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.

http://www.artehistoria.com/ge... Harmenszoon van Rijn, pintor barroco holandés, nace en Leiden el 15 de julio de 1606. Era hijo de un molinero perteneciente a la clase media holandesa, por lo que pudo asistir a la Escuela Latina y en 1620 matricularse en la Universidad de Leiden, aunque desconocemos en qué materias. En 1621 abandona los estudios universitarios e inicia su aprendizaje artístico en su ciudad natal con un oscuro pintor llamado Jacob van Swanenburgh, en cuyo taller estuvo tres años. Entre 1624 y 1625 continuó su aprendizaje en Amsterdam, esta vez en el taller de un pintor de mayor relieve, Pieter Lastman, de quien toma la influencia de Caravaggio y Elsheimer. Posiblemente también frecuentaba otro taller, el de Jacob Pynas, de estilo italianizante. En 1625 le encontramos de nuevo en Leiden, donde abre taller con Jan Lievens, a quien había conocido en el estudio de Lastman. De estos años es su primera obra conocida, la Lapidación de San Esteban, en donde se aprecia claramente la influencia caravaggista. En 1628 su fama es ya considerable y tiene discípulos a su cargo, destacando Gerrit Dou. Al morir su padre en 1630, Rembrandt abandona Leiden y se instala en Amsterdam, asociándose con un marchante de obras de arte llamado Hendrick van Uylemburgh, quien le proporciona interesantes encargos, sobre todo retratos en los que el pintor pone toda su atención, captando el alma del retratado y los preciosistas detalles de los vestidos, aumentando así su fama y su fortuna. En 1632 realiza una de sus obras más famosas, La lección de anatomía del doctor Tulp, que tuvo enorme éxito. Su situación económica es muy próspera y lo será aun más al contraer matrimonio en 1634 con Saskia van Uylemburgh, sobrina de su socio y poseedora de una excelente dote. Saskia se convertirá en el primer baluarte de la vida del pintor y en la protagonista de múltiples obras como el Autorretrato con Saskia o Saskia con sombrero. La década de 1630 será de notable éxito para el pintor, con obras de temática religiosa como El sacrificio de Isaac o El banquete nupcial de Sansón, excelentes paisajes o magníficos autorretratos. Sin embargo, 1642 no será de buen recuerdo para Rembrandt ya que muere Saskia - algunos meses después de dar a luz al único hijo que les sobrevive, Titus - y su cuadro La ronda de noche recibe una gélida acogida por parte de la crítica. A partir de ese momento, la ordenada y exitosa vida de Rembrandt sufre duros embates tanto económicos - llegando a la quiebra total en 1656 - como amorosos y sociales con los pleitos con Geertje Dircks, niñera de su hijo Titus, que le acusó de haberle hecho promesa matrimonial, o las acusaciones de vivir en concubinato con su sirvienta Heindrickje Stofeels, muchacha que se convertirá en el sustento de los años finales del artista y en modelo de múltiples obras como Hendrickje en el lecho. A pesar de estos lamentables episodios, el arte de Rembrandt avanza, abandona la exuberancia barroca pero se enriquece con un colorido vibrante y un enorme interés por el detalle, creando nuevas iconografías adecuadas a la mentalidad protestante como La cena de Emaús o Cristo y la adúltera. Los encargos vuelven a aparecer en la década de 1660, destacando La lección de anatomía del doctor Deyman, Los síndicos del gremio de los pañeros o La novia judía. En todos ellos encontramos esa "manera áspera" que caracteriza sus últimas décadas, en la que la pincelada larga, empastada, será la principal protagonista, sin menospreciar el papel de la luz dorada, con la que consigue crear efectos atmosféricos de calidad insuperable, tomando como referencias a la Escuela veneciana y Tiziano. Rembrandt fallece en Amsterdam el 4 de octubre de 1669 a la edad de 63 años, siendo uno de los más innovadores y excepcionales artistas de todos los tiempos.

Superb.. thanks :-)
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.
