Maybe a 400 works of paintings list?

Maybe a 400 works of paintings list?
I say 400 since we don't use that as a number nearly enough, but also, I think if we have paintings, novels, rock albums, films, and video games, we will cover all the major bases. They're the most iconic forms of the base categories of mediums, while none of them cover the whole medium categories, a 400-painting list will easily make the site's hubs complete.
