Painters and paintings


One of my favorite painters is Mauricio Rugendas, an important painter whose works portraits many scenes of the chilean history. The work I like the most is "El rapto de Trinidad Salcedo", it shows the story of a woman who was kidnapped by the Pincheiras brothers and mapuche warriors in the XVIII century.

    Leonardo da Vinci was the most representative painter of Renaissance art. Not only was devoted to painting was also an architect, sculptor, musician and poet. Leonardo greatest painting is The Giocconda, work that has been recalled by the enigmatic smile of the woman depicted. It was the first time they showed any mood in someone's face and it lasts over time.

    Raffaello Santi or Sanzio. Born in Urbino on April 6, 1483. His father was a painter, so it was his first teacher. The painting that I like most is the "Sistine Madonna" was painted for the monks of St. Sixtus in Picaenza.

    You could say I have no favorite artist because I'm not very fan of art, but an artist who caught my attention is Picasso, because I think his paintings are very interesting.
    Picasso was a Spanish painter and sculptor, one of the founders of the Cubist movement and was considered one of the greatest artists of the twentieth century.
    One of the paintings that I like most is "Night Fishing at Antibes", because I think which is a very striking painting, with colors that draw little attention

    My favorite painter is Pablo Picasso, an important painter of XX century. He painted social problems of his age. My favorite work is "Mendigos junto al mar" it shows 3 people in the sea with much cold, is a sad scene. Is a painting very real of the world because the world is full of poverty and problems. I think that Picasso is a active painter, because his painting are very very recognized.

    The painting that mas is called me the attention is leonardo's monalisa gives vinci since it is one of the few ones that I know and for the strange way in which the sense of the painting is focused, because one can notice at the back of the painting and that way to imagine what the painter was thinking about this moment, also what wanted to express. Other paintings which have a bit confused meanings of what his creators wanted to express are those of my taste.

Considered one of the greatest artists of the twentieth century. My favorite work of this painter is "The Burial of Count Orgaz" best-known work of El Greco. The division of space into two zones inspired Picasso in his painting The Death of Casagemas. The two-dimensional work reproduced in this image is in the public domain worldwide because the date of death of its author or its date of publication. This reproduction is also in the public domain this is my favorite work

    Vincent van Gogh: Vincent van Gogh Placing an artistic movement is difficult. Some people categorized as an Impressionist and Post-Impressionist others like. The symbolism claims him as one of their own. It is considered the precursor of Fauvism and German Expressionism call his first teacher. my favorite painting is the starry night because I like their colors and shapes.
