Balthus
I am sure you must know about Balthus already, but I was reminded of his work after looking at Garth Herrick's "Tom at Eleven" painting, so I though I would post two of Balthus' images here. He's interesting, had a yummy technique, and is controversial, not to mention being one of the world's best-known and most influential portrait / figure painters.
