Have decided to post my favorite artworks for the rest of the quarantined days. One painting a day. I will stop the day I get out of the house.

Nighthawks by Edward Hopper.

The Return of the Prodigal Son by Rembrandt

Claude Monet not only imported water lilies from around the world but also had a gardener whose job was to paddle a boat onto the pond each morning, washing and dusting each lily pad. Monet painted them only after they were clean.

This guy's work is one of the first that I was introduced to almost 6 years ago. Has been a source of inspiration since then.

This guy cleaned statues, was a janitor, got expelled from 2 high schools, couldn't afford to go home for his father's funeral, & died in a car accident(1956). In 2006 No. 5 became the world's most expensive painting, & was sold for $140M.

Lady with a fan by Gustav Klimt

When I was in school we had to recreate one of the Renaissance paintings in our art class. I chose this, my friend sat in a pose very similar to this and instead of the animal she held an empty bottle of Ballantine's. Good times.

Lady with an Ermine by Leonardo da Vinci

The Japanese artist known for TheGreatWave was also famous for his erotic prints. This one shows the story of Princess Tamatori, a shell diver who, pursued by the god of the sea & his octopi, cuts open her breast to hide her lover’s pearl

Dream of the Fisherman’s Wife by Hokusai

After painting The Scream, this artist checked himself into a mental health hospital because he claimed he was hearing voices. His piece titled Anxiety, painted after The Scream, looks eerily similar to the famous painting.

The Scream & Anxiety by Edvard Munch

Love love love this surrealist painter. "I am painting pictures which make me die for joy, I am creating with an absolute naturalness, without the slightest aesthetic concern, I am making things that inspire me and I am trying to paint them honestly."
Elephants by Salvador Dali

Following her divorce, she sought to reinvent herself. In an act of defiance against her ex-husband, she painted this particular piece.
