I've lost the original source, but you can take it off of my Flickr account here.

Wow, that is one incredible painting, thanks for the request and thanks for the delivery. I fully agree that one can sit and gaze at that for a long time. Very beautiful. :)

Thank goodness for that - for a moment I can feel a little less depraved!

Rene Magritte
The Menaced Assassin

My favorite artist or my favorite painter?

Bah, I know what you mean. My favorite artist is Salvador Dali, but I'm also a huge Picasso fan. Couldn't tell you my favorite works; that would take some evaluation.

I love Van Gogh. He is amazing who can not like starry night?:p

My favourite painter is probably Albert Edelfelt. I've got Queen Blanca on my wall :)

What a lovely painting! Thanks for sharing! :thumbs_up :p

yikes nick! thats one crazy painting!

Anna i really like that painting! its amazing how he painted the silk of her dress!

I like it because I see each figure occupying the room at a different time. It reminds me of Faulkner's storytelling. It's a mystery that can never be solved!
His other work is interesting.

This one I'm actually unsure of, I'll have to look it up and check:

"The Garden of Earthly Delight" (I believe) by Heironymous Bosch:

One of Wassily Kandinky's "Compositions," I can't remember which:

I could just stare at that one for hours.

Edelfelt did amazing job with painting fabrics. :) They just look so real.

This is another painting by Edelfelt. It's called "A Child's Funeral".

Edelfelt was in need of money, and so he "re-painted" this painting as a "happy version", where they are heading for a christening instead of a funeral. A picture of it can be found if you click the link below. Choose "aiheet", then "kansankuvaus" and find a painting called "Ristiäissaatto"
