Receiving a question about my favourite painting & finding impossible to answer it, I decided to have a separate post about my favourite artists & their paintings!

My favourite artists are:

Giuseppe Arcimboldo, Fra Angelico, Hieronymus Bosch, Pieter Brueghel the Elder, Franz von Bayros, Sandro Botticelli, William Blake, Gian Lorenzo Bernini, Jaques Callot, Caravaggio, Lucas Cranach the Elder, Otto Dix, Salvador Dalì, Gustave Doré, Eugene Delacroix, Albrecht Dürer, El Greco, Max Ernst, Maurits Cornelis Escher, Jan van Eyck, Walton Ford, Caspar David Friedrich, Johann Heinrich Füssli, Francisco de Goya, Artemisia Gentileschi, Giotto (di Bondone), Matthias Grünewald, Hans Holbein the Younger, John Everett Millais, Domenico di Michelino, John Martin, René Magritte, Hans Memling, Amedeo Modigliani, Priamo della Quercia, Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn, Dante Gabriel Rosetti, Peter Paul Rubens, Frans Snyders, Martin Schongauer, Joseph Mallord William Turner, Verrocchio (Andrea di Francesco di Cione), Jan Vermeer, Leonardo da Vinci, Jean-Antoine Watteau, Andrew Wyeth, Joseph Wright of Derby, etc.

…And I’m almost certain that I’ve forgotten some. Above are some of my favourite paintings, though I’ve found it extremely hard to narrow it down to only six. (I might do another post about my favourite illustrations & engravings!)
