This has always been one of my favorite baseball paintings. This image captures the great Cool Papa Bell sliding into third in a close play. I really like the elongated figures and the drama they display. You can see Cool Papa's long leg reaching third before the throw makes it to the glove of the third baseman. It reminds me of the loose uniforms and lanky looking players in the Negro Leagues back in the early part of the 1900's.

The artist is Kadir Nelson. Kadir doesn't exclusively paint baseball art, but this work is simply fantastic.

Any of Graig's work is top notch. If I was an ecntric billionaire, after I finished off buy the cards I wanted, I would commission him to make some artwork for me

I also love Ron Lewis' work. I own many of his prints. My complete signed copies of his "Living Legends" set are one of the parts of the collection that I'm the most proud of.

I don't know if the OP would rule these on-topic or not, but I find them pleasing. It is always astonishing to consider the age of such delicate pieces.

This Norman Rockwell painting has long been my favorite.

Here is one of my favorite pieces of artwork depicting the Polo Grounds Left Field stands in the distance which gives me flashbacks to my youth.
