Someone already posted View of Toledo, so I'll go with Mantegna's Parnassus, the much less famous, yet much cooler counterpart to the scenes painted by Raphael and Mengs.

The picture is an excellent example of a painting attracting the eye to a focal point and holding it. When you look at the work outside of that point it is very basic and even blah. Something that I never noticed before about the painting is that the gentleman at the counter has a cigarette but there is no ashtray. Otherwise it is period spot on.

I have 2 michalopoulos paintings that I really like. I like the New Orleans scenes. Much better in person with the vibrant colors and textures.

Gustave Dore is good, but too literal..particularly with his interpretation of Dante's Inferno.

I fell in love with Rauschenberg years ago when I was on a digital project to collect Dante's artwork created by artists throughout the centuries.

His stuff is amazing but you have to study it and realize its a very unique interpretation.

I would advise looking up all his Dante work.
