Washington Crossing the Delaware
That painting has a funny history. It was painted by a German, depicts Washington leading an expedition to massacre Germans on Christmas, was kept in Germany, and then destroyed in an Allied bombing raid in WW2.
If we're doing statues and sculptures my favorite statue has to be "The Motherland calls" LINK
It's in Volgograd Russia (Stalingrad of old) and is roughly the size of the statue of liberty.

Sorry KS, that's a nice statue you got there, but everybody knows The Vulcan in Birmingham is tGOAT statue.

Yes, the tribute to our iron/steel industry is indeed awe inspiring.

You picked the two goofiest pictures, it doesn't look all that bad from other angles.

Absolutely degenerate. Great art ended with Romanticism.

I was long over due for a burn from Bowl, I'll take it.

Magnanimous and altruistic as always.

Mine’s probably Storm on the Sea of Galilee by Rembrandt. Not just because it’s a great painting but it was stolen out of a Boston museum about 30 years ago and its location is unknown. Just has some mystery to it.
If it were ever recovered there is no telling what its value would be after all the media attention.

Nothing wrong with burning a bowl every now and then.
