1883 I.N. Kramskoyi Russian 75.5cm×99cm oil painting Trechakov art collection in Moscow This is a portrait with great aesthetic value, and the painter expresses the spiritual temperament of the object with superb skills.
The unknown girl in the painting is arrogant and self-respecting. She was dressed in the luxurious clothes of Russian upper class and sat in a luxurious open carriage with the famous Alexander Theatre in St. Petersburg as the background. Who is the "unknown girl" is still a mystery. The painter has created a new style of expression in portrait painting, that is, depicting portraits with thematic plots, showing a resolute, decisive, thoughtful and youthful image of Russian intellectual women.
2. Mona Lisa?
1503- 1506 Leonardo da Vinci painted the Mona Lisa in the Louvre in Paris on an Italian drawing board of 77cm×53cm, which successfully portrayed the image of bourgeois women in cities during the rise of capitalism. According to records, Mona Lisa was originally the wife of a fur dealer in Florence, when she was only 24 years old.
The Mona Lisa in the picture shows a faint smile, and her brow reveals her inner joy. With superb painting skills, the painter showed the smiling faces of women, especially the slightly upturned corners of the mouth and the stretched smiling muscles, which made Mona Lisa's smile appear calm, peaceful and meaningful. This is a beautiful expression of reserved women of the middle class in ancient Italy, which many art historians call "mysterious smile".
3. The Last Supper
Collection: San Maria do Elg Monastery in Milan, Italy, Leonardo da Vinci (Italy, 1452 ~ 15 19).
"One of you will betray me ..." As soon as Jesus finished this sentence, a cold atmosphere of doom came over his face, and a series of the most complicated feelings were reflected in such a profound and delicate way for the first time in the history of painting.
Leonardo da vinci used an extremely complicated painting method proportional to the distance and the magical "outline fading method" to portray the shape of the saint vividly, and people will feel different meanings every time they appreciate this painting.
In the creation of this mural, Leonardo da Vinci, who valued density, gave up the mural technique and used egg yolk to blend pigments. Due to the failure of pigment preparation, the picture began to peel off two years later, and there was a lack of protection in the later period. Now most of them have been damaged, which is embarrassing.
4. starry night
Collection: new york Museum of Modern Art, Vincent? William? Van Gogh? High (Netherlands, 1853~ 1890)
1In June, 889, Van Gogh created the most famous landscape oil painting in Van Gogh's works in Saint Remy's Mental Hospital. That year, Van Gogh's madness broke out again. After a fierce quarrel with Gauguin, he cut off his ear, wrapped it in a handkerchief and gave it to a prostitute. After that, he was sent to a mental hospital for 1 year and 8 days. During this period, he completed 150 oil paintings and 100 sketches. Starry Night is the masterpiece of this period.
This painting shows a highly exaggerated and strongly shocking starry sky scene. Huge, curly, rotating nebulae, exaggerated starlight and incredible orange moon are probably what the painter sees in hallucinations and dizziness.
Under Van Gogh's brush, the scene between heaven and earth turned into a thick and powerful pigment paste, surging along the trajectory of the brush. The whole picture seems to be swallowed up by a surging torrent. The scenery is crazy, the mountains are turbulent, the moon nebula rotates, and the cypress rolling straight into the clouds looks like a huge black flame, reflecting the painter's restless feelings and crazy fantasy world.
5. "Dream"
Collection: American collector Steven Cohen, by Pablo Picasso (Spanish, 188 1~ 1973).
Unlike poor Van Gogh, Picasso had a brilliant life. As the founder of western modern art, his works are prolific and charming, and women are an important theme in his works.
