Most-Loved Works The paintings everyone already knows by heart, at full museum resolution.
Impressionism Broken light, loaded brushes, and a haystack painted forty different ways.
Romanticism Shipwrecks, sublime peaks, and feeling made larger than the figure.
Realism Gleaners, stonebreakers, and ordinary labour granted the scale of history painting.
Baroque Theatrical light, deep shadow, and saints caught mid-ecstasy.
Dutch Golden Age Merchant portraits, laid tables, and rooms lit from a single window.
Post-Impressionism Where colour stopped describing the world and started arguing with it.
Landscapes Open country, distant weather, and horizons painted to be walked into.
Portraits Faces from five centuries, each holding still long enough to be remembered.
Still Life Peeled lemons, spent candles, and flowers that never had to last.
Marine & Seascapes Tall ships, hard squalls, and harbours waiting out the tide.
Cityscapes Canals, cathedral fronts, and streets a century before the traffic.
