If you could own any one piece of art in history, what would it be?

Practically anything by Georges de La Tour, but probably The Magdalene with the Smoking Flame. I saw this and others in the Louvre many years ago and his use of light just moves me.
The Magdalene with the Smoking Flame by Georges de La Tour. This painting depicts Mary Magdalene with a skull on her lap and a brightly lit candle on the desk. She has her hand under her chin while staring at the candle. There are two books placed on the desk, like the books in the other versions of the paintings. One of the books is the Holy Bible. There is also a cross and a rope on top of the desk. The rope looks similar to the rope that is tied around her waist. Her shoulders are bare and her skirt only reaches to her knees leaving her legs bare.

I wouldn’t mind except when she spits it up a short time later… inevitably on something upholstered

This place feels like a combination of G+ and the Bright and Shiny cult… but I’m not mad at it
