A slightly more disturbing section of the same work (Inferno)

Deep Purple used a b/w rendition for the cover of their obscure 3rd album

Hmmm, maybe this is just a rendition of Lilith's dungeon...

They took that pic last year before the remodel :D

Including sculptures,I would like to have Le Baiser by Rodin.

I like Degas too

I do enjoy a good Degas.

When it comes to use of light, Georges de La Tour has some great works. (for those of you Disney fans, one of his works is one of the treasures that Ariel has in her cave).

My favorite artist of all time is William Adolphe Bouguereau. The pictures he created are amazing. Here is one called Rest that is in the Cleveland Museum of Art.

Klimt paints like I see, but I am also very fond of Raphael and Botticelli

Here are but a few of my most fave Klimts...

and more faves

okay. 2 more pics that I really like. There are some pieces of work that Dali has done that I really enjoy. If you like his work (and happen to be in the Tampa area) there is a Dali museum in St. Pete, Fl that is fantastic. These 2 pieces are there.

The one is just a sketch for a few of his other full paintings. I believe he did 4 variations of the painting. It is the view of Christ on the cross from above. I have a print of this hanging in my bedroom.

The 2nd is called "The discovery of America by Christopher Columbus" and completely blew me away when I saw it. The painting is 10 feet tall. Columbus is almost life sized. There is more detail in this painting than I would care to describe. It's amazing, though.

Skyler_m I have been to that museum. I loved just being there. His work astounds me.
