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. Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog is absolutely my favorite piece of art.

Pretty interesting. He's a pretty calm guy wherever he is up high I think. Wonder what' he's thinking about.

Aurora Borealis: Brings in a Jules Verne kind of scene to me. I like that one.

And this one gets me

I think he was there a few feet away when they gave the gladiator the 'thumbs down' sign....;-).... what an image....
