V. Polyakov. After storming the Winter Palace — it makes me hopeful and outraged and fired up all at once
Picasso's Guernica . Photo with audience used to convey its overwhelming presence.
I always loved it, and the story. I had seen various picassos and loved them.
I was in Madrid for a day and made sure to go to the Reina Sofia to see it in person.
it honestly was so awe inspiring.
Nude Descending a Staircase No 2 by Duchamp
Before having this painting explained to me i was one of those people who didn’t “get modern art,” and I remember the instructor showing us how the work captured motion within the medium of a painting, and I thought the idea of something static depicting a forward moving in time was really cool, it opened up a new world of appreciation of art for me so it always sticks with me. Whenever you asked this question this was immediately the painting that came to mind ergo it must be my favorite
The Dogana and Santa Maria della Salute, Venice, 1843
Turner is my favorite artist, too.
the bathers by henry scott tuke

Yeah my comment was a riff on this: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9qaS4KhtQNE It didn't work
Willumsen - A Mountain Climber
I've seen it in person and it's just sooooo good. I have a print on canvas in my living room and she delights me every day.
ninth wave by aivazovskiy (the man could draw waves like no one business)
I love anything by Rene Magritte, who I guess most people know as the "This is not a pipe" guy. I especially like the series called "The Human Condition" which plays around with the idea of a painting within a painting to examine the medium and asks the viewer to question their ideas about reality and fiction.
