who are your top 5 favorite artists (painters) and your fave of their works?
Hi, anon! Sorry about the delay with this one, I was on holiday.
My taste in the art of painting is not very unique, I must say. Well, yes, I've grown out of Monet or Van Gogh (no offence to them) but still, as interested in art as I am, I wouldn't be able to name more than a couple of my favourite painters at the drop of a hat.
But here's my top five:
Gustav Klimt, "Danaë"
Dante Gabriel Rossetti, "The Day Dream" (I like his study of this painting as well.)
Gustave Moreau, "Salomé"
Edward John Poynter, "The Visions of Endymion" and "The Ides of March"
Frank Dicksee, "The Two Crowns"
Thank you, anon! ✨ Hope you're having a wonderful day.

James Jacques Joseph Tissot (b.1836 - d.1902), 'The Visit of the Queen of Sheba', oil on panel, no date (c.1890-1902), French, for sale at M.S. Rau Antiques, New Orleans, LA, USA.
From M.S. Rau:
This exceptional oil by the great French master James Jacques Joseph Tissot captures a regal Queen of Sheba greeting the biblical King Solomon for the first time. The subject is one of a series of paintings composed by the artist following his conversion to Catholicism; first executed in gouache, these works were later published in a French edition of the La Sainte Bible in 1904. The present work, dating to his final years, is based upon one of these earlier illustrations and is arguably the more successful of the two. By comparison, the work exudes a drama that is absent from Tissot's gouache, while this Sheba has a mien that is far more regal and less subservient as she encounters the King on his dais.
The work closely relates to Sir Edward John Poynter's The Visit of the Queen of Sheba to King Solomon (Art Gallery of New South Wales) that dates to 1890, though Tissot chose a far more interesting vantage point that merely suggests King Solomon's presence beyond the steps to the right of the scene. Rather, Tissot's focus is solely on the Queen, surrounded by her bowing maidens and watched closely by the King's armed guards. The result is an anticipatory drama that is even more heightened by Tissot's muted palette of grey and golds. In both composition and atmosphere, it reveals Tissot's mastery of light, shadow, detail and form. (x)
