Trickster
My faves in no particular order. I don't know how to attach multiple files, so they're going in seperate posts. I also am not sure of the names of the pieces. I think this is called 'The Ambassadors' by Holbein.

Trickster
Escher, not sure of the name though. Sorry. I also like the waterfall one, and I'm going to post that next.

Trickster
Okay, I can't get that pic to upload, but it's famous, and easy to find. Waterfall(I think) by Escher.

Okay, my last two choices(cos I can;t think of a final one) is a webcomic that I like a lot!

http://www.megatokyo.com/index.php?strip_id=1

There's a lot of them... wink

Trickster
Actually, the drawing gets a lot better further into the comic. Look at the last couple to see what I mean.

Vermeer - The Kitchen Maid
John Howe - A Song for Arbonne
John Howe - Celtic Myth
John Everett Millais - Ophelia
Renoir - The Gust of Wind

KharmaDog
There are so many favourites I don't think I could pick a top five, but my favourite is definitely Franz Marc's Large blue Horses

SaTsuJiN
I like the pieta because the interaction between the 2 figures is so dramatic (along with the different detailed interaction between cloth and skin)

Fionnoula
i managed to upload one of my favourites, i couldn't do it before, this is A Song for Arbonne by John Howe

The Gust of Wind by Renoir, it looks alot better from far away and in real-life as it's Impressionistic
