I have a print of a famous Jean-Francois Millet ( 1814 - 1875 ) Painting over my mantel. It was also famous for hanging over another mantel. Anybody know what I am referring to and what painting it might be ?

Love the Dutch masters but the painting that made the biggest impression on me was the first time I saw Goya's "Saturn Devouring His Son" in the Prado. It is large, dark, and was a little unexpected at the time.
 
While in Munich last fall, I saw the following (can't put it here, it's too big) an astounding painting of the destruction of Jerusalem by Wilhelm von Kaulbach in 1847. The thing is absolutely gargantuan (7m by 6m or so), and gives quite a stunning pause for thought and reflection.
 
What About, The Era Of The Reformation by Wilhelm Von?something.

Best painting of the Reformation, depicting Luther, Calvin, Erasmus, Michelangelo, Galileo, and more with Luther holding the word of God in the middle of western human taught, culture, science, art, politics, etc. and the Truth of God being in the centrality of the world.:pilgrim: :pilgrim: :pilgrim:
