Hello and welcome to Spectator Out Loud, where each week we choose some of our favourite pieces from the magazine and ask their writers to read them aloud. I'm Patrick Gibbons.

In the art section of this week's magazine, the spectator asks, what is the greatest artwork

of the centuries so far? So, slightly different for the podcast this week, we've compiled some of the

various entries that we've received from our writers.

You'll hear from our arts editor, Igor Toroni Lalit, Graham Thompson, Lloyd Evans,

Slavois-Jijerk, Damian Thompson, Richard Bratby, Liz Anderson, Deborah Ross,

Calvin Poe, Tangiel Rashid, James Walton, Rupert Christensen, and finally Christopher House.

So what is the greatest artwork of the 21st century so far?

1600 to 1625, impossible. Monteverdi Caravaggio, Shakespeare.

1700 to 1725, Vivaldi's four seasons.

1800 to 1825, Beethoven's Piannist, without question.

1900 to 9025, Diagelevins Stravinsky, by a whisker.

For 2000 to 2025, someone should say the internet, but it won't be me,

because the correct answer is a peach upon we're ascetical.

That's a peach upon we're ascetical.
