The Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci

The Mona Lisa (La Gioconda or La Joconde) is a half-length portrait of a woman by the Italian artist Leonardo da Vinci, which has been acclaimed as "the best known, the most visited, the most written about, the most sung about, the most parodied work of art in the world."

The painting, thought to be a portrait of Lisa Gherardini, the wife of Francesco del Giocondo, is in oil on a poplar panel, and is believed to have been painted between 1503 and 1506, although Leonardo may have continued working on it as late as 1517. It was acquired by King Francis I of France and is now the property of the French Republic, on permanent display at The Louvre museum in Paris since 1797.

The ambiguity of the subject's expression, which is frequently described as enigmatic, the monumentality of the composition, the subtle modeling of forms and the atmospheric illusionism were novel qualities that have contributed to the continuing fascination and study of the work.

The title of the painting that is known in English as Mona Lisa stems from a description by Renaissance art historian Giorgio Vasari, who wrote "Leonardo undertook to paint, for Francesco del Giocondo, the portrait of Mona Lisa, his wife."[5][6] Mona in Italian is a polite form of address originating as ma donna —similar to Ma’am, Madam, or my lady in English. This became madonna, and its contraction mona. The title of the painting, though traditionally spelled "Mona" (as used by Vasari[5]), is also commonly spelled in modern Italian as Monna Lisa, but this is rare in English.

Edvard Munch : The Scream

The Scream (Norwegian: Skrik) is the popular name given to each of four versions of a composition, created as both paintings and pastels, by the Expressionist artist Edvard Munch between 1893 and 1910. Der Schrei der Natur (The Scream of Nature) is the title Munch gave to these works, all of which show a figure with an agonized expression against a landscape with a tumultuous orange sky. Arthur Lubow has described The Scream as "an icon of modern art, a Mona Lisa for our time."

Edvard Munch created the four versions in various media. The National Gallery, Oslo, holds one of two painted versions (1893, shown at right). The Munch Museum holds the other painted version (1910, see gallery) and a pastel version from 1893. These three versions have not traveled for years.

The fourth version (pastel, 1895) was sold for $119,922,600 at Sotheby's Impressionist and Modern Art auction on 2 May 2012 to financier Leon Black, the highest nominal price paid for a painting at auction. The painting was on display in the Museum of Modern Art in New York from October 2012 to April 2013.

Also in 1895, Munch created a lithograph stone of the image. Of the lithograph prints produced by Munch, several examples survive. Only approximately four dozen prints were made before the original stone was resurfaced by the printer in Munch's absence.

The Scream has been the target of several high-profile art thefts. In 1994, the version in the National Gallery was stolen. It was recovered several months later. In 2004, both The Scream and Madonna were stolen from the Munch Museum, and recovered two years later.

Edward Hopper: Nighthawks (1942)

Nighthawks is a 1942 painting by Edward Hopper that portrays people sitting in a downtown diner late at night. It is Hopper's most famous work and is one of the most recognizable paintings in American art. Within months of its completion, it was sold to the Art Institute of Chicago for $3,000, and has remained there ever since.

Gustav Klimt: The Kiss (1908)

The Kiss (In German: Der Kuss) was painted by the Austrian Symbolist painter Gustav Klimt between 1907 and 1908, the highpoint of his "Golden Period", when he painted a number of works in a similar gilded style.

A perfect square, the canvas depicts a couple embracing, their bodies entwined in elaborate robes decorated in a style influenced by both linear constructs of the contemporary Art Nouveau style and the organic forms of the earlier Arts and Crafts movement.

The work is composed of oil paint with applied layers of gold leaf, an aspect that gives it its strikingly modern, yet evocative appearance. The painting is now in the Österreichische Galerie Belvedere museum in the Belvedere palace, Vienna, and is widely considered a masterpiece of the early modern period. It is a symbol of Vienna Jugendstil—Viennese Art Nouveau—and is considered Klimt's most popular work.

The Great Wave off Kanagawa

The Great Wave off Kanagawa pictures

The Great Wave off Kanagawa (神奈川沖浪裏 Kanagawa-Oki Nami-Ura?, lit. "Under a Wave off Kanagawa"), also known as The Great Wave or simply The Wave, is a woodblock print by the Japanese artist Hokusai.

An example of ukiyo-e art, it was published sometime between 1830 and 1833[1] (during the Edo Period) as the first in Hokusai's series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (Fugaku sanjūrokkei (富嶽三十六景?)), and is his most famous work. This particular woodblock is one of the most recognized works of Japanese art in the world. It depicts an enormous wave threatening boats near the Japanese prefecture of Kanagawa.

While sometimes assumed to be a tsunami, the wave is, as the picture's title notes, more likely to be a large okinami – literally "wave of the open sea." As in all the prints in the series, it depicts the area around Mount Fuji under particular conditions, and the mountain itself appears in the background.

Copies of the print are in many Western collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, the British Museum in London, the Art Institute of Chicago, and in Claude Monet's house in Giverny, France. There is also a copy in the Asian Gallery of the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne, Australia.

Eugène Delacroix: Liberty Leading the People (1830)

Cecil Beaton: Stephen Tennant as Prince Charming (1927)

Grant Wood: American Gothic (1930)

American Gothic is a painting by Grant Wood in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago. Wood's inspiration came from what is now known as the American Gothic House, and a decision to paint the house along with "the kind of people I fancied should live in that house." The painting shows a farmer standing beside his spinster daughter. The figures were modeled by the artist's sister and their dentist. The woman is dressed in a colonial print apron evoking 19th-century Americana, and the couple are in the traditional roles of men and women, the man's pitchfork symbolizing hard labor, and the flowers over the woman's right shoulder suggesting domesticity.

It is one of the most familiar images in 20th-century American art, and has been widely parodied within American popular culture.

Gustav Klimt: The Stoclet Frieze (1905-1911)

The Stoclet Frieze is a series of three mosaics created by Austrian painter Gustav Klimt for a 1905-1911 commission for the Palais Stoclet in Brussells. The panels depict a swirling Tree of life, a standing female figure and an embracing couple.

The mosaics are spread across three walls of the Palais' dining room, with the two larger, figural sections set opposite each other on the longer walls of the room. A smaller, geometric panel occupies the short wall separating them. The designs are formed from a variety of luxury materials, including marble, ceramic, gilded tiles and enamel along with pearls and other semi-precious stones.

Wuluwait, Boatman of the Dead

Like the ancient Greeks, Romans, Etruscans, Norse and Egyptians, Aboriginal peoples of northern Australia had legends of boatmen who ferried the souls of the dead to the next life. Wuluwait ferries the dead to the Island of Puerelko, the Aboriginal equivalent of Heaven. It parallels that of the Greek and Roman mythology of the Underworld, where the Waters of Lethe are found.

Tony Banks of Genesis used this painting on the cover of his first solo album 'A Curious Feeling'.

The original work has been donated to the Art Gallery of South Australia.

Painted in 1964.

Rex Whistler: Self-portrait in Welsh Guards uniform, May 1940

The artist depicted himself enjoying a drink on the balcony of a friend's house in York Terrace, overlooking Regent's Park, London, on 'the day his uniform came'. Aged 35 and too old for immediate conscription, Rex Whistler had volunteered for service upon the outbreak of war: he saw it as a duty that men of his age should fight, rather than 'young boys'. By this time Whistler had already established a considerable reputation as an artist, particularly of trompe l'oeil murals, stage designs and book illustrations.

Tragically, the artist was killed on his first day in action, 18 July 1944, during Operation GOODWOOD near Caen in Normandy. Concerned for his men who were trapped in a tank, he had left the safety of his own tank to help, but was blown up by blast from a German mortar. He is buried in the small military cemetery at Banneville-la-Campagne.

Geefs Guillaume : The Genius of Evil (1848 )

Le génie du mal (installed 1848) or The Genius of Evil, known informally in English as Lucifer or The Lucifer of Liège,[1] is a religious sculpture executed in white marble by the Belgian artist Guillaume Geefs. Francophone art historians most often refer to the figure as an ange déchu, a "fallen angel." It is located within the elaborate pulpit (French chaire de vérité, "seat of truth") of St. Paul's Cathedral, Liège, and depicts a classically beautiful man in his physical prime, chained, seated, and nearly nude but for drapery gathered over his thighs, his full length ensconced within a mandorla of bat wings. Geefs' work replaces an earlier sculpture created for the space by his younger brother Joseph Geefs, which was removed from the cathedral because of its distracting allure and "unhealthy beauty."

In the late 1980s, a photograph of Le génie du mal became a focal point of Himmelsweg, an art installation by the Liège-born artist Jacques Charlier on the theme of seductive evil and the danger of obscuring the memory of the Holocaust.

Wanderer above the Sea of Fog (German: Der Wanderer über dem Nebelmeer; also known as Wanderer Above the Mist) is an oil painting composed in 1818 by the German Romantic artist Caspar David Friedrich. It has been considered one of the masterpieces of Romanticism and one of its most representative works. It currently resides in the Kunsthalle Hamburg in Hamburg, Germany.

Bal du moulin de la Galette

Bal du moulin de la Galette (commonly known as Dance at Le moulin de la Galette) is an 1876 painting by French artist Pierre-Auguste Renoir. It is housed at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris and is one of Impressionism's most celebrated masterpieces. The painting depicts a typical Sunday afternoon at Moulin de la Galette in the district of Montmartre in Paris. In the late 19th century, working class Parisians would dress up and spend time there dancing, drinking, and eating galettes into the evening.

Like other works of Renoir's early maturity, Bal du moulin de la Galette is a typically Impressionist snapshot of real life. It shows a richness of form, a fluidity of brush stroke, and a flickering light.

From 1879 to 1894 the painting was in the collection of the French painter Gustave Caillebotte; when he died it became the property of the French Republic as payment for death duties. From 1896 to 1929 the painting hung in the Musée du Luxembourg in Paris. From 1929 it hung in the Musée du Louvre until it was transferred to the Musée d'Orsay in 1986.

It happens regularly, in fact. Often, we discover works "hidden" under others during restorations or when some people do research and pass the canvases under x-rays, scanners and infrared and spectral images ...

It is common to find things under frescoes (it's a bit like the idea of ​​the fresco, today we continue to cover graffiti for example;))

some "known" examples:
- Several Leonardo da Vinci, including "the virgin in the rocks
- The eyebrows of the Mona Lisa
-" The grass corner "by Vincent van Gogh
-" Portrait of youth, Rembrandt, 1634

The scene in the painting depicts Lady Godiva protesting the exorbitant taxes imposed on the peasants of Covenrty by her husband Leofric of Mercia - who called her out, telling her that if she rode naked in the city, he would cancel the tax. Godiva climbed naked among the knights, but her husband had ordered all the villagers not to leave their homes and to close the windows. However, a man named Tom had looked at her, and was blinded by her beauty, hence the name Peeping Tom for voyeurs.(more)

What famous paintings can we find in the cinema?

I understand your question as the cinema dealing with famous paintings and not the presence of paintings as part of the film's scenery.

Because then in many films, especially European cinema, the directors have taken care to place a masterpiece.

So I turn to the first meaning of famous painting in the cinema and there is a whole range of it.

I am content to list two titles with a link to the description of Wikipedia to quote only this multicultural portal.

Why did the ancient Romans and Greeks produce extremely realistic sculptures, but rudimentary drawings and paintings ? rudimentary? rudimentary?

Philippe Jaran·Translator · May 8 Location: France

Jonathan keilerHistory Teacher ( 2000 - present )This answer may not be an accurate translation of Jonathan Keiler's answer in Quora in English  :

Why did the ancient Romans and Greeks produce extremely lifelike sculptures but only rudimentary drawings and paintings of people?

Below is a famous Roman wall painting from Pompeii. I wouldn't call it rudimentary, but rather realistic and lively. There are many examples of this type in Pompeii.

That being said, there are several reasons why someone might get the impression of a “rudimentary” Greco-Roman design in contrast to their sculpture.

The first reason is simply that very few Greek or Roman paintings have survived compared to sculpture. Greek painting is essentially reduced to vases, which are not the best medium for exact realism.Greek or Roman have survived compared to sculpture. Greek painting is essentially reduced to vases, which are not the best medium for exact realism.Greek or Roman have survived compared to sculpture.

A few formal Roman wall paintings have survived mainly in Pompeii, but most have been lost. What often remains is graffiti, which was commonplace in Rome.

Another factor is that Late Imperial Roman art was deliberately unrepresentative or descriptive. It didn't have much to do with the skills of the artists, but was rather deliberately stylistic. This tendency was evident in both sculpture and painting.3.1k  viewsShow 61  positive votesShow shares6112

What is the mystery surrounding the stray dogs with brightly colored fur in Russia?

Vincent Person·Translator ·Master in Law , Universities ( Diploma obtained in 2015 )

What is the mystery around stray dogs with bright-colored fur in Russia?

It's not really a mystery. Recently, a few blue-colored stray dogs were photographed and subsequently captured by authorities in the city of Dzerzhinsk in central Russia. Their fur was covered with an industrial coloring. Dzerzhinsk was one of the centers of the Soviet chemical industry, and it is infamous for being one of the most polluted cities in the world. Today, some of its factories are closed and abandoned. Looks like the dogs found a bag of dry paint in an abandoned industrial area, tore it up and rolled around in it, or something. Local authorities and environmentalists are investigating. Dogs are fine, as the paint is relatively harmless.24.1k  viewsShow 132  positive votesShow shares13211
