7Isola Comacina
Lake Como’s only island, Isola Comacina, is a hidden gem waiting to be explored.
Accessible by boat, this tiny island boasts ancient ruins, including the remains of a church and several homes, which give a glimpse into its rich history. Take a leisurely walk around the island, admire the quaint architecture, and enjoy a delightful meal at one of the island’s charming restaurants.
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.
