Read More »Leonardo da Vinci, probably the most important Renaissance artist, is widely recognized as the most famous artist of all time. He’s the genius behind the iconic Mona Lisa painting masterpiece, after all. It was painted sometime between 1503 and 1519 when Leonardo was living in Florence, and it now hangs in the Louvre Museum, in Paris, where it remained an object of pilgrimage in the 21st century. The sitter’s mysterious smile and her unproven identity have made the painting a source of ongoing investigation and fascination. Da Vinci also created a background with aerial views and a beautiful landscape but muted from the vibrant lightness of the subject’s face and hands. The technique Da Vinci used in executing the painting left behind no visible brush marks, something that was said to make any master painter lose heart. It is truly a masterpiece. The Mona Lisa is an oil painting, with a cottonwood panel as the surface. It is unusual in that most paintings are commissioned as oil on canvas, but the cottonwood panel is part of what has attributed to the fame of the painting. Because of the medium used for the image, the Mona Lisa has survived for six centuries without ever having been restored–a trait very unusual when considering the time period of the piece. Among his famous masterpieces, there are also the Last Supper and The Lady with an Ermine. The Last Supper is the most reproduced religious painting of all time and his Vitruvian Man drawing is regarded as a cultural icon as well. Even nowadays, his works are not fully understood and he still serves as inspiration for many, many aspiring artists. Beyond painting, although he had no formal academic training, da Vinci was also a scientist and inventor and he created plenty of drawings of the human body and many modern technologies found in the world today. Leonardo’s paintings and preparatory drawings together with his notebooks, which contain sketches, scientific diagrams, and his thoughts on the nature of painting compose a contribution to later generations of artists.

Read More »More than 30,000 pieces of art are still missing. Some may have been destroyed, others hidden from public view. This gallery focuses on works of art that have been tragically lost to the second World War. The portrait of "Dr Paul Gachet" is one of Vincent van Gogh's more popular works.
The painting was, successfully, hidden from the NAZI's during the course of World War II; which was a serious crime during the NAZI occupation. The owners of the painting took the painting off of its frame, put it in a tube and hid it for years. After the wars end, the painting was redisplayed successfully surviving the war. This painting depicts a military garrison standing for a portrait. Rembrandt was able to use contrast, dynamic shape, and space to create an interesting and monumental painting. The painting shows a group of soldiers, with muskets and swords, gathered around a great hall. The immediate focus is on a young woman illuminated by light, wearing white. What is unique about this is that the figure is in the background and is not the primary focus of the painting. The soldiers gather around their leader, standing in the center of the painting holding a staff and wearing a red sash. Another soldier stands close to him, wearing a white suit and holding a sword. The captain has a hand outstretched, as if he were welcoming people into his garrison. Many other soldiers litter the background of the painting, obscured by the shadows in the room. The room looks alive and busy, as the soldiers perform various tasks or are talking freely with one another. The painting does a great job with contrast and dimension, making the portrait seem lifelike and realistic.
