Is there really no other thread for paintings?Anyway, I really like Slavic mythology and Russian history influenced art made by painters like Konstantin Vasilyev, Boris Olshansky, Vsevolod Ivanov, Viktor Vasnetsov etc.

well, the website says that that the list is submitted by people who are from those countries.

ah, then it's not strange the elction of 'Guernica' in spanish case.

tons and more tons, ... and more tons of propaganda about that painting.

Spain has much better significant paintings than this, in ancient and in modern times.

Medieval Flemish paintings were quite amazing.

Look at the mirror in the back and all the detail.

Painted in 1434

Yes, everything from the late Gothic period coming from the painting crescent (Flanders-France-Italy) is pretty great. The van Eyck family is obviously the most renowned.

Nicolas Froment's Buisson ardent (1475) :



Jean Fouquet's Diptyque de Melun (1452-1458)



The Limbourg Brothers in the Très Riches Heures du duc de Berry (1411-1416 for their part) :



Robert Campin's Triptyque de Mérode (1427-1432) :


Barthélemy d'Eyck in the Livre des Tournois (1462-1465) :


There was an exposition that I saw recently on Franco-Flemish painting at the Hôtel de Cluny (aka the Museum of the Middle Ages, in Paris). I should find the catalogue.

Thanks for sharing. These are mine favorites.

Modern Rome by Giovanni Paolo Panini

On a related note, you can still see that old school style of hanging in Chantilly (as the Duke of Aumale's testament forbade anyone to touch it).
