For me, it would be Hieronymus Bosch's "The Garden of Earthly Delights". (Pictured below)

Certainly not my favourite artwork, but I would choose this one because of the endless amount of time that could be spent examining every fine detail and it is food for the imagination.

I'd rather be blind, so any piece of artwork that is purely black or one color anyway lol.

I don't actually know any artwork anyway!

Why would you rather be blind?

Wait, have I got the question wrong? I thought this question meant like... you could never see anything else but this one piece of artwork in your head constantly, basically blind but seeing artwork. Oops. If that's not the case, I would not want to be blind lol!

I wouldn't want to stare at an artwork all of my life. I'd rather have one pure colour, preferably black or something. If I have a permanent picture in my head, I think it might be hard to imagine other things rather than one solid colour.

Oh no, I was asking which you would choose if you could only see one for the rest of your life

Well to be honest I've never really been interested in art, paintings and all that. Don't have any particular paintings I like. If I had to choose, it'd be something with nice scenery, perhaps somewhere in Alaska!
