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.

It's not just you. The paper I wrote contained about a page and a half on that subject.

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

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.

Fancy posting a pic of the painting so we can have a look?

Who doesn't like Van Gogh? I wouldn't mind having any of his work (they'd be re-prints of course).

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

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

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"
