Is this depicting the entrance to the garden of Eden after the exile? Cool painting regardless.

Kind of a cliche but my favorite is The School at Athens by Raphel. Hope to visit the Vatican someday to see it in person. Can't post pic right now because I'm on a mobile device.

I love me some Vinnie Vee Gee.

I really find a lot to love from both the Impressionists like Bazille and Monet and the Post-Impressionists like Van Gogh and Gauguin but these are four of my all time favorites. I can't find a print of "crows" of which I am really happy with the colors. "Starry Night over the Rhone" is my favorite work of all time, I think.

What?, noone mentioned Alex Grey yet? Don't know if he's a favorite, but I like his stuff and just surprised he didn't appear in this thread on a forum like this already.

Nice thread. Since there's some people who might know something about painters in here, does anyone recognize my avatar? I knew once who painted it but I lost it and I can't find it again. The name of the painting is "Spiv" and it's by a british artist with a super British name like "Graham" or "Bertie" or something. You would think with that much info I could google it but I have failed.

I can appreciate "real" art for the most part, but since I'm a dork the nerdy stuff really interests me more. A few already posted (Frazetta in particular) were always favorites of mine, but not to duplicate, here are some of my all time favorites.

Luis Royo's "Fallen Angel"

Michael Whelan's cover art for "Stormbringer"

I'm not a big fan of fantasy art, and the little art I enjoy tends to be "real" stuff that hangs in museums. That said, there is one piece of fantasy art I think is fantastic and that I would be proud to hang in my home. A few of you might know it.

I got to see this painting at the Getty Museum many years ago, was really impressed.

My favorite thing about EQ's original box art was that Firiona's boobs were slightly raised on the box.
