I’m game for some hawt art talk, but asking me favorite painter of all time is like asking you Mr. @YellowSnow your favorite band. Might be a more fruitful discussion if you narrow it down by era, region, etc.
Bruegel Sr. did have some great paintings. I loved “Peasants Dance”:
“Peasants Wedding” is great too:
If you like Dutch/Flemish genre painters, check out Jan Steen:

You can pick several famous painters if you like.
My AP Euro teacher in HS was a big Flemish masters guy. Took us to the Rubens museum in Antwerp on our first stop on HS Euro trip. -
Impressionists: Less is more, more is less
Mark Rothko (mid century) pieces
Matisse a favorite of Nazi fat-ass, Herman Goering who hijacked scores of fine paintings from European Jews.

I honestly can’t even pick even a few favorites, but I’ll try:
Hans Holbein is the GOAT of portraitists in my opinion, even if his Anne of Cleves commission got him in hot water with his patron, Henry VIII:
Mr. Chiaroscuro himself, Caravaggio. I love how his work is like a well lit theater scene.
Edward Hopper - remember seeing “Chop Suey” when it was at the SAM - super pissed when they didn’t get to keep it.

Basquiat

Probably Monet. Mrs Throbber v1.0 was into Monet in a big way - coffee table books, notecards, coasters...whatever she could get that had Claude's shit on it, she was down. Rather than be indignant, The Throbber has grown to appreciate Monet later in life.
Should have kept the Water Lilies print in the divorce settlement.

"Dogs Playing Poker" by Van Nostrom -
Hmmm...
Van Gogh is the Beatles of art.
I love Victor Vasarely, Salvador Dali, Ilya Repin, Ellsworth Kelly, Ivan Aivakovsky...
But of course the greatest painting of all time is Carte Blanche by Rene Magritte!

Corfu: Lights and Shadows
1909
John Singer Sargent (American, 1856–1925)
My favorite wife has a degree in fine arts. She taught me to appreciate how fucking hard it is to paint in water color. We have a print of this, it really pops against the filthy walls. When you relax and look at it, you can feel the warm Mediterranean breeze.

Sargent is another one of my favorites. And Wife #4 is right, painting with watercolors is tough.89ute said:Corfu: Lights and Shadows

While Sargent was so well known for is Edwardian portraiture of high society (His Portrait of Madame X being one of the most famous), he did a couple of paintings with Bedouins as subjects (also in watercolor...well, I think technically gouache which is similar, just more opaque) that are really striking:

You ever seen that soft porn with Kari Wuhrer where the guy throws paint all over her tight toned body? He's good.

Duh.
Honorable mention goes to my boy Jose who always comes out to slap a fresh coat of paint on the trailer whenever I ask. Great painter. Works cheap as well. Sometimes he brings me tamales his wife makes.
