5 most famous paintings in the world
... Interesting facts from history ...
Every artist puts his soul into his works. In the pictures we can consider the feelings, thoughts, fears and original promises of the author to the audience. Sometimes the meaning of the paintings is clear, and sometimes leaves room for the imagination of the audience.
1. «Last Supper», Leonardo da Vinci
The picture is rightfully ranked among the world masterpieces not only for the skill of the author, but also for the plot itself - a biblical event with the participation of Jesus Christ and his disciples. The artist was inspired by the mood of the latter before the arrest of Jesus in the evening, when he anticipated the tragic events that followed after dinner. Interesting fact: the faces of Judas the traitor and Jesus are identical in the picture. Surely, Leonardo put at this moment the deepest meaning that each of the viewers can appreciate in their own way. It took about four years for the master to create the masterpiece!
2. «Mona Lisa», Leonardo da Vinci
Another outstanding work of da Vinci is the unsolved smile of Mona Lisa. This picture is known all over the world! To create it, the artist took several years of hard work. Dzhokonda causes ambiguous emotions: someone is captivated by her crafty eyes, someone scares. From whatever angle you look at the picture, the look of the woman from the picture is directed at you. In fairness it should be said that the picture was not always so popular. Glory to her came after the loud abduction, and since then the rumor has not ceased about the picture.
3. «Morning in a pine forest», Ivan Shishkin and Konstantin Savitsky
The famous work of art takes pride of place in the Tretyakov Gallery. The public is familiar with the name of the artist Ivan Shishkin, but it is noteworthy that the picture has a second author - Konstantin Savitsky. The first portrayed in detail the pine forest, and the second one’s main characters are the bears. When Tretyakov bought this masterpiece, for some reason, co-authored Savitsky. So it happened that Shishkin is considered the only creator of the work.
4. «Black Square», Kazimir Malevich
The painting gained fame for its apparent simplicity and depth at the same time. No one can say with certainty what exactly the author meant when creating his “Square”. By the way, there is an opinion that the artist is simply having fun with this geometric figure, since in the arsenal of his works there is the “White Square” and a pair of “Red Squares”.
5. «The Persistence of Memory», Salvador Dali
One of the most extraordinary artists brought into the world of art not one ambiguous masterpiece. One of them is the image of the current clock. Art critics interpret the meaning of the painting as the transience of time, the constant change of epochs and human values. Another version is the visualization of the theory of relativity, which also has a right to exist. The artist himself was not wisely sly, but confessed that he was inspired by cream cheese to create a picture!
. . . . . . . . . .
This list can be continued indefinitely, because the masterpieces of painting in the world of art are countless: to see and understand each of them is not enough and life. But the beauty in the process of reading pictures. Solve the author's intention and read the secret subtext hidden under a layer of paint - isn't that the most exciting thing to do? They can do forever.
