I have a print of this one framed on my wall. I feel very connected to the piece. In many subtle ways it expresses who I am spiritually and emotionally.

Duchamp. The Large Glass, correctly known as the bride stripped bare by her bachelors, even.




Caravaggio. I was lucky enough to see this in person (its MASSIVE) in the cathedral in Valletta last year. It may not look like much, but its extraordinary. Id always loved it, but its imposing and remarkable in life.

John William Waterhouse's "The Lady of Shalott" (1888) is the most beautiful painting I've ever seen. Like Brenna said about the Caravaggio painting, seeing this in person is an extraordinary experience. If you happen to be in London at some point, stop by the Tate Britain and check it out. The depth of detail and color is genuinely breathtaking, and it conveys an indescribable level of emotion.

Oh I LOVE that one. I love pre raphelite work, Waterhouse in particular!

"The Scholar Immortal"

“Eyes closed, he hears an inner music; he is lost in thoughts and questions— His spirit rides to the eight corners of the universe, his mind a thousand miles away. And then the inner voice grows clearer as objects becomes defined. and he pours forth the essence of words, savouring their sweetness. He drifts in a heavenly lake, he dives to the depths of seas. And he brings up living words like fishes hooked in their gills, leaping from the deep; And beauty is brought down like a bird on an arrowstring shot from passing clouds... He sees past and present commingle; he sees the whole Four Seas in the single blink of an eye.“
