So among my top three, here's how I would rank them.

#1 - Monet. I know it's trite to pick Monet, but there's a reason that he's considered great. I love his stuff, and I have a natural attraction to landscapes. I have to go Monet here.

#2 - Basquiat. This guy does some seriously awesome stuff. I really like his painting, and it's a really close call to pick it.

#3 - Rubens. This is a surprise for me, because I'm not usually into his stuff, but this particular painting is really wonderful. I like how the central figures are more crisp, and then the figures on the edges get fuzzy. Great work.

Monet isn’t my favorite, but it’s better than the Van Gogh you selected. I would have a tough time turning down the Pollock or Kandinsky though.

I did not read the rules before posting. I would like to change my vote from the Matisse to the Caravaggio.

Went with the POLLOCK as it aligns with the decorating ideas I have for my new house.

Rembrandt has two votes? I like his stuff in general, but the selected painting isn't exactly irresistible to me. It looks like the emperor in Star Wars.

Turned a corner at the Vatican Museums a few years ago and saw in front of me Raphael’s “Transfiguration”.

Most of the other paintings from that period haven’t aged particularly well and are discolored, faded.

Transfiguration, in that regard, was the 4k UHDTV to the tube televisions that populated the halls elsewhere.

It was so vivid. The colors were so unbelievably pristine.

A closer look revealed brush bristles stuck in the oil, and fingerprints scattered about. It’s a masterpiece.

One of probably five pieces of artwork that have ever made my eyes well up with tears just from looking at them.

I was drawn to that one. Then it started to creep me out. Those eyes are probably looking right at you, at any angle. :shudder:
