Very hard to select the 12 most famous paintings. The selection is definitely very good. Just a few honorable mentions: - The Sistine Chapel (Michelangelo) - The school of Athens (Raffaello) - Las Meninas (Velasquez) - Bal du moulin de la Galette (Renoir) - The third of May 1808 (Goya) - Wanderer above the sea fog (Friedrich) - The Tower of Babel (Bruegel the Elder) - The Son of Man (Magritte) - Napoleon crossing the Alps (David) - The garden of earthly delights (Bosch) - The birth of Venus (Botticelli) - Guernica (Picasso) - The raft of the Medusa (Géricault) - Turquoise Marilyn (Warhol) - The wedding at Cana (Veronese) - Arnolfini portrait (van Eyck) - Girl with balloon/Love is in the bin (Banksy) - Liberty leading the people (Delacroix) - A Sunday afternoon on the island of La Grande Jatte (Seurat)
I agree. These would not be my picks but they are very good.

On a lighter note, the mispronunciations of Dutch were bizarre.

yea, I have also been lucky and seen most of these myself in person. I might quibble a bit however with their list.

Also, keep in mind this list has strong western european and American bias. There are some very good, but obscure paintings from all over the world that simply do not get the press they deserve.

That enigmatic glance would have me contemplating the work for hours should I ever visit the Mauritshuis museum in The Hague.

I have been to the Mauritshuis museum 5+ times. Mainly to see this very painting … but Vermeer’s famous “View of Delft” is there as well. Plus, Vermeer’s “Diana and her Companions”. These 3 paintings are very different from the rest he painted. (Most with stained glass windows to the left (giving the purpose of light) & usually a map or painting on the back wall, also normally including some type of tapestry or cloth to catch your eye.) The Mauritshuis is a definite Must See!! Full of priceless works of art. (Room full of Rembrandt’s as well)

One of my all time favourite paintings is Magdalen With The Smoking Flame by Georges de la Tour. Two versions of this exist, one in The Louvre and one in The Los Angeles County Museum Of Art. Both were painted circa 1640. I prefer the Los Angeles version. Apparently a local gypsy girl posed for the work. She crops up in a couple more of de la Tour's paintings of Mary Magdalen. She was clearly a beautiful woman - and a real one, too - but we have no idea who she was or what her life was like and yet, hundreds of years after her death she is immortalised in these wonderful paintings. What I find fascinating is the oil in the candle, it's so lifelike, there's a real sense of how thick and impure it is. The light the candle throws and the shadows it creates really give a sense of what life was like before gas and electricity, how dark the night actually is.

A friend of mine had a Monet Water Lilly pic in his dining room. His sister had one, too! (Yes, real ones!) 'Loaded' might be one adjective for them. But as unpretentious as could be! He was absolutely delightful!

I've been very lucky and have seen many of these. I like Girl With A Pearl Earring a lot better than Mona Lisa.

Definitely agree with you! Vermeer is one of my favorite painters.

@@human7491. Yes, I'm afraid that the Mona Lisa falls under that category of paintings which 'art experts' deem to be an elite artistic expression but when we ordinary folks view it, we see nothing there. It's like going to a retail art store where paintings are on display and coming across a painting that you can't make heads or tail of, yet it sells for thousands.

But the story behind the Mona Lisa is infinitely better. How da Vinci worked on this painting until the day he died, for almost 15 years, technically leaving the painting unfinished. How he obsessively took the painting with him everywhere he went, eventually ending up in France. How there may have originally been two Mona Lisa's, but one is lost, only to be remembered via sketches by Rafael. How the painting was stolen by an Italian nationalist who felt the painting should be in Italy. Such rich history.

It's surprising how small the Dali painting is when you see it in person.

Totally agree with you. That motivates us to go to the museum.
