies by Claude Monet, and Ophelia by John Everett Millais.

"Boy in a Dory" by Winslow Homer, 1880, watercolor on paper. The picture has a slightly , bright, transparent look to it. The white portions of the work are the papers color showing through.

"The Wave" by Marsden Hartley, 1940, oil on masonite. This picture is by 20th century Marsden Hartley, an American artist. Hartley captures an enormous wave that has just broken over a rocky coastine. You can almost hear the loud cymbal-like crash of the water against the shore.
