john constable
william blake
j.m.w. turner

[duke o' york]

LS Lowry.

Is it anti-Britain week at OT this week?

Next week: can anyone name a decent Mongolian dictator?

[Ben Kenobi]

John William Waterhouse.

Seriously, this isn't a hard question.

[MOBIUS]

There's loads!

My favourites include:

Alma-Tadema (OK, really Dutch but lived in England)
Burne-Jones
Hogarth
Landseer
Rosetti
Banksy (!)
Hockney
Lowry
Leighton
Collier
Blake
Waterhouse

Other famous ones:

Constable
Turner
Gainsborough
Hirst (Debatable!)
Bacon
Morris

+ loads more!

John William Waterhouse.

My God, Ben actually exhibits some taste!

Check out Alma-Tadema & Burne-Jones as well then...

[Ben Kenobi]

I would love to buy a print of his when I can afford one. He's amazing.

I haven't heard of the others, but I'll look into them.

Wow, those two are awesome as well. I don't know enough artists from this period. Thanks Moby!

[Al B. Sure!]

English painters? What's next? German wine? Japanese sprinters? Saudi manual laborers?


By the way, speaking of cultures that don't paint much... I dare anyone to find me an Arab painter that's not from the last century or so. Go ahead and try.

I've only heard of Turner (I think).

OP's point stands.

[Ben Kenobi]

Seriously, search for Waterhouse or the two folks who moby spoke about.

Is that a trick question, or did you forget about Genghkis Khan?

German wine Al? You're so ****ing ignorant sometimes.

[Dinner]

Me likie some Rhein Wine.

[MRT144]

I know that Al probably only knows wine that's fortified and sold at the corner store.
