I love the Arnolfini wedding portrait by Jan Van Eyck. When I studied abroad in London, my classroom building was virtually next door to the National Gallery so I'd go visit it a few times a week

This is a great thread! As snowqueen said, there are too many great artists and it's very difficult to pick only a few:

Kate Moss by Paul Normansell - the first time I saw his work I thought it was digital art!his technique of gloss on aluminium is amazing.
