Re: Your favourite artist?

I visited the Musee D'Orsay last year (was it last year? Yes, I think it was!)...and I think it was the D'Osay. Maybe the Louvre? No, definitely the D'Orsay!

ANYWAY...there was a huge picture in one of the rooms at the side, huge, took up a wall by itself and it showed a group of people in a desert, I believe, and they looked so exhausted and sun beaten. It was such a powerful painting. I still have the guide to the museum, but I can't remember whereabouts the painting was so I can't track down the artist's name! But it really grabbed my attention, I spent so long looking at it and I think I went back a couple of more times before I had to leave to see it again. If I ever remember what painting it is and track it down, I shall post it...
