I do really enjoy Jean Claude Picot. I have a print of this
on my wall (it's not worth anything of course but I do love it).

I'm with you. A picture like that would certainly liven up the room. :)
I like to keep my audience riveted.
I draw stuff.
There is a thread for this already. Alas, it's in the Visual Arts, which rarely has anyone posting.

Are there any fellow fans of van Gogh, by any chance?

Personally, I'm extremely partial to the Hudson River School stuff, and that era of American paintings.
Thomas Cole's Voyage of Life and Journey of Empire are some of my favorite things, ever.
Go play Kentucky Route Zero. Now.

If you like landscape art like that, you might also like J. M. W. Turner.

Your welcome, but there's no need to shout. :/

The more I watch his work, the more I like Picasso. Very grotesque, very beautiful.
Norman Rockwell is hands down my favorite artist. Paintings worth a thousand words right there.

You know what I appreciate about Dada art?
Of course, don't you know anything about ALCHEMY?!- Twin clones of Ivan the Great
Why do I picture everyone in this thread with their hands on their chins and going "Hm... Uh-huh... Wow... Hmm..."

I agree, especially about Guernica.

Now that's funny. :) ![[tup]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Thumbs_up_emoticon_3268.png "[thumb up]"){kind=small}
The Ecstasy of Saint Teresa is one of the most beautiful, strangely intriguing sculptures ever (in my opinion). Though that may have to do with the odd amount of... Sexual tension in it.
It shows this young, beautiful woman, wrapped in voluminous, figure hiding robes. Only her face, hands, and one ankle can be seen. And yet... Her head is thrown back in a rictus of pleasure, and her body is completely limp. It shows the sheer, overwhelming sensation that she is in. All the while, an angel spears her body with a beam of golden light...
I also like caravaggio's stuff

Now that you mention it, has anybody seen the BBC special Simon Schama's The Power of Art? That's where I first found out about Caravaggio and Bernini. Plus Simon's Purple Prose makes it fun to watch. :)

I keep forgetting they're made out of marble when I look at them. They look more realistic than actual clothing.

I wasn't sure if we had a conversation like this already. Who is your favorite artist (of any period), and which of their works do you like the most?
Off the top of my head, I'd say mine are Caravaggio
and Bernini
. I particularly like this one
from the former and these
two
from the latter.
