Famous Painters: The Top 3 Most Famous Painters of All Time

Our world has been blessed with the genius and talent of so many gifted artists that have given us the incredible master pieces that have motivated and inspired, not just an era, but for so long after their brushes have laid their final strokes. As it is true that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, it would be impossible to select just a few and present them as the best without attracting fierce debate, of which there could not ever be a winner.

Here I have compiled a short reference to present the top 3 most famous painters of all time.

Leonardo Da Vinci (1452-1519)- Renaissance It is without debate that the number 1 spot belongs to no other than Leonardo Da Vinci. Often referred to as the father of Renaissance, and a master of perspective, the influence of Leonardo Da Vinci today extends far beyond the realm of artistic endeavor.
Inspired and encouraged by growing up in an environment rich in scholarly flavor, Da Vinci created only six major works in painting. All six of this works are masterpieces of significance. Da Vinci is renowned for his work in such fields as architecture, engineering, natural science mathematics and geometry.
Leonardo became the first painter, architect, and engineer for King Francis 1st in France. It was the King himself at his side on the 2nd of May, 1519 when he died.

well, u r as persistant as i am;) I dont think though that u were told art didnt exist anymore, but it definitely gets smeared all over the place. With Art as blurry as it is today, due to total loss of context, we should skip the simple stories about the how's and why's of art and accept different perceptions have lead to different practisings and artist will take us to places were we mayb least expected it. But if those fleeting artworks will be as persistant as the classic objects..

sorry cybeavertoo....someone was trying to tell me art didn't exist anymore. i don't mind if you don't like something, taste is an open question, just like the title. but cy, we've had this discussion before. miss Temkin is just providing entry level dialogue. art is a relatively small niche in this mediated world. museums provide Basic information for anyone interested. i really don't think she is attempting to define meaning for the work, thats what the paintings do.
cybeavertoo (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
people, lets not forget the title of this movie. to miss Temkin i would say: art is a passion and a craft, both of which these days are open to quite extreme individual interpretations, making artworks sometimes totally unrecognisable as art. But they will never be unrecognisable for personal taste, for liking or dislikinga certain piece of art. And it is not in the interest of art, artist nor the public to be told how they should look the specific art, which i dislike in the movie above.

Believe me, you are way over done.
MrWowforever (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
done....your above statements railing against all art begs the question, why are you on a place designed specifically for viewing and discussing Art? just to complain? anger? your job working at McDonalds? done.
sneha1965 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
Nope, you've had the job since high school. How's your acne?
sneha1965 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
You eat at McDonald's because it's all you can afford. How's life in your trailer?
sneha1965 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
And you would know what is stupid? You obviously haven't realized that your art world is collapsing around you. Go make your craft loser.
sneha1965 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
more people than care about painting. Btw, only you would call it art to try and elevate it more than what it is. I call it living.

why don't you paint that on your iphone and then send it on your blog and see who gives a shit:)
Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890)- Impressionist The works of Vincent Van Gogh are perhaps the most easily recognized and remembered of any artist, famous or not. Although he often created his master pieces with everyday objects, such as sunflowers and an empty chair, his art is intensely emotional.
Vincent Van Gogh was born the son of a pastor and grew up in a cultured and religious atmosphere. He first worked in a book store and as an art salesman before becoming a preacher for which he was latter dismissed for being overzealous. In 1880, he turned to the study of art with the determination to give joy by creating beauty.
Van Gogh suffered severe bouts of depression and has been described as a "difficult companion", an understated comment when considering that during one of his "difficult" episodes he attempted to attack his closest friend and peer, Gauguin, with a razor. The attack was successfully defended but Van Gogh then famously cut off a part of his own ear.
Van Gogh's depression and tantrums worsened and he began to suffer fits of madness and was admitted to an asylum.
In 1890, two months after his release from the asylum Vincent Van Gogh died by suicide, only ever having sold one painting. Over 200 years after his death, or deeply tragic life, the works of Vincent Van Gogh are immortal.

Salvador Dali- (1904-1989)- Surrealism The paintings of Salvador Dali depict strange hallucinatory characters of burning giraffes and seemingly melted wax watches. Dali described his own works as "hand-painted dream photographs". Dali is famous for his many talents apart from painting, sculpture, jewelry design, book illustration as well as theatre work, making the first ever surrealistic film, "Un chien andalou" in 1929 and even writing a novel, "Hidden Faces" in 1944.
Although Dali is best known as representing the surrealist movement, he skillfully developed his own deviation which he named "critical paranoia". Dali's theory supporting critical paranoia is that one should cultivate delusion while awareness and will suspended in thought.
If the sum of a man is his character, one would still be confused as to who Salvador Dali was. He cannot possibly be described in few short paragraphs. Just when you think you can understand him in nature there emerges one more perspective.
