Subject: Favourite Painting?

Posted by: Cymruambyth

Is there one painting, now hanging in a gallery somewhere, that you appreciate more than any other? For me, it is Rembrandt's 'The Return of the Prodigal Son'. Sir Kenneth Clark, the renowned art historian said that those who see this painting in the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia, can be forgiven for believing it to be "the finest painting ever created." Take that, Leonardo and your Mona Lisa!

"Las Meninas" in the Prado, by Velasquez, for me. I lost myself for half an hour staring at this exquisite and mysterious work.

This is paired with Picasso's series of works based on Velasquez's original, which are on display at the Picasso museum in Barcelona. I was bowled over by the wit and vigour of his pieces - my face hurt from smiling so much at such passion and genius.
