I find myself being drawn to expressionism - and styles derived from it such as film noir etc - repeatedly, so I could go for that as a favourite, although I also have a fondness for the pre-Raphaelites, fauvism, vorticism, surrealism and others.
I don't think that I have a single enduring favourite work, but my favourite du jour could perhaps be The Garden of Earthly Delights - which is none of those in origin, of course, although is distinctly surreal anyway.

I like the work of Otto Frello. He was a Danish illustrator and artist which drew some really dreamlike and detailed pieces. In my childhood on Islands Brygge, I saw some reproductions of his paintings displayed next to our local pizzaria, for whatever reason. When I later saw them in real life, I was surprised how small they were—he used a single-hair brush to draw some of the details.
Other than that, I'm a big fan of comic/fantasy/sci-fi artwork from before things went digital. Richard Corben. Moebius. Simon Bisley. Philippe Druillet. Frank Frazetta. Giger. So much grand stuff!
