My favorite painting is and will probably always remain an altarpiece:
Adoration of the Mystic Lamb (Ghent Altarpiece) by the Van Eyck brothers (completed around 1432)
The Battle of Leghorn (De zeeslag bij Livorno) by Reinier Rooms (made in 1653)
I also love the Panorama Mesdag (by Hendrik Willem Mesdag, painted in 1880,1881) but that is perhaps more for it's setting- it's like stepping back into the 19th century when you stand there on that "dune" surrounded by the painting.

Beryl Cook was an English artist who painted fat people, I've always enjoyed the humour in her paintings.
