Was stopping in to name this exact painting. I’ll add another from the Frick Collection: Lady Hamilton. Probably my favorite painting of all time. I can stare at her for hours.
Additionally, anything by Leonardo, Hieronymus Bosch, or Salvadore Dali must be preserved.
I’ll bring this.
I second this, lokij. Do five or ten a week! You’ll get traffic.
She was certainly a beauty. See the last painting linked in my post #106, too.
Aww. Thanks guys. Maybe I will, I just thought the full hundred would be completely overbearing and something nobody would want to slog through. Your idea to do ten a week sounds fun though. Question. Should I post them here in this thread or make a new one?
In your place, I would start a new thread, then come back to this way and post a link to the new thread in a post so anyone watching this one knows about it.
Seconded!
I already seconded, Isildur. 
Lokij, if you decide to do this, and if you don’t know how to post a link to one thread in another, PM me.
I propose to replace it with another painting by da Vinci : The virgin, child and Saint Anne
Rembrandt’s “The night watch” seems mandatory.
And for my own pleasure, Gustave Moreau’s Jupiter and Semele
No way! Stainted glasses are a different art form, and we’re going to take 100 of them too. Obviously beginning with “Notre-Dame de la belle verriere” from Chartres. No link, because showing a picture of a stainted glass is pointless. You can’t appreciate the famous Chartes’ blue this way.
Well…no. We’ll keep the Death of Socrates or whatever else instead.
First, this painting is huge. Like in gigantic. We wouldn’t have room for anything else in the cargo.
Second, it’s pure propaganda. Probably the reason why Napoleon wanted it to be larger than any other painting in existence.
Third, I don’t like Napoleon hence don’t want, when visiting our museum, to have to look at an absurdly oversized picture dedicated to his glory, and probably taking almost as much room as all the other paintings together.
Did I mention this work was too large and depicting a dictator?
Now, I’ve no problem with taking Liberty guiding the people by Delacroix. Despite it being rather large, I like this political message much more.
Those are all fair points. All right, let’s dump Napoleon’s crowning for Howard Chandler Christy’s masterful painting of the signing of the U.S. Constitution: http://www.visualphotos.com/photo/1x6743642/signing_of_the_constitution_of_the_us_howard_c_900-2366.jpg
I forgot to make this post yesterday when I started my thread. My picks from eleven to twenty can be found here.
I did not appreciate Klimt until I went to Vienna.
At least one work by Howard Pyle, his protégé N.C. Wyeth, Maxfield Parrish, Edward Burne-Jones and, possibly, W.W. Denslow.
OMG can’t forget Arthur Rackham!
You have presented the best argument of anybody so far in this thread.
We’re not dumping the whiskey for stained glass windows.
I would have to take Jean-Etienne Liotard 1743-1745, The Chocolate Girl. It is the most beautiful pastel of all time
I went to a Dali exhibition in Atlanta last year. I was draw in his painting of his deceased brother. Portrait of my Dead Brother 1963. Very haunting.
