How could everyone have ignored Turner? This has always been one of my favorites. Of course, I like marine paintings.

The dress looks like a photograph!

Also, not for its aesthetics, but Winslow Homer’s “Return of the Mistress” because of its “wow” factor: the distinctiveness positions of the women reveal the scene takes place Post-Civil War

I also have too many Impressionists works I love so much.
