Speaking of Hiroshige, I really love his art too. I enjoy the simplicity and almost graphic quality of Japanese art in general. Shodo, sumi-e, ukiyo-e etc.

Plum Garden, Kaneido; Ando Hiroshige:

I have a sneaky suspicion that someone else will be posting Laocoon but here is The Burial of the Count of Orgaz, one of my favorite El Greco paintings:



Unfortunately, this painting is so huge and exquisitely detailed it's almost impossible to post a digital version of it that does it full justice.
