Favorite Works of Art

I seriously doubt the members of NB are... mature/sophisticated/civilized enough to have a thread about this... BUT, we will see.

So, what are your favorite works of art? It can be anything from the style of the famous Da Vinci

This chilling modern art work is called Forgotten Man. It depicts modern domestic and economic policies/bills that modern presidents would have considered an accomplishment, a step in the right direction; for the Founding Fathers, anger and confusion.

Now that I peer further, it seems the artist placed Ronald Reagan in with the early presidents. Ah well, art has had bias since the very beginning.

Anything by Jean Leon Gerome. Pollice Verso is amazing.
