In the last 1000 years? My final two would have been The Statue of David or Bleak House and I'm afraid Dickens would have got it. My sneaky choice for the 1000 years before would indeed have been Petra. Your choice? The Pyramids from then? Mona Lisa for this millennium?

Not much of an answer but during a recent visit to the Tate Modern I was struck by a canvas that was completely blue. It may sound a bit rubbish but it was a most excellent blue. Can't remember the title or artist. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

Ah I think this is the famous blue (but not famous enough for me to remember its name!). Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

My choice would probably be the Trevi Fountain in Rome. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

Completely at a tangent, any work by Clarice Cliff. My favourite artist, although notably a potter technically.
I have commissioned a wall size painting in her style "Trees and House", which has had to be altered slightly due to copyrite, I do hope it will be my fave piece ever, but I have not seen it yet!
Apart from that, any Constable painting.

The all blue painting is 'Blue' by Joan Miro - a wonderful Spanish artist. The other fantastic artist that used solid blocks of colour to incredible effect was the American genius MARK ROTHKO. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

I still find this a very hard question though, I am surrounded by art deco masks, which I adore, my favourite view of Hampshire, which was painted for me, and collages of my own screenprints, this thread has made me think of influences as much as anything.
And would I love to own a Hockney or what? I love the swimming pool paintings.
