    I've always found Van Gogh's work, expressive and at times emotionally charged. This epitomises his work and life, anguish, rejection, illness and depression etc, I cannot fail to be moved by it.

    What about you?

    For breadth of scale alone, the Forth Rail Bridge has to be one of the most impressive paintings of modern times.

    I came across this site where people have done some nice photoshops of Magritte paintings.
