8/ Titian (1488-1576). By Renaissance standards, Titian's life was unfeasibly long. On and on he went. But only recently has his 'late style' - the work created when he was in his 80s - found true favour. Dark, restless, blurred, fidgety, it's a strange and unique art.

Like Dominic, I’ve always enjoyed popping up to Barnard Castle. The Bowes Museum there is an extraordinary museum full of wonderful art. I love the El Greco and the silver swan. And the frilly fashion collection! Maybe they should change the town’s name to Dominic Castle?

7/ Joshua Reynolds (1723 -1792). It's easy to forget how deeply Reynolds admired Rembrandt. And how frequently he measured himself against him! Reynolds must be the most prolific British self-portraitist. He painted himself at every step of the journey through life.

4/ Élisabeth Vigée-Lebrun (1755-1842). Vigée-Lebrun's tragedy is that she's firmly linked in the public imagination with her patron Marie Antoinette. But she was a pioneering self-portraitist. Intimacy, warmth and an awareness of her own beauty were her gifts to art.

Beep beep. It's the birthday of Jacopo Pontormo (1494-1557), the best of the Mannerists! What an interesting painter. His physiognomies are so unusual. His expressions so weird. His colours so inventive! He's an artist who tests the rules. I love that about him.

10/ Chaim Soutine (1893-1943) is such a powerful and underrated artist. Boy does his food art pack a punch. Basically, he's saying the opposite to Prue Leith. Death is what we're here for, and no amount of happy baking can change that. So no - he's not a happy bunny!

7/ This is my favourite still life by Cezanne (1839-1906). It's got the apples in it, of course - 'I will astonish Paris with an apple' - but what really gets me is the tristesse of the biscuits on the right. That faded pink and yellow icing. I can taste the sadness.

6/ Goya (1746-1828) could certainly put you off your dinner with his food art. It's so bleak! It doesn't matter what poor skinned beastie he's depicting - they're all stand-ins for humanity. Born to die, and all that. I've definitely felt like the fish, bottom left.

5/ Frida Kahlo (1907-1954). Everyone goes on about the self-portraits, but I'm a sucker for her tropical fruit. It's just about the only food art in this thread that isn't set against black! But there's still something dark about it. Have a good look at bottom left!

3/ Talk about being timeless! The plate of sushi on the left by Hiroshige (1787-1858) - Van Gogh's favourite Japanese woodblock master, and mine! - would look exactly the same today if served in a bar in Tokyo. I love the note of fragility in the fish and the crab.
