Maybe I am just a Phillistine, but I do not really get the point of coloured blocks on canvas. :P I mean, I do not dislike it or anything. Just does not really do anything for me.

Probably something by El Greco. Here's the Burial of Count Orgaz

Mochi's Annunciation - the first sculpture of the Rococco period. I think the terrifying Gabriel and the terrified Mary are probably more emotionally accurate than most depictions.
