I'm just back to our hotel having spent the afternoon at Vienna's Kunsthistorisches Museum. Load by Breugels the elder; this was my favourite.

The Wedding at Cana - Paolo Veronese

It can be found directly opposite the Mona Lisa in the Louvre, and in my opinion is infinitely more impressive. The sheer size and detail of the painting is almost unbelievable.

I like it as well, looks like he's smoked too much doobie.

Found another fabulous Dore engraving earlier

800px-Idylls_of_the_King_3.jpg

It's of Camelot, as depicted in Tennyson's Idylls of the King

I have the illustrated Dante's Inferno which is amazing.

However he was the Damian Hirst of his day.  He signed works off but actually got underlings to do them.  If you look at his Inferno for instance many of the pictures are clearly the work of different artists with noticeably different styles.

George Flegel was a German artist from 16th/17th century who did some interest still life pictures that have a sort of eerie quality to them.  Most of them are of food items but usually with a variety of bugs - flies, bees, dragonflies, etc dotted around.

Australian artist, Russel Drysdale's "Grandma's Sunday Walk" painted in 1972 just before he lost his sight sold for A$2.97m at auction in Adelaide today. Fifth highest price for an Australian painting.
