That one piece of art that just get you, right there

Everyone has one, I think.  A work of art that draws them in, inexplicably - one they feel deeply connected to without understanding why.

Maika,

I remember first coming across this painting in an art book, I can’t recall which.  While on one page they showed an image of the painting, in another they showed a close-up detail of her right eye.  It was mesmerizing.  I stared at this eye, her eye, for ages and have found myself coming back again and again to this painting.

I’m curious:  what artists have done this for you?  What works just get you?
