#1 was in my top 10 and Bosch's Death and the Miser are top 25. Fantastic choices.
I'm grateful for #4 as this is completely new to me. I am going to sit on this one for a while. Thanks for sharing.
I spent 2.5hrs at the Prado, drinking in The Garden of Earthly Delights, I love this work.
Strolling around the playful work that is Parc Güell, is just a delight.
I'll never forget seeing the portait of Gertrude Blood in the National Portrait Gallery. Finding out later, that she went up against the Victorian state, in her divorce case, added to my appreciation of this painting.
And a good top choice of Danse sacrée.
I'm pretty sure that is another one that stopped me in my tracks at D'Orsay. At the end of one side of the Terrasse des Sculptures. Exceptional carving work.
