Leonardo Da Vinci, Renaissance
It is with no discussion that the number one spot belongs to the great Leonardo Da Vinci. Frequently called him as the father of Renaissance, or a master of perspective, the affect of Leonardo Da Vinci at this time extends far beyond the realm of artistic endeavor.
Some of his famous artworks are Mona Lisa, The Last Supper and The Baptism of Christ.
Vincent Van Gogh, Impressionist
The paintings of Vincent Van Gogh may well be the most easily acknowledged and remembered of everyone. He usually paints everyday objects, such as sunflowers and an empty chair, but he has a way of conveying his strong feelings.
Van Gogh was born the son of a pastor and spent his childhood in a cultured and spiritual environment. He first worked in a bookstore and selling artwork in advance of turning into a preacher just like his father. In 1880, he turned to the study of art with the determination to be a famed artist someday.
Van Gogh suffered serious bouts of melancholy and there was even a time that he attempted to assault his closest pal and peer, Gauguin, with a razor. The attack was fortunately unsuccessfully but Van Gogh ended up cutting off a piece of his own ear. Van Gogh's depression increased and he was accepted to an asylum.
In 1890, 2 months soon after his release from the asylum Vincent Van Gogh killed himself. Some of his well known paintings are Starry Night, Sunflowers, Cafe Terrace and so much more.
Salvador Dali, Surrealism
The paintings of Salvador Dali depict bizarre characters like burning giraffes and seemingly melted wax watches. The artist described his very own works as 'hand-painted dream photographs'. Dali is well identified for his many abilities apart from jewelry design, book illustration, painting as well as theatre work.
Dali's most popular work is the Persistence of Memory, painted in oil on canvas in 1931. As with his other surrealist works, there is a common picture that is in some way irrational, such as the watches that seem soft and fluid in this painting. Dali mentioned that the concept for this painting came while he was considering about Camembert cheese one evening soon after dinner - such a great way to be inspired with an artwork.
There are so much more equally famous and talented than the above three artists, but this is just my viewpoint. And we can't deny that the budding new artist in our generation are also not far behind in terms of talent and creativity.
