Gabriël Metsu - Man Writing a Letter  and Woman Reading a Letter, both from mid 1660s, located in National Gallery of Ireland, Dublin.

Makes me happy, looking at these works by Metsu. The light, heavenly.

Renoir: In the Meadow, 1888-92


Young Girls at the Piano, 1892

Harry Bowden (1907 - 1965)

[Henk]

Tyeb-Mehta (1925 – 2009). Indian artist





Seems to be to me a sort of crossing between Picasso and Matisse.

[Henk]

Also Bacon influences.



Don't know if I really like it and what the artist wanted to express with it. A bit spooky it is. However the artist is certainly skilled and I like the forms and colors.

Maybe because the influences are clearly visible, and the artist didn't really succeed in make it his own, it's not really great art.

Japanese artist, Fujinraijin Tawaraya (early 17th century)

Another Indian artist, Vasudeo Gaitonde (1924 - 2001). From very traditional to more modern. He remained close to his roots, which results in much more interesting works imo.

Renoir

You could put nearly his entire output in this thread and still be on point....

[Henk]

Astrid Krogh

I would like to say yes to this, but ... uh... I suppose you aren't familiar with all of his works from the 'dry period' when he renounced Impressionism? Some good work among them too, but some are hideous. But I shan't post any, as this is the 'Art that you like' thread.

To take my mind off that hideousness, Seurat's Parade, Bathers in Asnières and A Sunday on La Grande Jatte

Rembrandt

Monet



Cezanne





Otto Dix



Munch



Sickert

[Jaakko Keskinen]

I usually enjoy Goya but I'm always terrified by that one portrait. In a bad way. This page has at least 4 paintings/pictures that give me nightmares. Of those four, two are enjoyable in some odd way despite their terror-inducing qualities. A weird attraction. Munch not only managed to create in the Scream a terrifying and terrific painting but also, painted onto the frame, the greatest description of a panic attack, ever.

I went to a small Monet exhibit with my family during past weekend that was structured around the theme of bridges. This painting particularly stuck with me, maybe because I haven't seen many Monet pictures with that specific tone of color:
