I'm going to make this my "favorite artworks" kind of thread, like some have their own music/personal threads and such on here.
But I'd love if you share your favorites as well! I'll mostly post old paintings, I'm guessing around 1600-1800 era, since that's what I'm very interested in but feel free to post any kind of art you'd like.
Who's your favorite artist/painter? Do you draw/paint/create yourself?
What piece of art have you recently found? What's your absolute favorite piece? Do you have a special piece that started your interest?
Among my favorites are Artemisia Gentileschi, Caravaggio, Elisabetta Sirani, Salvator Rosa and Peter Paul Rubens but there's a lot more.
Recently I've been very enamored with this particular painting.
"Two Mothers" by Léon-Maxime Faivre ( 1888 )
And my all time favorite piece is this one.
"Witches going to their Sabbath" by Luis Ricardo Falero ( 1878 )
And the painting that started my interest into art was this one. We had an assigment in fith or sixth grade to choose from a few picked artworks and paint our own version of it. I don't remember what paintings you could choose from except the one that spoke to me.
idk anything about art but i love this. it's literally in centre of our town and cry everytime i walk pass it because i love it so much so i just wanted to share that

It's beautiful, I can only imagine to see that in real.

I'd suggest checking out Google Arts & Culture, there's an app for it. It's a good start at least, they have tons of artworks but also historic events, photography and such.You can check categories like artists, mediums, art movements, time periods and even colors (my favorite).
