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.
Chinese Painting中国绘画艺术1-1History笔墨春秋
Chinese painting is one of the oldest continuous artistic traditions in the world. Earliest paintings were ornamental, not representational; they consisted of pattern or designs, not pictures. Stone Age pottery was painted with spiral, zigzags, dots, or animals. It was only during the Warring States Period (403-221 B.C.) that artists began to represent the world around them.Painting in the traditional style is today known in Chinese as guó huà 国画, meaning 'national' or 'native painting', in opposition to Western styles of art which became popular in China in the 20th century. Traditional painting involves essentially the same techniques as calligraphy and is done with a brush dipped in black or colored ink; oils are not used. As with calligraphy, the most popular materials on which paintings are made are paper and silk. The finished work is then mounted on scrolls, which can be hung or rolled up. Traditional painting also is done in albums and on walls, lacquerwork, and other media.There are mainly two techniques in Chinese painting, which areMeticulous - Gong-bi (工筆) often referred to as "court-style" paintingFreehand - Shui-mo (水墨) loosely termed watercolour or brush painting. The Chinese character "mo" means ink and "shui" means water. This style is also referred to as "xie yi" (寫意) or freehand style.Artists from the Han (202 BC) to the Tang (618-906) dynasties mainly painted the human figure. Much of what we know of early Chinese figure painting comes from burial sites, where paintings were preserved on silk banners, lacquered objects, and tomb walls. Many early tomb paintings were meant to protect the dead or help their souls get to paradise. Others illustrated the teachings of the Chinese philosopher Confucius or showed scenes of daily life.Many critics consider landscape to be the highest form of Chinese painting. The time from the Five Dynasties period to the Northern Song period (907-1127) is known as the "Great age of Chinese landscape". In the north, artists such as Jing Hao, Fan Kuan, and Guo Xi painted pictures of towering mountains, using strong black lines, ink wash, and sharp, dotted brushstrokes to suggest rough stone. In the south, Dong Yuan, Ju Ran, and other artists painted the rolling hills and rivers of their native countryside in peaceful scenes done with softer, rubbed brushwork. These two kinds of scenes and techniques became the classical styles of Chinese landscape painting.中国传统绘画的 要种类。从美术史的角度讲，民国以前的国画我们都统称为古画。中国画在古代无确定名称，一般称之为丹青，主要指的是画在绢、宣纸、帛上并加以装裱的卷轴画。近现代以来为区别于西方输入的油画（又称西洋画）等外国绘画而称之为中国画，简称"国画"。它是用中国所独有的毛笔、水墨和颜料，依照长期形成的表现形式及艺术法则而创作出的绘画。中国画按其使用材料和表现方法，又可细分为水墨画、重彩、浅绛、工笔、写意、白描等；按其题材又有人物画、山水画、花鸟画等。中国画的画幅形式较为多样，横向展开的有长卷（又称手卷）、横披，纵向展开的有条幅、中堂，盈尺大小的有册页、斗方，画在扇面上面的有折扇、团扇等。中国画在思想内容和艺术创作上，反映了中华民族的社会意识和审美情趣，集中体现了中国人对自然、社会及与之相关联的政治、哲学、宗教、道德、文艺等方面的认识。
