Ive recently gotten into painting and am looking for inspiration, so please hit me with your favorite artists. I’ve currently only done master copies and tutorials in the style of Van Gogh, but want to branch out. Unfortunately i didnt appreciate the required art appreciation class enough in college.

      I love Goya, but for me his early portrait works. They just glow with life! Though I definitely discovered him vis his darker paintings, particularly Saturn.

        Saturn Devouring His Son is actually so freaky. I can’t imagine what it was like for Goya to live in his house at the end of his life surrounded by all of his black paintings…
