I'm all over the map, but my real comfort zone is the 18th century, the Age of Enlightenment, especially portraits. Gainsborough, and Reynolds in England. Elizabeth Vigee Lebrun and Quentin de la Tour in France. So many more. Boucher, Fragonard, all the lightheartedness that came before neoclassical themes. When I see those paintings, I kind of exhale, and feel connected. But I don't paint that way, though at times I'm tempted to try. Not much point to creating 21st century pastiches of 18th century paintings.
