    The Dali thread inspired me to check out the tastes of a bunch of chess players. While I like some of Dali's work, my favorites are:
    1. Munch
    2. Cezanne
    3. Bosch

    Honorable mention...Goya

    Robyn Hitchcock, with Bob Dylan coming in a close second (yes, I said a close second).

    Waterhouse, Millais, Rossetti, Rubens, Klimt, Leighton...and an endless of others in other styles, but my favourites are Pre-Raphaelites 🙂

    Jacques-Louis David. His painting "The Sabine Women" is awesome and beautiful. Took my breath away.
