I don't know that it's my favorite painting, but it's certainly at the top of my list. Let's say it was the 1st one that entered my brain as being approximately worthy of the honor. "Nude Descending A Staircase, No. 2" by Marcel Duchamp, 1912. Yep, the Dadaist, the guy who signed his name on a urinal and called it "Fountain." Seems he got really pissed off after The Armory Show in 1913, with the Cubists decrying his work as Futurist, and the Futurists lambasting his work as Cubist! I can see wanting to give a middle finger to all of them. But it wasn't because he couldn't paint.
A few of my favorites:
I'm a big fan of Romantic era art. Caspar David Friedrich is my favorite artist.
Great choices!
