* [[Art/TheRapeOfProserpinaBernini Gian Lorenzo Bernini]] is considered the greatest of baroque {{sculpt|ures}}ors because of his marvelous ability to make marble figures seem alive and moving. ''Art/ApolloAndDaphne'' depicts Daphne's metamorphosis into a tree as she flees the advances of Apollo, her soft flesh turning to bark and her delicate fingers sprouting leaves.

* [[Art/TheRapeOfProserpinaBernini Gian Lorenzo Bernini]] Creator/GianLorenzoBernini is considered the greatest of baroque {{sculpt|ures}}ors because of his marvelous ability to make marble figures seem alive and moving. ''Art/ApolloAndDaphne'' depicts Daphne's metamorphosis into a tree as she flees the advances of Apollo, her soft flesh turning to bark and her delicate fingers sprouting leaves. In his ''Art/{{The Rape of Proserpina|Bernini}}'', this is exemplified by the highly dynamic figura serpentinata pose as well as the sheer expressivity of the characters.

* Creator/MichelangeloBuonarotti was so awesome that he made ''Art/{{David}}'', the most famous nude male figure in history, out of a flawed block of marble that nobody thought could be salvaged. Did we mention he spent years making the giant frescos on the Art/SistineChapel ceiling?

* Giotto deserves his due as the TropeMaker for renaissance painting and fresco. See the huge program of frescos in the Scrovegni Chapel, completed 1305.
* Michelangelo Buonarotti was so awesome that he made ''Art/{{David}}'', the most famous nude male figure in history, out of a flawed block of marble that nobody thought could be salvaged. Did we mention he spent years making the giant frescos on the sistine chapel ceiling?
* Gian Lorenzo Bernini is considered the greatest of baroque sculptors because of his marvelous ability to make marble figures seem alive and moving. ''Apollo and Daphne depicts Daphne's metamorphosis into a tree as she flees the advances of Apollo, her soft flesh turning to bark and her delicate fingers sprouting leaves.
* Every and anything that was ever made by Creator/LeonardoDaVinci, including his cartoons and notebooks, but a few highlights are ''Art/TheLastSupper'', ''Art/TheMonaLisa'', and ''Art/MadonnaOfTheRocks''.
* The artworks of Creator/MCEscher, specifically "Relativity", is so awesome it has been recreated in numerous works of fiction. Just look at the details and enjoy the MindScrew of it.
** One of Escher's inspirations was the decoration of the Islamic palaces in Spain, which are quite awesome on their own.
* Edward Hopper has made some delightfully calm pieces that evoke loneliness, [[http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NqaOAbjyRQc/TSYqlGbZkEI/AAAAAAAAAVc/T1IeTpFN6n8/s1600/Hopper_Nighthawks.jpg Nighthawks]] and [[http://lh3.ggpht.com/-E7aN1liH5Us/SXKGxHvcgSI/AAAAAAAByKY/v4sfrdas70U/Hopper%25252C%252520Automat%2525201927.jpg Automat]] come to mind.

* Creator/RembrandtVanRijn's ''Art/JewishBride'', such a touching work of a loving couple.
* Creator/JohannesVermeer's ''Art/GirlWithAPearlEarring''.
* Creator/HenriDeToulouseLautrec's portraits of dancers and prostitutes are drawn with such elegance and exuberant style that you can't help but smile at it.
* Do a Google image search for a Mr. Drew Struzan. Be awed.
* Sandro Botticelli. [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_works_by_Sandro_Botticelli See the list of his works with cute little images of his magnificent paintings.]] Special mention goes to "Art/TheBirthOfVenusBotticelli", "Art/{{Primavera}}", "Art/VenusAndMars" and "Art/PallasAndTheCentaur".
* Amedeo Modigliani. His women and their long necks, their sad eyes, their eerie beauty.
* Creator/HRGiger. This is the man who created the conceptual art for the "Alien" movie, which means we have him to thank for the Xenomorph.
* Zdenek Burian's art is all-round great, but he's most well known for his paleontology pieces. Sure, his dinosaurs and some other creatures are laughably outdated by scientific standards, but his art itself, his iconic compositions and grand sceneries have burned into the retinas of an entire generation of dino-nuts, and he's often said to have been one of the most influential paleo-artists of the mid-20th century. [[http://www.flickr.com/photos/timetravelnow/sets/72157626014578047/page1/ Here]] [[http://zburian.blogspot.com/ are some]] decent-sized sets of his works.
* [[https://polymathically.wordpress.com/2016/05/16/takeshi-murata-melter-3-d Takeshi Murata's ''Melter 3-D'']] uses strobe lights to create an illusion that a spherical sculpture is moving and churning like a giant ball of [[Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay T-1000 metal]].
* Max Erst was one of the of under of surrealism with his painting [[https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/2b/The_Elephant_Celebes.jpg The Elephant Celebes]] is one of the most often used examples of the movement. but [[http://www.max-ernst.com/images/paintings/the-nymph-echo.jpg he]] [[https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/4c/Ubu_Imperator.jpg has]] [[http://www.max-ernst.com/images/paintings/attirement-of-the-bride.jpg done]] [[http://portlandartmuseum.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Ernst.jpg so]] [[http://leoplaw.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Temptation-S-Anthony-900.jpg munch]] [[https://artblart.files.wordpress.com/2013/08/woman-old-man-and-flower-web.jpg more]].
* How you have ever pictured a terrifying nightmare where everything was misshaped and creepy, violence seemed every where yet chilling all around. But what made the nightmare truly memorable was that it was strangely beautiful? If you haven't heard of or seen any painting by [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zdzis%C5%82aw_Beksi%C5%84ski Zdzislaw Beksinski]] then the answer is no.

* ''Art/NorthAmericaPortraitOfAContinent'' by Anton Thomas is a pictorial map absolutely packed to the gills with detail that depicts the eponymous continent with an impeccable eye for accuracy. You'll probably never look at UsefulNotes/NorthAmerica the same way again.
