I would have to say Guernica, by Picasso.
I always liked it, but I got the chance to see it in Madrid last year, and I was truly impressed.. the details, the shadows, you can almost hear the screams coming from the painting.

Everything my daughter as painted since birth. If I really got to explaining why it impacts me so much, it'd end up a book (and I'd be crying). I'll leave it at: She's my daughter, and watching her love of the arts grow and develop is exciting, exhilarating, and brings me hope for humanity.
If you're asking about "fine art," I'd have to say Starry Night because an oil on canvas copy of it was the first painting I bought for my daughter's room, at her request. I'm just excited that she takes the time to look, to think, and to figure out which artists she likes. She told me she'd also like van Gogh's Sunflowers for her room. I don't know... I guess I'm just impressed that a 10-year-old in a technically impoverished single parent household maintains an appreciation for the arts.
I'm a sculpture person myself. Michelangelo's Pieta and Taft's Solitude of the Soul both bring tears to my eyes. Rodin also gets my blood pumping.

Wyeth's painting, Christina's World.
It was inspiring and hauntingly beautiful. Made me think of being a woman and struggling to make it as an artist in the big wide world.
Christina was actually unable to walk, and she still made her way around the farmland where she lived. He painted her as she lived.

I don't really have a favorite painting per say, but my favorite artist was Norman Rockwell. I love all his paintings of children. They remind me of days gone by and how simple life seemed as a child. Now days children seem so busy that they are not allowed to just be kids. They have too many extracurricular activities...baseball...soccer....basketball...you name it and kids are doing it these days.
Besides that I love the way Rockwell drew his characters...lanky and disproportioned. He was a great artist!

I once saw this "exotic dancer" rub all kinds of edible paint all over her body.
That's the "painting" that most impacted me! I almost did a little "painting" myself!

Picasso's "Old Guitarist". I saw it when I was like 5, and that's why I became an artist. It just had some crazy effect on me!
