He looks like his in a kung-fu stance...
Wow, I really like the first painting Yama posted.
"Disrobing of Christ" by El Greco
Typical El Greco style ; the people are elongated and really bright colors. People tend to either love it or hate it; I love it. Plus he was a progressive painter (notice the women in the foreground, and next to Jesus
; unheard of for his time.)

Sorry about that. My links aren't working properly.
how do you post a pic??????
well... i'll give this a go...
Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres: Jupiter and Thetis
Jupiter fell in love with Thetis, but once he learned that her offspring would one day supercede his father, he would not take Thetis as his wife and lover. This picture shows him imploring him... touching his chin. something that at the time (of the painting?) was kind of taboo... very intimate thing to do. i like the tensions of this painting.

Gustav Klimt: The Kiss
Very symbolic and very passionate... her dress adorned with circles (feminine symbol), his with rectangles ('rods'... masculine).

Gary Baseman: Happy Idiot, Pervasive Art, Unattainable Beauty series
it's (his words)"...allegory about desire, longing, sex, the acceptance of man's attraction to unattainable beauty"
Gary Baseman is the man behind the artwork for the Cranium games and the cartoon 'Teacher's Pet'.

Francisco De Goya: Saturn Devouring His Son
His late work... probably the freakiest piece of his career. What can i say... i have a morbid side and i appreciate the tortured psychology in it.

My idol.
My favorite painter is Hundertwasser. You can see the Klimt and Schiele influences in his work. Both whom I adore.
I also love Modigliani.
