Our art history has been pretty colourful. We have had artists that are so talented and have shared to the whole world their extraordinary masterpieces that have motivated and inspired, not only just their era but up until now. Here are my 3 very best artists and their short biography.
Leonardo Da Vinci, Renaissance
It is without discussion that the number one spot goes to the terrific Leonardo Da Vinci. Normally called him as the father of Renaissance, or a master of perspective, the influence of Leonardo Da Vinci currently extends far over and above the realm of inventive endeavor.
Some of his famous artworks are Mona Lisa, The Last Supper and The Baptism of Christ.
Vincent Van Gogh, Impressionist
The paintings of Vincent Van Gogh may perhaps be the most quickly regarded and remembered of everybody. He normally paints each day objects, such as sunflowers and an empty chair, but he has a way of conveying his strong emotions.
Van Gogh was born the son of a pastor and spent his childhood in a cultured and religious surroundings. He first worked in a bookstore and selling art just before turning out to be a preacher just like his father. In 1880, he turned to the study of art with the determination to be a well-known artist someday.
Van Gogh experienced severe bouts of depression and there was even a time that he tried to attack his closest pal and peer, Gauguin, with a razor. The assault was luckily unsuccessfully but Van Gogh ended up cutting off a piece of his own ear. Van Gogh's melancholy intensified and he was admitted to an asylum.
In 1890, two months following his release from the asylum Vincent Van Gogh killed himself. Some of his renowned paintings are Starry Night, Sunflowers, Cafe Terrace and so much more.
Salvador Dali, Surrealism
The paintings of Salvador Dali depict weird characters like burning giraffes and seemingly melted wax watches. The artist explained his own works as 'hand-painted dream photographs'. Dali is well acknowledged for his numerous abilities apart from jewellery pattern, book illustration, painting as well as theatre work.
Dali's most famed work is the Persistence of Memory, painted in oil on canvas in 1931. As with his other surrealist works, there is a common image that is in some way irrational, such as the watches that seem soft and fluid in this painting. Dali said that the idea for this painting came while he was wondering about Camembert cheese one night right after dinner - such a fantastic way to be inspired with an artwork.
There are so much more equally well known and gifted than the above 3 artists, but this is just my view. And we won't be able to deny that the budding new artist in our era are also not far behind in terms of expertise and creativity.
