My favourite painting is Christ of St John of the Cross by Salvador Dali,I first saw this painting when I was nine years old and fell in love with it there and then. I'm fortunate that it hangs in a gallery only 10 minutes from my home. I have yet to see another painting which evokes the feelings I have when I see this one, I am not religious at all but I don't think that matters,I love it for it's beauty, not what it represents.
It was bought by Glasgow City Council in 1952 for the controversial sum of £8,200 (about $15,500). Last year it was voted by a very large margin as Glasgow's favourite painting. (don't tell anyone but I voted twice !!!)
If you come across the pond, go to the Dali museum in Florida. It is awesome.
My favorite is anything by Marc Rothko.
after so many years of studying art and visiting museums and galleries, I can no longer even begin to name a favorite painting. . . but when I was in High School (as an art major, of course), I was in love with Rosa Bohheur's "the horse fair". . . did a reproduction of it for a class project.
I love the works of John W. Waterhouse. Could never choose just one.
