Many favorites, including Durer.  I\'m glad someone else mentioned him, but that woodcut is not the best example.  His paintings were unbelievable.

John Singer Sargent.
When I saw this painting in the MFA Boston, I was astounded.  The size is unbelievable.

-Alex Ross of comic books, because they all look so real, it\'s freaky!  I can\'t read comic books unless they\'ve got a good amount of effort put into the illustrations.  That\'s probably why I\'ve read just about all the comics that Ross has done the illustrations for.


-Normon Rockwell (don\'t know what genre), because his works are always good for a little humor when needed.  Something very homely and simplistic about his work that attracts me.  This is called "Roadblock."


-Lord Frederick Leighton (I forget what the genre is called...Victorian Neoclassicism?).  I like his work the most because his subjects are always sweet, powerful, or contemplative.  The use of light and positioning is fabulous.  This is called "The Painter\'s Honeymoon."


-William Bouguereau (also of Victorian Neoclassicism). His work is just as simplistic as Leighton\'s but I like Leighton\'s subjects more.  However, in my opinion, Bouguereau\'s works... anyone can appreciate them.  This is called "L\'Innocence" or "Innocence."


-Raphael from the Renaissance, especially his Madonna pieces.  His use of color and most of his subjects are pretty good.  His work is a little lighter than Leonardo di Vinci\'s works.  This is called "Madonna of the Meadow."
And though she be but little, she is fierce.

I like Jim Davis and Charles Shultz. Their comics kick ass.
