I'm sure there's been a billion of these threads.
Just post your favorite traditional artist's work or works.

I happen to really like Rembrandt's work, especially for how well he captures emotion and likeness in his portraits. His use of composition is amazing, theres much to be learned from it. Last of all, his stuff is mostly done is oils which i really like. Here's one of my favorites of his:

Too many to list and I don't really like throwing around the title of favorite. But I've been really into Delacroix lately.

Yeah, Leonardo would probably be my very close second pick. I have a lot of respect for him mainly because he was good at so damn many different things.

Pierre Bonnard
I don't exactly know what attracts me to his paintings. When I look at them, I almost feel the hot day on my skin.

Edward Hopper
I love the slightly surreal mood in his art.
