How to play: include WIDTH=800 inside your tag so that we might compare them all at the same size.

I'll go first:

What can I say, I like that one. And I've posted Birth of Venus too many times in these threads.

Would post "Chloe" by Jules Lefebvre, but when I did a thread like this a while back, it got whacked because of the boobies.

This is a movie poster Scruffy has on his wall. It isn't anything on the level of Van Gogh, but the fury both in the image and the brush strokes really stood out to Scruffy.

It is one of the reasons why its on the wall.



As for classical paintings, this is one of Scruffy's favorites. It is simple but just catches the eye.
