I am a great fan of the flemish and dutch painting form XV-XVII century, and choose "Enjoying the Ice" ( about 1630-34) by dutch painter Hendrick Avercamp. ( Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam )

Your favorite painting......I know, its not easy for anybody to choose a one between so many that we like.... but if you really have to....let us post them directly as some kind of The Water Cooler Art Gallery...it will be interesting to see...whom, which style or age the members prefer.

I think this one but I liked a small, unknown 16th century Christian painting in the Louvre that I can't find now.
I seem to recall though that we shouldn't post lots of images? Is that true?
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

My tastes run more towards sculpture; however, I've always had a soft spot for the following by Pieter Bruegel the Elder

(Don't suppose anyone can tell me how to actually insert an image?)

I want my opponents to leave my table with a smile on their face and without matchpoints on their score card - in that order.

This guy is sitting alone at the bar when a sultry, long-haired blonde temptress walks up to him and whispers in his ear, "I'll do anything you want for $100."
The guy nods and says, "O.K. Come by tomorrow and paint my house."

click on "add reply". There's a whole bunch of "code buttons" at the top of the page. Click on "IMG". You should get a box in which to enter a url.

Not sure I could think of a painting.
As for photographs, though, I do have a clear favourite.

Still decidedly intermediate - don't take my guesses as authoritative.

I like Norman Rockwell and some comics, if comics classifies as paintings. Editorial cartoons and Calvin and Get Fuzzy (though it's getting stupid now), things like that. Also like oil paintings with interesting themes and subjects, not the abstract kind of artwork.
I've tried for 2 days to find this traditional Chinese art painting to link here, but can't find it anywhere. Don't know the name or artist. I liked it a lot. It's an epic painting depicting life in China in some dynasty or other. Everyone going about their lives, and apparently no occupation was repeated in the painting. It's extra long (horizontal) and stretches many meters. It seems rare to find a traditional Chinese style painting like that that focuses on people and what they do, instead of grand features like mountains and valleys, horses and waterfalls and gods and goddesses.

Click on > button below the image to see each portion. They've interspaced portions with comments and other stuff, but almost everything up to the calligraphy one with words is part of the painting.

Sea and Rain: Variations in Violet and Green
J.M Whistler, France, 1865
The colors are off in this JPEG, but I couldn't find a better version. Obviously there are many many works of art that really speak to you when you see them in person, but this was probably the first painting that ever did that to me many years ago. I imagine now that my mood and the day were such that it really had an impact on me at the time, and still does now, though maybe not as much as others.
I have to agree with the OP about XV century Dutch art. One of my longtime favorites is Jan van Eyck.
