As someone who has interned curating Renaissance Art at a mid-sized museum, I have to say I am a bit perturbed. Everyone one of these paintings is from the Western Art tradition and dates from the renaissance to about 1950. I agree with martinac that certain artists are overrepresented, but its impossible to compare art from such different eras. Perhaps you could compare these artists' influence, but then clearly this list would not hold. Even from this flawed perspective, I am still surprised, to be honest, that the following artists (and/or paintings) are omitted:
Before 1800:
Caravaggio - Bacchus
Anything by Titian
Raphael - School of Athens, etc.
Anything by Velazquez
After 1800:
Rene Magritte - probably "Ce N'est Pas Une Pipe"
Max Beckmann
Jackson Pollock
Pablo Picasso
Paul Gauguin
Henri Matisse
Paul Cezanne
Sorry about not getting back to you in a timely fashion. Rainbow To the Stars is a classic! How did I forget that! **Added**
Million Miles From Home is ok **Honorable Mention**
I don't like Forever Young covers, since I am such a fan of the Alphaville version, but interactive is good. **Added**
Have You Ever Been Mellow is ok **Honorable Mention for now...**
I know Love, Life & Happiness! **Honorable Mention/low on list**
I Wanna Be A Hippy is just silly... **Honorable Mention**
I have been listening to trance for over a year now and am certainly not an expert. I was wondering what your opinion on Tiesto's In Search of Sunrise 3 was? It doesn't seem to be listed here, I thought it was pretty good, can you tell me what you think?
