Favorite Paintings/Works of Art

<p>Agree, anything including the word “starry” by Van Gogh (MoMA had a “Van gogh nightlife special exhibit” earlier this year, it was heavenly). They resonate so powerfully with me for some reason. I also love anything by Vermeer. </p>

<p>Also love Lee Krasner - in my eyes she pwns her husband. A particular favorite of mine is Gaea ([MoMA</a> | The Collection | Lee Krasner. Gaea. 1966](<a href=“http://www.moma.org/collection/object.php?object_id=79162]MoMA”>http://www.moma.org/collection/object.php?object_id=79162)) Veniamviam, I love all the Judith paintings, too. When I first saw Caravaggio’s, I could not take my eyes off it. </p>

<p>Being a regular history geek as well, I love any paintings on the Tudors. But my favorite is probably this incredibly inaccurate but emotional painting of Lady Jane Grey’s execution: <a href=“Heilige, Namenstage, Patrone - Ökumenisches Heiligenlexikon”>Heilige, Namenstage, Patrone - Ökumenisches Heiligenlexikon; The actual painting is enormous and pretty moving.</p>
