Here we go - using nothing but the internet I have managed to cheat to find out that 12 is

La montagne Sainte-Victoire
Paul Cézanne
Phillips, de Pury & Luxembourg New York:
May 7, 2001
Sold For: US$ 38,502,500

And all I had to work with was the original post.

Took less than 2 minutes.

Wrong, Dave.

Oh yes Pieman, if you go to tineye.com you can upload any image and it will tell you where it is hosted on the web - a quick click on a link and you've got your answer it's very quick.
