Could be an image under a particular title or a painting/sculpture by a certain artist. I particularly love the image of Our Lady of Fatima. The white is so radiant. There is a statue of her in a church I visit when I am away from home that has glass eyes and they feel so lifelike. I could sit there for hours.
 
I am strongly attracted to images of Jesus or Mary that display the Immaculate & Sacred Heart. Once upon a time I found them kind of weird, but now I love how brazen it is: it tells me “I love you so much I offer you everything that I have.”
 
Mary in the Pieta sculpture. I can’t get my computer to post an image. I’ll try again later unless someone else can post it for me.

Mary.
 
Our Lady of perpetual help …I grew up with a big picture of my grand mothers (whom I never met) I have a copy on my mantelpiece and seek this image out in churches.
Also Our Lady Of the Angels,her expression and demeanour move me very much.

Same for me. The Pieta sculpture in Vatican City.

I like too Madonna of the Streets. Not the original but when reworked (as the reworked face is better. One example: s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/56/85/77/568577e0113915b979d7681834513886.jpg

(Also there are beautiful faces on Icons).

There are many beautiful works to be found (incl. the miraculous Guadeloupe image).
 
I especially love the painting by the artist William-Adolphe Bourguereau of Our Lady of the Angels.

I have a small copy of it, hanging up on the wall in our living room.

It was printed in a way so that areas of white on it are shimmery and reflect the light when light hits it, so it looks very pretty. So her halo is lit then, along with the angels’ wings and robes. 🙂

Here is what the picture looks like, if anyone wants to see it:

I would also say Bouguereau, but his Pieta:

The painting of our Our Lady of Fatima by R.L. George is the best I’ve ever seen of our Lady. It looks even better in person.
