name the greatest painter?

Answer 1

Picasso. He learned all the rules, and then broke them.

Answer 2

IMHO, there can be no one greatest painter. But since you asked:

Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres. Absolutely the most brilliant draughtsman in history. Ingres said "Drawing is the probity of art" -- by which he meant painting. His paintings reflect his uncanny skill as a draughtsman.

The amazing thing about his pencil studies, when you really look carefully at them, as you must if you are trying to copy one with pencil in hand, is that he was capable of a devastingly accurate single bounding line around a form. No multiple runs at a shape, no fuzzying up to the actual line, no approximations -- the man flat knew how to draw.

Since the great Dali keeps getting referenced here, let me add that Dali revered Ingres too, as he did Velasquez and Vermeer.

Answer 3

The greatest painters were in the Baroque period. They were Jan Vermeer van Delft and Diego Velasquez. After them, we have the Renaissance masters: Raphael Urbino, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Titian and Giorgione. Salvador Dali agrees with me that Vermeer and Velasquez were best. Dali's own score he gives himself is far below Vermeer's. He said one drop of Vermeer's divine paint is worth more than all of the paintings that came later. He says Picasso was destructive to art. The Impressionists were childish, and Dali refutes their philosophy. The Post-Impressionists were little better. Dali says some of them could paint as well with their feet. Some people here name Picasso, Van Gogh, etc. as greatest, but they were crude amateurs compared to the Baroque masters.
