Who is your favorite painter? - eviltoast

Ive recently gotten into painting and am looking for inspiration, so please hit me with your favorite artists. I’ve currently only done master copies and tutorials in the style of Van Gogh, but want to branch out. Unfortunately i didnt appreciate the required art appreciation class enough in college.

    Ooh, a subject I love!

    Number one all-time, Mark Rothko, no hesitation.
    From a more classic tradition, JMW Turner and Caspar David Friedrich.
    From the French impressionists, Paul Cézanne.
    From the Renaissance, Giorgione of Venice.
    From antiquity, the wooden tomb portraits of Fayum, Egypt.
