Giuseppe Arcimboldo
	Summer
		Oil on canvas, 1573. Arcimboldo was an Italian painter, who later became court portraitist in Vienna. His conventional paintings of religious stories are lost. It is the portraits made up of fruit, vegetables, fish and tree roots that survive. They are also the reason the artist is often thought mad by art critics. Here we see Summer as a figure, one of four paintings personifying the seasons. Arcimboldo also produced portraits of real people in the same style, including Pope Rudolf II who was really pleased with it. Can be found in The Louvre Museum, Paris.
Hendrick Avercamp
	A scene in the Ice Near a Town
		Oil on wood, 1615. The whole town frolics on a frozen pond, each detailed character clearly visible against grey sky and ice. Deaf, dumb and Dutch, Avercamp was a portrait painter before being tutored by a print designer who knew about popularity. Fortunate then, because as church patronage withered away, artists had to catch the eye of private collectors. These lively landscapes, with their community spirit, combinations of decorative and realism, did just that. Can be found at The National Gallery, London.
Francis Bacon
	Study after Velazquez's Portrait of Pope Innocent X
		Oil on canvas, 1953. A pope screams in terror, as he is absorbed into the curtains around him. Bacon painted more than 40 versions of Velazquez's more traditional portrait of Pope Innocent X, with which he became obsessed. Bacon was a figurative painter - his art represents the human form, or something with strong references to it. He also suffered from asthma, which is why many of his figures have their mouths wide open, gasping for air. Can be found at Des Moines Art Center, USA.
	Painting 1946
		Oil on canvas, 1946. Bacon started exhibiting in 1930, most sales going to friends and family. At the end of World War II his grotesque and deformed figures suddenly became relevant, as allied forces discovered just what the Nazi's had been doing for the last ten years. In this picture we see the artist's common themes - tubular furniture, rotting meat, dictatorship, the diseased mouth gasping for air. Can be found at The Museum of Modern Art, New York.
	Self-Portrait
		Oil on canvas, 1971. Bacon was born in Dublin, his mother a party animal, his father a gruff race horse trainer who didn't approve of young Francis wearing his mother's underwear and lipstick. After leaving home and gorging on art exhibitions, Bacon discovered an interest in painting. His images of gnarled bodies may look imaginary, but the subjects are direct references to the World around him. Can be found at Musee National d'Art Moderne, Paris.
Giovanni Bellini
	Young Woman at her Toilet
		Oil on canvas, 1515. Giovanni transformed Venice into a centre of the Renaissance by developing a sumptuously colourful style using slow drying oil paints. He had an overwhelming religious fervour, and prospered well throughout his life decorating church interiors. Giovanni waited until he was about 85 years old before painting this, his first female nude. She represents the non-religious ideal of female beauty as well as looking a bit like the Virgin Mary. Can be found at Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna.
William Blake
	The Body of Abel Found by Adam and Eve
		Watercolor on wood, 1825.
	Nebuchadnezzar
		Print with watercolor and ink, 1795. Can be found at Tate Gallery, London.
	Glad Day
		Oil on canvas, 1794. Can be found at The British Museum, London.
Hieronymous Bosch
	The Tribulations of St. Anthony
		Oil on panel, 1516.
Fernando Botero
	Mona Lisa
		Oil on canvas, 1977.
	Ballerina to the Handrail
		Oil on canvas, 2001.
	The Toilet
		Oil on canvas, 1989.
Sandro Botticelli
	The Birth of Venus
		Tempera on canvas, 1482-1486. Botticelli was an Italian Pre-Renaissance painter, and this is one of the greatest works of Florentine art. Here we see Venus, the goddess of love and beauty, emerging from the sea as a full grown woman, blown ashore upon a clam. The length of her neck and the shape of her left shoulder are inhuman. This is a Pagan work, and lucky to survive burning. Can be found at The Uffizi Gallery, Florence. Tempera, a precursor to oil, is a rudimentary paint made with egg.
Giovanni Antonio Canal (Canaletto)
	Piazza San Marco
		Oil on canvas, 1730.
	View of the Molo
		Oil on canvas, 1725.
	The Grand Canal and the Church of the Salute
		Oil on canvas, 1730.
Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio
	Doubting Thomas
		Oil on canvas, 1599. Doubting Thomas is examining Christ's wounds after the Resurrection. Christ, the two apostles, and a massively insensitive Thomas are all dramatically portrayed against a non-existent background. This tense and vivid snapshot is Caravaggio's unique style. He was the first of a Baroque school that inspired so many juicy images from Titian and Raphael. Can be found at the Stiftung Schlösser und Gärten Potsdam Sanssouci, Potsdam.
	David Victorious over Goliath
		Oil on wooden panel, 1606-07. For Caravaggio, his passion and rebelliousness was not restricted to the canvas. He was a brawler, and a murderer, with an appetite for gore. His subjects were not models, but real people, alive or dead. He shows us beheadings, deaths, crucifixions, and sickness, but also less glorious subjects, such as a lute player, or a boy with a basket of fruit. Can be found at Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna.
Vittore Carpaccio
	Portrait of a Knight
		Oil on panel, 1525.
	Two Venetian Ladies on a Balcony
		Oil on panel, 1500.
Paul Cézanne
	Mont Sainte-Victoire
		Oil on canvas, 1898.
	Drapery, Pitcher, and Fruit Bowl
		Oil on canvas, 1894.
	Self-portrait
		Oil on canvas, 1882.
Marc Chagall
	Above the Town
		Oil on canvas, 1915.
	The Bride
		Oil on canvas, 1950.
Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin
	The Young Schoolmistress
		Oil on canvas, 1736. Self-taught master of still life, Chardin first painted fruit, then kitchen utensils, finally simple scenes of everyday life. This picture of school teacher and pupil in subdued colours and mellow lighting is typical of his style. Chardin had lifelong patronage from Louis XV, even when the fashion in 18th Century France was for historical scenes of inflated macho energy. Chardin's subjects were thought unworthy. For that reason his paintings are the only visual record of Paris's affluent class. Can be found at The National Gallery, London.
John Constable
	The Haywain
		Oil on canvas, 1821.
	Stratford Mill
		Oil on canvas, 1820.
Salvador Dali
	Dream Caused by the Flight of a Bumblebee around a Pomegranate a Second Before Awakening
		Oil on canvas, 1944.
	Sleep
		Oil on canvas, 1937. The act of sleeping is depicted here as a sort of monster sustained by the crutches of reality. Should one crutch snap, the delicate state will be broken.
	Lobster Telephone
		Oil on canvas, 1936.
Edgar Degas
	The Rehearsal
		Pastel on canvas, 1874.
	Singer with a Glove
		Pastel on canvas, 1878.
	L'Absinthe
		Pastel on canvas, 1893.
Marcel Duchamp
	Fountain
		Porcelain, 1917.
	Nude Descending a Staircase
		Oil on canvas, 1912.
Anthonis van Dyck
	King Charles I
		Oil on canvas, 1635. Van Dyck, was a Flemish Baroque artist who became England's leading court painter. He was a portrait artist and an expert draughtsman. Van Dyck's triple portrait of Charles I (with whom he shared the same beard) is his most famous work, and was intended for an Italian sculpture, to make a marble bust. The insight into the character of the subject that his portraits reveal came to dominate portrait painting for the next Century. Can be found at The Royal Art Collection, London.
Maurits Cornelis Escher
	Bond of Union
		Lithograph, 1956.
	Belvedere
		Lithograph, 1958.
Jan van Eyck
	Portrait of a Man in a Turban
		Oil on panel, 1433. Can be found at The National Gallery, London.
	The Arnolfini Marriage
		Tempera on wood, 1434. Can be found at The National Gallery, London.
Lucian Michael Freud
	Girl with a White Dog
		Oil on canvas, 1951-2. This is Kathleen, the artist's first wife, and an English bull terrier, together on a mattress. Both girl and dog, painted in pale bleak tones, share the same quietly intense stare. The girl's skin has been detailed in subtle tones creating an ivory quality, but with every flaw on display. Freud often painted his figures in sparse environments, with no extras except a pet or a plant and something for the sitter to sit on. Can be found at Tate Gallery, London.
	Reflection (self-portrait)
		Oil on canvas, 1985. This is one of a pair of self-portraits, the other being a profile. A skilled draughtsman and figurative artist, Freud paints the skin as a projection of the emotions that lie beneath. The results are stark and honest, physically mangled, showing the un-idealised nakedness of the subject. One of his sitters disliked the portrait so much he destroyed it. Lucien Freud, once described as the greatest living Realist painter, is the grandson of Sigmund, the Austrian psychoanalyst.
	The Queen
		Oil on canvas, this portrait of Queen Elizabeth II was painted in 2001 and presented to The Queen by the artist. No one in a Freud painting ever looks relaxed, and this portrait is no exception. The Queen wears an expression of stoicism and experience, as well as the same crown she is seen in when depicted on stamps and bank notes. Part of The Royal Collection of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
John Henry Fuseli
	The Nightmare
		Oil on canvas, 1781.
Thomas Gainsborough
	Mr and Mrs Andrews
		Oil on canvas, 1748-49. Gainsborough was a portrait painter by trade and a landscape painter by heart. His portraits were commissioned as celebrations of marriage and wealth. Meet the Andrews. They own wheat fields and sheep, and everything just short of the horizon. But are they not strangers to country life? He's got the wrong socks on. She's in a ball gown and slippers. Who's bringing in the sheaves? The gun dog may be more symbolic of love than of any practical function. Can be found at The National Gallery, London.
Paul Gauguin
	Woman with a Flower
		Oil on canvas, 1891. Can be found at Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, Copenhagen.
Théodore Géricault
	The Raft of the Medusa

	The Shootings of May Third 1808
		Oil on canvas, 1814. Can be found at Museo del Prado, Madrid.
Frans Hal
	Banquet of the Officers of the St. George Civic Guard
		Oil on canvas, 1616. By the 17th Century, portraits had come to reflect new cultural values. Less of the individual, more of the civic pride and personal duty. Here is a farewell banquet for the civic guard, a group portrait, in which the artist combines individual portraits in what could otherwise have been a row of heads. The realistic detail, emotive hum and fleeting gestures demonstrate the artist's Baroque style and frivolous realism. Can be found at The Frans Halsmuseum, Haarlem.
Richard Hamilton
	Just What Is It That Makes Today's Homes So Different, So Appealing?
		Collage on paper, 1956. Can be found at Kunsthalle, Tübingen.
Damien Hirst
	The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living
		Installation, 1991.
David Hockney
	A Bigger Splash
		Acrylic on canvas, 1967. Here, an unseen figure creates a splash, an explosion of sound in a sparse Californian landscape. A snapshot of an idyllic and vacuous lifestyle. Hockney, a Yorkshire lad, and expert draughtsman, was a leading member of the pop art movement during the 1960s. Pop art images are hard edged, and representational (not abstract), a reaction against the elitist, narrow-target culture of the time, abstract expressionism (blobs and drips). Can be found at Tate Gallery, London.
William Hogarth
	Gin Lane
		Engraving, 1751.
Edward Hopper
	Nighthawks
		Oil on canvas, 1942. The portrayal of the emptiness of modern urban life is a common theme throughout Hopper's work. Nighthawks, begun immediately after the attack on Pearl Harbour, depicts the feeling of gloominess that came over America at the time. Nighthawks can be found at The Art Institute of Chicago.
Wassily Vasilyevich Kandinsky
	Cossacks
		Oil on canvas, 1910-11. Can be found at Tate, London.
	Transverse Line
		Oil on canvas, 1923. Can be found at Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen, Dusseldorf.
	Improvisation 7
		Oil on canvas, 1910. Can be found at Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow.
Gustav Klimt
	The Kiss
		Oil on canvas, 1907. Two lovers in bright and beautiful robes, kiss, enfolded in a golden shroud of their union. This is Klimt's most famous scene of tense eroticism - the mosaic shapes, flat depth and use of gold leaf are typical of his paintings. His radical combination of styles celebrating human emotions in decorative patterns made him the primary force behind the Austrian Art Nouveau Movement. Spent his life devoted to sex and art. Can be found at the Österreichische Galerie, Vienna.

	In the Car

	Red Lamps

Bruce Nauman
	Life, Death, Love, Hate, Pleasure, Pain
	The True Artist Helps the World by Revealing Mystic Truths
Grayson Perry
	Two Children Born on the Same Day
		Ceramaic, 1996. Grayson Perry is primarily a ceramicist, but also a painter and author, a gingham-transvestite, a political intellect, and winner of the Turner Prize 2003 for a series of classically shaped vases. The artists work often conceals dark criticism of society and his childhood in seemingly innocuous objects such as pottery and headscarves.
Pablo Picasso
	Les Demoiselles d'Avignon
		Oil on canvas. Five prostitutes in a brothel in Barcelona, each drawn in a different style with the most Cubist of all on the far right. Picasso made hundreds of sketches before embarking on this work, which is now considered the catalyst of the Cubism movement. Picasso was inspired by African masks and Matisse's Blue Nude of the same year. Deemed immoral when first exhibited, can now be found at The Museum of Modern Art, New York City.
	Dove of Peace
		Coloured lithograph. After the Second World War, Picasso was commissioned to create a graphic symbol for the 1950 International Peace Congress meeting in Paris. He created this outline of a dove. Picasso was a pacifist, refusing to fight in both World Wars and the Spanish Civil War. He was also a socialist and a member of the French Communist Party. However his relationship with the Soviet government soured when they saw his portrait of Stalin.
	Guernica
		Oil on canvas. On April 26th 1937 General Franco requested the German Luftwaffe to carpet-bomb Guernica, a Basque town that had become a strategic focal point in the Spanish Civil War. This is Picasso's response to the attack, a vast mural 25 feet wide, in black and white to mimic newspaper print. This painting is non-representational. Instead Picasso shows us a scene of equivalent horror. With it he brought the reality of the Spanish Civil War to the World's attention. Can be found at Museo Nacional Reina Sofia, Madrid.
	Women Running on the Beach
		Oil on plywood. Two plump women find themselves unrestrained at the seaside. During his 75 years Picasso created thousands of paintings, prints, sculptures and ceramics. He embodied a wide variety of styles, sometimes using more than one style in the same painting. His personality and arrogance, and his innumerable affairs with women made him even more famous. He is the greatest artist of the 20th Century. The two women can be found at Musée Picasso, Paris,
Jackson Pollock
	Lavender Mist
	Convergence 10
Nicolas Poussin
	The Arcadian Shepherds
		Oil on canvas, 1637-8. Poussin was a French classical painter of the Baroque school. Here we see shepherds examining a tomb in a scene of almost irrational calm. Poussin's early pictures were overtly Baroque, but later in his career the artist's sense of logic and order moved him away from Baroque exuberance. Throughout his career Poussin remained loyal to classical themes and the universal truths they characterized, while his French contemporaries were making decorations. Can be found in the Louvre, Paris.
Raphael Sanzio
	The School of Athens
	St Catherine of Alexandria
	Il Spasimo
Paula Rego
	The Family
		Acrylic on canvas backed paper, 1988.
	Snow White Playing with her Father's Trophies
		Pastel on paper, mounted on aluminium, 1995.
Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn
	Self-Portrait
		Oil on canvas, 1661. Rembrandt painted more than 40 self portraits. They document his progress from artistic student to the most famous European portrait painter, and subsequent bankruptcy. Sometimes he pulls faces or wears fancy dress. This work, his most recognized self portrait, is Rembrandt when he had lost his money. Can be found at Kenwood House, London.
	The Anatomy Lecture of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp
	The Return of the Prodigal Son
		Oil on canvas, 1669. A father celebrates the return of his moronic son. It is a parable from the christian bible, often represented in art, demonstrating the virtues of repentance and forgiveness. Rembrandt's ability to penetrate the human character is demonstrated in the figure of old man, bent with age, charitable, loving. One of the artist's last paintings. Can be found at The Hermitage, St. Petersburg.
	The Slaughtered Ox
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
	Ball at the Moulin de la Galette
	Self-portrait
		Oil on canvas, 1910.
Auguste Rodin
	The Kiss
		Marble, 1886. Two people are locked in an embrace, frozen, their lips do not touch, their lust unsatisfied. The man holds in his hand a book, the story of two other adulterers, Lancelot and Guinevere. The soft curves, the passion of the embrace, the deeply pocketed surface, the pulsating emotion, all contrast with the rough lump of marble on which they sit. They are in hell. In 1886 The Kiss was too rude for public display, can now be found at The Musée National Auguste Rodin, Paris.
	The Thinker
		Bronze and marble, 1879-1889. Rodin was a French sculpture. His portrayals of the living human body were controversial in a time when his contemporaries were carving out mythological theatre and religious pomp. The Thinker and The Kiss were originally part of a much larger work, and only later in Rodin's life were exhibited as individual pieces. After his death he became the victim of changing aesthetic values. Rodin's work is now considered alongside Michelangelo's. Can be found in the garden of The Musée Rodin, Paris.
Mark Rothko
	Untitled: Orange and Yellow
Henri Rousseau
	The Monkeys
	Tiger in a Tropical Storm
Peter Paul Rubens
	The Judgement of Paris
		Oil on canvas, 1635. Rubens created a vast amount of work during his lifetime. He painted portraits and landscapes, but his biblical and mythological scenes with their emotive dynamism, deep rich colours, not too many bottoms on display, typify the Baroque style. Here we see Paris, a mortal, judging a beauty competition between Hera, Athena and Aphrodite. Whoever he chooses, he's got a problem. Can be found at The National Gallery, London.
	The Massacre of the Innocents
		Oil on canvas, 1635. Rubens was one of the greatest and most prolific painters of Baroque art. In this biblical drama we see the slaughter of babies ordered by King Herod. This crème passionel en masse is an opportunity for Rubens to compose a complex scene, with the heroic nude in violent action. At the time it was painted, another slaughter, between Catholics and Protestants, was going on outside. The most disturbing exhibit at The National Gallery, London.
John Singer Sargent
	Madame X
		Oil on canvas, 1884. Can be found at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
Wilhelm Sasnal
	Girl Smoking (Anka)

Walter Sickert
	Ennui
Sir Stanley Spencer
	Saint Francis and the Birds
	Swan Upping at Cookham
George Stubbs
	Whistlejacket
		Oil on canvas,1762. George Stubbs was an 18th Century Liverpudlian and self-schooled oil painter. He painted horses, but not just as four legged predecessors of the motorcar. Stubbs venerated horses, and his paintings show us horses as unworldly beings, disassociated from human drudgery by their power and elegance. Before he could do this he spent several months dissecting horses and studying their anatomy. Whistlejacket is his most famous work, and can be found at The National Gallery, London.
	Zebra
		Oil on canvas, 1762-3. Stubbs is most famous for his horses, but he also painted the wild animals found in private menageries. It was fashionable at the time to have a giraffe in the garden. This zebra stands in the English countryside, out of place and far from home. During his life Stubbs also painted portraits and historical paintings, and published illustrations on human and animal anatomy. Can be found at The Yale Center for British Art, New Haven.
Tiziano Vecelli (Titian)
	Diana and Actaeon

		Oil on canvas, 1565-1570. Can be found at The National Gallery, London, UK.
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec
	Dance at the Moulin Rouge
Joseph Mallord William Turner
	Rain, Steam, and Speed
		Oil on canvas, 1844. Turner was a Romantic in that he painted to convey the effect of a scene on the senses. He therefore required large and dramatic scenes, such as found in mythology and nature. In this painting of Maidenhead railway bridge, he captures light so intensely that the objects become almost unrecognizable, a style that made him a misunderstood and controversial figure during his life. Can be found in The National Gallery, London.
	The Fighting Temeraire
		Oil on canvas, 1838. Turner's painting captures light, colour and movement in pale glowing colours, a style that became the forerunner of French Impressionism. But unlike Impressionism with its emphasis on how light is perceived by the eye, Turner conveys the effect of a scene on the senses. The ship is to be broken up. The sun is setting. Gloom. Can be found in The National Gallery, London. The prestigious annual art award, The Turner Prize, was named in Turner's honour, but has little else to do with him.
	Dido Building Carthage
		Oil on canvas, 1815. An early exhibit, and one that would have been a purely neo-classical work, demonstrating the elegant styles of line and symmetry associated with the ancient Greeks and Romans. Instead this landscape is dominated by Turner's distinctive style of painting light. The chap in white on the left is Dido, who later kills himself. A doomed figure in an empiric landscape. Can be found in The National Gallery, London.
Jack Vettriano, OBE
	The Singing Butler
		Oil on canvas, 1991. His images of beaches, butlers and lovers are generally dismissed by fine-art critics, but he remains Britain's most popular artist.

	The Last Supper
		Oil on canvas, 1498. Can be found at Convent of Saint Maria delle Grazie, Milan, Italy.

	The Lady of Shalott
James McNeill Whistler
	Arrangement in Grey and Black: The Artist's Mother
		Oil on canvas, 1871. Also known as Whistler's Mother. Can be found at Musée d'Orsay, Paris.
Grant Wood
	American Gothic
		Oil on board, 1930. Wood combined the highly realistic style common to Early Renaissance art with the idea of a narrative story in pictures common to Gothic art. Wood is mostly associated with detailed 1930's rural scenes of Midwestern America, a style which became known as Regionalism. American Gothic can be found at the Art Institute of Chicago. The models are the artist's sister and dentist.
