Study of a Tuscan Landscape (1473)

   
  Study of a Tuscan Landscape is Leonardo da Vinci's earliest known drawing. I like this style:

The Birth of Venus

  The birth of Venus is a famous work of Alexandre Cabanel (1823–1889)^{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandre_Cabanel}, who was a French painter.
 It's one of my favorite paintings. It's one of the best examples of the Academic art.
