I was put into an office of my own at work a few weeks ago. The walls are bare, so I've decided to brighten it up a bit, with this Egon Schiele painting, one I had in my room at university:

So many paintings are good. So why pick a "favourite" at all?

Here are some I like, though probably not my favorites.

It's called "Arnolfini Wedding Portrait", or something like that, and its by Jan van Eyck.

This is Giacomo Balla's "Lampada":
