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.
