I really like his work because it stands out as very different from the rest of the art that was being made around this time period. So many paintings were so stiff and no one really seemed real, if you know what I mean. He painted a lot of children and every one seems genuine like he really captured the personality of each child.
This is a self portrait.
I first learned about him when I was in Italy. This painting of his below was being solid on the streets everywhere!
I really love this one. Its commonly known as "The First Kiss". It's of Cupid and Psyche :)
I highly recommend looking up more of his art (though I should warn you he also does nudes (one of his most famous is "The Birth of Venus")
