Gozo is a tiny island in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, which forms part of the Maltese archipelago. Unlike the more touristy and developed island of Malta, Gozo has retained its rural charm.
Small, traditional villages dot the Gozitan countryside. While the island may be small, there are plenty of places to visit, including the medieval city of Cittadella, the ancient Ggantija Temples and the stunning sandy beach of Ramla Bay.
Painting is an ancient medium and even with the introduction of photography, film and digital technology, it still has remained a persistent mode of expression. So many paintings have been limned over dozens of millennia that only a relatively small percentage of them could be construed as "timeless classics" that have become familiar to the public—and not coincidentally produced by some of the most famous artists of all time. We, of course, have our opinion of what makes the grade and we present them here in our list of the best paintings of all time.
