Best Paintings of all Time

Some of my favorites are not because of the beauty of the paintings but because of the theme, usually one that has never been painted before. Cornelis Cornelisz Van Haarlem's (1562-1638) Fall of the Titans is one of those paintings. The composition is very unusual in a good way.

Same thing happens here in brazilian painter's Vitor Meirelles (1832-1903) most famous work 'First Mass' with it's rich details.
