Nice thread idea, Andrei!

You may not be surprised that my taste in painting is aligned with my taste in music. My "sweet spot" is the Franco-Spanish members of the "École de Paris", in the period spanning from ca. 1930 to ca. 1973 (the year Picasso died).

Here go 5 artworks I'm particularly fond of (in no particular order):

Raoul Dufy, Amphitrite, oil on canvas 184 x 136  (1936) —hat tip to André  —




Georges Braque, The Billiard Table, oil on canvas 89 x 116 cm (1945)




Francisco Borès, Composition aux citrons, oil on canvas 89 x 116,5 cm (1954). I made a futile attempt to bid for this in auction in 2020, but it was beyond my reach 




Fernand Léger, Nature morte aux fruits, lithograph on arches paper  (75 copies), 49 x 64 cm (1948). I'm lucky enough to have one signed copy hanging on my wall  .




Óscar Dominguez, Pájaros, oil on canvas 45 x 32 cm (1949)

Yes, the paintings resemble you pretty well, Raphael.

Sarge

A huge +1! Count me as another admirer and fan of this school. They often appear on CDs cover arts when devoted to Respighi, Alwyn, Howells, Tippett, Holst, etc. This is the antithesis to Rafael's tastes. 

[Symphonic Addict]

Oh dear...this could be difficult, but here goes nothing...(in no particular order)

Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot - Moonlit Landscape, 1874



Egon Schiele - Four Trees, 1917



Paul Cézanne - The Lac d'Annecy, 1896



Odilon Redon - Melancholy, 1876



Henri Rousseau - Le Rêve, 1910

Much more to my preferences. Good taste, John!

There are many paintings in this thread I like very much indeed, but these three are new, and rather strikingly lovely to me. The second particularly so.

Thank you for your feedback. I like the way Vinogradov and Zhukovsky present light and shade. The below is  another work by V.

+1. The Burning of Giordano Bruno was particularly interesting to me as I admire the scientist/philosopher.

[Iota]

I agree. The light falling on the floor in the Vinogradov of your original post for instance, looks as if it's being dappled by water, beautiful! Thanks for the other painting, the authorial connection is visible straight away. Would love to see them in person.
