La Vergine delle Rocce
Here i love the unusal setting, Always reminded of the sea cave (skull rock) of Peter pan
The Birth of Venus
Although certainly stylized for modern standards this looks like it could have been Painted Yesterday and it's ready for some modern exposition.
also Venus is really beautiful
Judith behading Holofernes
I'm basically in love with Judith here (shame that this painting has been used by some feminist but whatever)
this painting really looks ahead of it's time, it's almost like a photo
Ivan the Terrible and his son on November 16 1561
This is just one of my favorite, you can really see the desperation of a madman behind those eyes.
Bal du mulin de la Garrette
this painting is probably the closest thing you can get to a motion picture film with only one image. you can see them talking , dancing, smiling listening all in one frame.
Les femmes d'Alger
synchretism at it's best
La Città che sale
The chaos of a growing city in the first years of the 1900's.
