MONA LISA

Explanation:

Four Nederlanders, including one Utrechter, and one American, also from the South as I am.

But there are many other painters whose works are worth discovering. I could have mentioned Caravaggio and his beautifully painted youths.

Or even Piet Mondriaan: most of his “kitchen-tile” paintings leave me indifferent, but some of them are simply beautiful.
