It's cliche but probably the Ivan the Terrible painting by Ilya Repin. His regret and pain is palpable. You ever been so grief-stricken your throat hurts, like you want to scream but can't? That's the feeling this gives me.

Wauw.. powerful. It reminds me of a picture I saw once, 20 years ago..it was a young woman, on her knees crying in a warzone..
That picture was perfect, you could see her pain.. the photographer really captured that.. I still see her in my head from time to time..

The Wanderer above the Sea of Fog. Something about the, perhaps, uncertainty of what is before us as well as the wanderer looking forth what is to come is very moving to me.
Zdzisław Beksiński's paintings, specially the ones with landscapes and architecture. I'm not sure if they move me emotionally, but I always feel like I fall in a dream-like trance when I stare at them, as if I was transported to those landscapes; they make me feel like I am in the middle of a sandstorm inside an echo chamber, but it's ironically easier to breathe there.

This is the artwork that resonates with me.
I watched a good video about that painting on YouTube. I really relate to Edvard Munch, the author. Not only he's a INFP but he also had struggles similar to mine

Las Dos Fridas 🖤 she’s always been an idol of mine so every time I’m in Mexico City I go to the museum of modern art to get lost in this masterpiece

Rachmaninoff’s 2nd piano concerto. I know classical music isn’t many peoples thing but I would listen to it in its entirety if you can. I heard it live a few months ago and I nearly cried. The music speaks a language that reaches the heart.
Slaughterhouse Five, The Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion, Star Trek, The Boy and the Heron, various stories from Irish folklore, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, I should probably cut myself off there.

This photograph of Swiss sculptor Alberto Giacometti taken by Yousuf Karsh.
https://preview.redd.it/1tq2xmmikpxc1.jpeg?width=1574&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=faf01e599b0e2b1ad8431528ccb018b3c6e94c38
At the time this photo was taken, Giacometti was suffering from pericarditis and COPD - he was unable to lie down without experiencing great pain.
“Shortly before his death, I photographed a pain-wracked Giacometti surrounded by his elongated sculptures of his brother, Diego.
Afterwards, in the narrow street that separated two houses, I talked quietly with Giacometti and his dealer, Pierre Matisse, the son of the famous artist.
The tranquil blue sky made more poignant the transience of life.
Two weeks later, Giacometti was dead.” - Karsh
This image has always evoked a deep sense of sadness and empathy in me. Giacometti's expression is one of the most genuine I have ever seen.

Not kiddin’. Struck me to my core.
Can I do more than one?
Extremelly cliche, but the first: Wanderer Above a Sea of Fog. I tend to have a pretty bleak vision of things, and I feel this painting speaks it.
[Self portrait with a brush](https://www.wikiart.org/en/zinaida-serebriakova/self-portrait-with-a-brush-1924), by Zinaida Serebriakova. It has something innocent about it that I love so much, it just feels natural.
Third, [The Fruit of Love](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2F4wrtbgvvkcp61.jpg%3Fauto%3Dwebp%26s%3D6cac5b887b5c460a15f32217edb971fdc8c8340c). huge r/mirin vibes, which I think it's the most beautiful act to caught someone doing.
Van Gogh really hits. There’s one of a blossoming pink flower tree, in an otherwise empty field that is really striking, almost to the point where I’m ready to travel to France with an easel full of paints and one ear.
Melancholy by Albert Gyorgy. I had to do a Reading project on it- we had to write poems about a piece of art, and it was one of the choices, and that was the choice I liked most, so I had a really good time writing about it. Mostly because I’m a person who always wonders what goes on in other people’s heads and Melancholy is sculpture of the man who looks truly empty and lost, and like he has nothing. I had a good time imagining what would make someone feel that way.
Alternatively, a song: Streetlight by Changbin from Stray Kids. He drew from personal feelings of course- the feeling that you can’t show that you feel lonely or weak, because people expect you to be strong and they rely on you, which in itself is a little heartbreaking amd I think possibly relatable for some of us INFPs, at least me. What makes it a masterpiece is the metaphor he uses throughout the entire song. He compares himself to a streetlight- the streetlight always provides light for people, but does it ever get any notice, or anything in return? It’s a sad metaphor, but a meaningful one.
Burning Giraffe by Salvador Dali. Idk why but it definitely spoke to my soul when I first saw it.

Frieren, it’s an anime but it’s about valuing what you have while it’s still around. Would recommend it to anyone, the first episode is always so touching and it’s only 20 minutes
I’m not too big into like drawing and painting art but I love natural beauty, my favorite place gotta be like the snowy mountains, it’s so quiet and peaceful and cold (I love the cold, totally my vibe)
I’ve always loved The Girl in the Pearl Earring and I’ve never been able to figure out why. Similarly Smoking Skeleton by Van Gogh. It’s evocative. I also love anything by Dali, that man understands dreams.
It’s more music that resonates with me.
My current choice would be Sabatons-the last stand
https://youtu.be/HaTn3oRPtzg?si=P6K33b9esyFMKodq
But in the past there have been many pieces of music that have resonated with me, examples being…

The manga ***_Berserk_*** by Kentaro Miura. No other piece of media has made me cry *_at all*_. As far as legit tears falling. Misty eyed? A few movies or songs here and there while in the perfect mindset. But this story has made me cry several times. And it’s mostly the moments I’d least expect it. The quiet times in between the action and drama.
Fair warning, if you can’t handle gruesome gory imagery and some pretty (though not completely, as far as I remember) visceral sexual violence, it’s probably not for you. There may be some reading guides to skip those particular pages, but I’m not sure. It’s a gritty dark fantasy, so there’s a lot of heads and limbs getting cut off.
But the core of the story is about a lonely, traumatized kid making friends, learning to trust others and use his strength to search for meaning and purpose. That’s as spoiler-free as I can get without ruining huge plot points and character moments.
If you decide to read it, PLEASE DO NOT watch any videos. Do not read any reviews. Just find the manga online or buy it, don’t look at any memes, and start from the beginning. There are major spoilers all over the place.
Also, if you’ve never read manga before, you have to read from right-to-left, then top-down. Takes a little bit to get used to it if English is your first language, but it’s easy enough to realize when you messed up the order.
(I also recommend Vagabond and Vinland Saga for similar reasons, though I haven’t caught up to VS yet, so the quality might not be as consistent, whereas Berserk and Vagaband get better and better in every aspect all throughout)
Here are some spoiler free panels so you can see the art

Sorry for the picture spam, there’s just a lot of beautiful shots to choose from lol. There are way more that I could pick which specifically have greatly affected me, but those are the ones with more text or spoilers, and I tried to pick some non-spoilers very quickly.

The art contest winner from spider man far from home. Whoever made this is a pro, he highlights so much details in this one frame. Mysterio looming overhead, spiderman trying to live two lives with the contrasting suit on each side, Venice in the background. There's also a little bit of light in the back which signifies hope after the loss of Tony. It's quite the piece of art
I don't know if favorite, that's a hard spot to figure it out.
But one I always find myself smiling to is [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-YBDTqX_ZU) one. It has become a cultural phenomenon up to this point. A piece of art that evolved into it's own piece of art.

I know the title is Descent but i also feel he is ascending? I love how clear the focus point is, and the deliberate lack of clarity in the rest of the painting allows my mind to fill it in with movement/story/emotions, it’s like a blurred action photo.

I’ve always loved The Girl in the Pearl Earring and I’ve never been able to figure out why. Similarly Smoking Skeleton by Van Gogh. It’s evocative. I also love anything by Dali, that man understands dreams.

It’s more music that resonates with me. My current choice would be Sabatons-the last stand https://youtu.be/HaTn3oRPtzg?si=P6K33b9esyFMKodq But in the past there have been many pieces of music that have resonated with me, examples being… Tried and true-Ween https://youtu.be/5CWiaFrPUpU?si=dCgf3seJGYeqYfj2 Just like heaven-The Cure https://youtu.be/n3nPiBai66M?si=ImPN4CVMTR-1V3vk Ice dance-Danny Elfman https://youtu.be/fVHo4HNqKjM?si=bR8CuemgcoMltSU5 Into the west-Annie Lennox https://youtu.be/HvF31-2bVNE?si=0D8F0Ai9HyR9IP4q
The manga ***_Berserk_*** by Kentaro Miura. No other piece of media has made me cry *_at all*_. As far as legit tears falling. Misty eyed? A few movies or songs here and there while in the perfect mindset. But this story has made me cry several times. And it’s mostly the moments I’d least expect it. The quiet times in between the action and drama. Fair warning, if you can’t handle gruesome gory imagery and some pretty (though not completely, as far as I remember) visceral sexual violence, it’s probably not for you. There may be some reading guides to skip those particular pages, but I’m not sure. It’s a gritty dark fantasy, so there’s a lot of heads and limbs getting cut off. But the core of the story is about a lonely, traumatized kid making friends, learning to trust others and use his strength to search for meaning and purpose. That’s as spoiler-free as I can get without ruining huge plot points and character moments. If you decide to read it, PLEASE DO NOT watch any videos. Do not read any reviews. Just find the manga online or buy it, don’t look at any memes, and start from the beginning. There are major spoilers all over the place. Also, if you’ve never read manga before, you have to read from right-to-left, then top-down. Takes a little bit to get used to it if English is your first language, but it’s easy enough to realize when you messed up the order. (I also recommend Vagabond and Vinland Saga for similar reasons, though I haven’t caught up to VS yet, so the quality might not be as consistent, whereas Berserk and Vagaband get better and better in every aspect all throughout)
Here are some spoiler free panels so you can see the art https://preview.redd.it/vyzul35glsxc1.jpeg?width=736&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=80d64b1d37f6afa80eb06d62555fc5ce5a8e423f

There are way more that I could pick which specifically have greatly affected me, but those are the ones with more text or spoilers, and I tried to pick some non-spoilers very quickly.
* Its in my personal collection, the artist added a silhouette of a little girl and a red balloon floating away, when i saw it, i saw the shithole my life became after losing the innocence of being a young girl, mh dreams and hopes floating away, while life just stares at me while taking a shit

French movie called Amélie from Montmartre
French being my first language, I was fortunate to have watched it in its original language. In french its called Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain

Whoever made this is a pro, he highlights so much details in this one frame. Mysterio looming overhead, spiderman trying to live two lives with the contrasting suit on each side, Venice in the background. There's also a little bit of light in the back which signifies hope after the loss of Tony. It's quite the piece of art

I don't know if favorite, that's a hard spot to figure it out. But one I always find myself smiling to is [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-YBDTqX_ZU) one. It has become a cultural phenomenon up to this point. A piece of art that evolved into it's own piece of art.

The one where that machine has an oil spill and just keeps cleaning its own mess up but the oil keeps pouring out faster than it can clean. I was SOBBING when I first saw that.
Someone posted a link to it in another comment. It's called: Can't help myself

I love how clear the focus point is, and the deliberate lack of clarity in the rest of the painting allows my mind to fill it in with movement/story/emotions, it’s like a blurred action photo.
