Famous Artworks

The painting by Leonardo is from the High Italian Renaissance, 16th century. Began in 1503, he continued to work on it through 1506. He carried it with him until his death in 1519.

Realistic I guess you would say. It is a half portrait of Lisa de Giocondo painted by Leonardo da Vinci. While the background was painted in a way that would give the image depth and may not have existed, the subject did; and as it is a portrait of her, I would say it is meant to be realistic in it presentation of her image. However, in the arts realistic or realism means something slightly different than a true image of the subject. Rather, it means the subject of the image is as it would be in everyday life. So the Mona Lisa being a planned portrait would not be realism or realistic.

he used spirals, for the shapes and lines and used lots of texture to create the mass. especially in the sky. lots of paint and colors were used in this painting to show his emotions, his mood, and how he felt about nature. It has a pantheistic feel to it, considering the importance of nature compared to man.

At the age of 15 Leonardo had already mastered skills in the fine arts and the young man was sent to Florence to work as an apprentice in the renowned workshop of Andrea del Verrocchio

Mona-Lisa Pursiainen was born on 1951-06-21.

It means he is free of his human body in the spiritual sense. He has been enlightened in a way that nearly noone else has

Van Gogh was struggling, as all artists do, with a particular area of artistic achievement. In this case, he was trying to capture a simplicity, a power, and perhaps a message, from the natural world. This is something he perceived within the scene of that starry night reflecting in the river, and he wished to make it plain for others to see, as well. He was applying "the end justifies the means," and if that meant a simplistic, surrealistic, even garish piece of art work, it didn't matter as long as his message was conveyed successfully.

Edvard Munch. You can see a picture of it and read about it here:

Edvard munch painted it of course.

Bernini's David has started to use the slingshot. Michelangelo's David is just observing the enemy.

Somewhere in London. That's all I know.

The Arnolfini portrait is in the national gallery in London which is situated on Trafalgar Square. In room number 56.

All paintings ar 2 d. Sculptures are 3 d, meaning you can walk around them and see them from different directions.

All the impressionists.

The painting is a rectangle. Leonardo used artistic principles to enhance the piece, such as a triangular shape between objects and subject and atmospheric perspective.

I too was interested in such an answer (Groucho Marx refers to a painting of such title being tatooed on 'Lydia the tattoed Lady' in his song of that name). An entry on Google states that William McTaggart RSA (presumably Member of Royal Scottish Academy) painted a picture with that title based upon the poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Hope this helps.

David is a character of the Old Testament who defeated a much bigger enemy. Florence liked to equate themselves with him.

If you mean Leonardo's painting it used the perspective, an invention which was then about 80 years old. Leonardo also invented some new paint to use here. It was a disaster and has deteriorated horribly.

There is usually one and the same answer to those questions 'Why did XXX become an artist?' Because they felt they had the talent and the urge. It is as simple as that!

Leonardo da Vinci had a famous painting called the Last Supper. This is a picture of Jesus at his last supper and there are many people around him, this is a simple picture but it is different from the paintings before, and if you look into it is very complex. There are humanism themes embedded in the painting. In the background of the painting there are windows, and out the windows there is landscape of hills and other thing. This shows real life and the depth of the painting, all the different layers of the painting. Then there is also immense amounts of symmetry in this painting. This was important to humanism because everything was supposed to be balanced. Also man's perfection was a big part in the renaissance, and a body id symmetrical. So some symmetry in The Last Supper was, on either side of Jesus was a group of six people, then in those groups of people each was split into two other groups, all very even and symmetrical. There was also four panels on each side of the walls. Another characteristic of humanism art was real emotions. Every single person in this painting( besides Jesus, who was left out for obvious reasons) is not smiling. They are giving real emotions. Humanism art was all about emotions, and being real. All the people in the painting seem concerned or anxious, all real emotions, they are not just happy all the time. Like what was stated before, artist of the time wanted to show how real people in the paintings were. All the people have shaded in feature which give them the look of real people. It also looks like there was a light coming one side of the room, so it hit the peoples face and made them look all different. Humanists also focused in religion( as well as secular views) because people in ancient Greece studied religion and humanist were trying to make their lives as similar to ancient Greece as possible.

Leonardo da Vinci began painting the Mona Lisa in 1503 or 1504 in Florence, Italy. According to Leonardo's contemporary, Giorgio Vasari, "...after he had lingered over it four years, left it unfinished...." Leonardo, later in his life, is said to have regretted "never having completed a single work".

Used in the face are mostly worm colours such as yellows, oranges, reds and tones in between. In the backround there are mostly cold colours such as green and blue. There are not any specific colours and also over time the original colour of the painting has faded. Hope this is at least a little bit helpful.

Etoil (E.H.) Narmour was my grandmother. She lived in Lubbock, Texas and died in 1978. I don't know how much your painting is worth but to me I suppose it would be priceless. I would be interested in knowing what year she painted it. I have a picture of her painting at the art guild with my dad sitting beside her. He is about fourtheen. It must have been in the late forties. My dad grew up to be a very successful architect, I am a visual arts teacher, my sister is an interior designer and my youngest sister is a commercial graphics artist. My daughter just graduated in arts education and my other two children are very talented artistically as well. My grandmother has left a wonderful artistic legacy to hopefully continue through more generations. Congratulation on your painting, I hope you will enjoy it for many years to come.

the mona Lisa is an ugly woman, but the brilliance of the painting is in the detail of the scenery surrounding the focal point of mona Lisa herself.

The cherubs are so popular today because they represent the hidden secrets of the Church; at the time the painter, Raphael, was inspired by God to reveal the crimes of the Church to the world, but could only do so by painting the cherubs in the Sistine Madonna.
