Hubble's imaging of gravity lensing (pic related).

Everything Einstein predicted, reacting as one would mathematically expect.

Granted, you can't take a direct image of one, as there's no such thing as a naked singularity, but we've detected literally hundreds of thousands of accretion disks that could only be caused by black holes, including some in our own galaxy.
