Do you know Auden's wonderful poem on the Bruegel Icarus? It, and the painting, are full of a sad wisdom increasingly rare.

And it has almost become a cliche, but I could look at these two paintings by Velasquez for hours:

Las Meninas;

Innocent X. (See also Francis' Bacon's brilliant take on this, Screaming Pope.)

There is just so much going on in these paintings - visually and symbolically they create an illusion of depth, in every sense of the word, so realistic that seeing them up close can give you vertigo.

Almost anything by Fra Angelico, too. I am an atheist, but his works in their original settings are just drenched with faith and a life lived by it and for it. Heartbreaking and moving.
 
The only one in this thread that knows a lick about art is Bob. Nothing says class like dogs playing poker.
