A new painting by Vincent van Gogh has been (re)discovered. From which (dead) artist would you like it that a new work was to be discovered?

Degas.

Rene Magritte

Monet would be at the top of my list along with more of Van Gogh. My favorite Monet paintings are from the “Houses of Parliament” series: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Houses_of_Parliament_series_(Monet).

Would be fun if it was one titled “Ceci n’est pas une peinture”.

Da Vinci

Renoir ! Nobody brings out the glowing light in a painting like Renoir.
If you get a chance to see them in person, e.g. at the d’Orsay do it!

@rebbel: Here’s an Image of what’s visible and what lies below.

It doesn’t, at first glance, look like a Van Gogh to me, the world-famous art authenticator, but it’s a lovely painting.

Now, back to you. Really, really too much to have you making funny remarks in yet another language. Put that in your pipe and smoke it, show-off.

@gailcalled Yeah, I saw that underlying painting in a tv show where the find was made public.
According to an art historic and one of the scientists it is close to 100% sure that it is Vincent’s.
The way the hand of one of the wrestlers is done looks very similar to the hands of the people in The Potato Eaters.
And the size of the canvas although unlike Van Gogh’s usual used canvas sizes is one that he has used before (be it not too often).
He also wrote a letter to his brother in which he announced that he was about to paint two torsos as an assignment for the academy.
Plus, Van Gogh’s typical brush strokes were found in/on the painting.

(Merci!)

Van Gogh as a matter of fact. My favorite all day long. The guy had a way of expressing his sense of life (generally positive in spite of his poverty, alcoholism and confusion), with a particular medium (paint), in a fashion that was compelling, original, unambiguous and colorful. I do not enjoy his early work where he was working on his style and searching for his artistic niche. But the paintings in his last couple of years, when he “found himself” are beautiful. If you have never seen one of these paintings (1887–1890) in person, you owe it to yourself to make the trip.

One can never have enough Monet in the world.

Joaquin Sorolla y Bastida
Why? Because he makes light come alive in his paintings so vividly that you can almost feel the sun on your skin. You have to see the original paintings to truly appreciate his mastery.

@rebbel, I see what you did there.

@gailcalled My first thought was also that it didn’t look like a Van Gogh. But if you look closely at the background, there are short, swirling brushstrokes. I can kind of see it now!

I know the question is for visual artists, but it would be amazing if something like this happened for Walt Whitman.

After Van Gogh, Winslow Homer and so many others.

@Trillian Monet makes the world go round?

@janbb: Please, Mantegna your composure

@gailcalled (Let the games begin!) I don’t give a giotto for your opinion!

I don’t think Mucha this game.

Should we be Weyden in this deep. Eyck! I guess now anything Goes.

We’re all Gaugin mad.

Because it is mondo Pissarro

Gauguin

Sorry I had to go away and Munch on something.

I would pick as sole multi-talented artist: Pablo.

No problem, Ilya Repin.
