The world's best-looking painting 1

1, "Mona Lisa" - Leonardo da Vinci . The most famous painting in the world, it is visited by six million people a year in Paris.

His achievements and contributions as a representative of the Renaissance are manifold. The Mona Lisa depicts the portrait of a dignified and beautiful Western woman with a beautiful face, so realistic that she seems to be a real person. The frank and confident demeanor reveals an inscrutable smile with a mysterious smile, presenting a noble and inviolable dignity, and it seems as if the people who watch it have self-respect and self-esteem along with it, which is a kind of praise for people. The Mona Lisa is a work of the Renaissance, after the medieval era of religious domination and repression of mankind, whose works were all based on the theme of God. The Mona Lisa, in contrast to the tradition, is a painting of a living human being, a real person, which can be appreciated for its ideological significance, a revolution on behalf of the emerging bourgeoisie to break the spiritual shackles of the Church.

2. The Last Supper - Leonardo da Vinci .

This world-famous painting is not shown in museums and is now hidden in the convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan. The painting was made by the most famous artist, Leonardo da Vinci, as late as the 15th century. The painting depicts the scene of the Last Supper of Jesus and his disciples.

3. Creation of Adam - Michelangelo

The Creation of Adam is the most moving scene in the entire Sistine Chapel lobby ceiling painting Genesis, which does not directly depict God molding Adam. This scene does not directly depict God molding Adam, but rather the moment when the divine spark is about to touch Adam: God, who flew from the sky, extends his finger to Adam, and is about to transfer his soul to him like a power supply. This dramatic moment, a marvelous juxtaposition of man and God, triggers in us a sense of infinite awe that has never been seen before or since.

4, The Starry Night (also known as Starry Night, Starry Moon, Starry Night) - Vincent van Gogh William van Gogh

This is van Gogh's most famous landscape painting, originally titled The Night of the Stars and the Moon. Originally titled The Night of the Stars and the Moon, or The Starry Night, or The Starry Night Sky, but customarily referred to as The Starry Night Sky by art lovers in China, this work was created in June 1889 in an asylum in Saint-Rémy. There are two styles of line in this painting, one is long and crooked and the other is short and broken. The interplay between the two gives the picture a dazzling fantasy. In the composition, the tumultuous sky contrasts with the calm village. The flames are visually balanced by the horizontal mountains and the sky. Now in the Museum of Modern Art, New York.

5. The Scream - Edvard Munch

In this painting, there is no specific object that suggests the horror that triggered the scream. The image in the center of the picture is creepy. He seems to be walking past us, about to turn toward the railing that reaches into the distance. Covering his ears, he can barely hear the footsteps of the two distant pedestrians, nor can he see the two boats and the church steeple in the distance; otherwise, the whole loneliness that is so tightly wrapped around him might be slightly reduced. This lonely man, completely isolated from reality, seems to have been completely conquered by his own deep-seated fear. The image is highly exaggerated, the deformed and distorted screaming face is a caricature. The round eyes and sunken cheeks bring to mind the skeleton associated with death. It was simply a screaming ghost. "It could only have been drawn by a madman," Munch had written on a sketch of the painting.

6. 'Eternity of Memory' - Salvador Dali

'Eternity of Memory' is a very apt name, as the image is hard to erase from our minds. In this bleak and rambling dream, solid objects inexplicably soften, metal becomes like rotting flesh, and even invites ants. Dali masterfully controls what he calls "the trick of fooling the eye," depicting with what he calls "the most irrefutable precision," in order to "order the chaos so that the real world completely loses its credibility," which is standard. This is the standard surrealist goal. But there is also a recognizable reality in the picture: the golden cliffs in the distance are the coast of Catalonia, Dali's hometown.

7. Maiden with a Pearl Earring - Vermeer

The maiden in this painting has an extraordinary air, and she gazes unselfconsciously at the artist, and at us. When enjoying this painting, the viewer will easily melt into this pulsating gaze, forgetting himself. The Dutch art critic Goschild considers this to be Vermeer's finest work, the "Mona Lisa of the North". The charm of Mona Lisa Smile lies in her mystery. No one knows why this woman can radiate such a serene smile, and what kind of mood the artist was in when he painted such a work.

8. Night Patrol--Rembrandt

Rembrandt's 1642 painting Night Patrol is the most famous and controversial work of his life. At the time, he accepted an order to paint a group portrait of the members of the Amsterdam City Archers. Rembrandt's composition is a departure from the stereotypes, and the picture adopts an approach close to the stage effect, not only letting everyone's image appear on the picture, but also arranging them in a staggered manner, creating a solemn and orderly scene of soldiers going out to war. The clever use of light adds a certain mystery to the picture, with the two main figures at the center of the illumination, looking realistic and vivid, reinforcing the grand baroque style of the picture, and the work thus takes on the nature of both a genre painting and a history painting. However, the patrons of the painting were dissatisfied with the work because each of the archers had paid the same amount of money, but the picture did not have the same position and degree of clarity for them. They therefore demanded that the painting be altered, but Rembrandt refused. In order to claim back the money for the painting, the Amsterdam Shooters' Guild took Rembrandt to court and attacked him vociferously, causing an uproar.

8. Self-Portrait Without a Beard

This Self-Portrait Without a Beard was Van Gogh's last self-portrait, painted in 1889, the year his 'mother' was 70 years old. Although the relationship between mother and son had been strained by some conflicts in the early years, and he did not usually keep in touch, on his mother's birthday, in order to reassure her about his health, Van Gogh decided to send her a self-portrait. Van Gogh paints himself as much healthier, younger, and tidier than he is in reality, but none of this can disguise the despair and loneliness in his eyes. In the end, Van Gogh gave his mother a drawing of Al's bedroom and hung this one on his wall.

10, Guernica - Picasso

Many of the images in the painting reflect the artist's absorption of traditional elements of painting. The image of a mother holding a dead child seems to be derived from the tradition of the Madonna in mourning for Christ; the woman holding an oil lamp is reminiscent of the shape of the Statue of Liberty; the image of a man with his hands raised to the sky and exclaiming in horror is not dissimilar to the figure of a patriot in Goya's paintings of the martyrdom of the patriots; and the image of the soldier falling to the ground with his arms wide open seems to be related to the image of some of the war paintings of the early Italian Renaissance, which is the relationship between the two by marriage. It can be seen that Picasso is not only a bold innovator rich in rebellious spirit, but also an artist who honors and masters tradition.

Chinese Ink Painting - "the best painting in the world" Tang Yin, "Double Clear Picture"

Artist Chen Danqing once made a bold statement: "Chinese ink painting is the best painting in the world." As a distinctive school of painting unique to the world, Chinese ink painting has earned its luster for many of our painters.

Why do many painters in China willingly call themselves "ink painters"?

In Germany, they might be called "neo-expressionist painters"; in Italy, "neo-painters". We, on the other hand, prefer to talk about it in terms of "national painting" or "ink". On the contrary, we have never seen a group of Westerners talking about a group of creations with the keyword "oil painting".

This is because, just around the word "ink", a series of learning has come up, roughly do not think, in fact, there is a great deal to be said.

The origin of ink painting is the literati, is the race of Chinese culture private upbringing, leisure is the play pen, hundreds of years of history, this way the West does not; the first talk about ink, a variety of theories related to aesthetics, art history is like a sea, can not be generalized to the end, you have to look up a lot of related literature, in order to have a preliminary understanding of it, and the Western oil paintings do not have such a problem.

Vast and profound Chinese ink painting, if you participate in the evaluation, then only in the cultural origins, has been quite a taste.

Chinese ink painting has not been understood for a long time, and some people think that it does not have the realism and delicacy of Western oil paintings, but in fact, it is precisely these "shortcomings" in the eyes of the layman that have made the Chinese ink painting unique: vivid rhythm, writing God with form.

Qi Baishi, "Swimming Fish in the Lotus Pond"

Chinese ink painting, the beauty of the wonderful is that it does not rely on a hundred and ten sketches, but still the characters and things painted very emotional. For example, Zeng Whale, he painted Wang Shimin and Wang Jian, painting his portrait of his youth, very vivid, but not at all sketching, especially not the Academy of Fine Arts that set of sketching. Even if it is, there are a thousand ways to do it in painting, not just the salon school way.

Another example is Wang Benjie's landscape paintings, where the basic elements are very simple, but after chapping and dabbing, and combining them with his own symbols, he was able to construct a large landscape. Therefore, when we look at Wang Benjie's paintings, we can always realize the complexity and harmony of the mood, the mood of the remote, and realistic painting, is never achieve this effect.

Mr. Chen Danqing, after seeing the art of the world, categorically said, "Do not believe that 'drawing is the foundation' of this sentence, the decline of Chinese painting will begin with the teaching of drawing."

Realism is by no means the first sketch, in fact, as early as a few thousand years ago, the Egyptians and Indians can be traced everything like. Sketching is just a way of painting that emerged from Italy during the Renaissance, and then continued for hundreds of years, becoming an academic system since the 18th century, then spread to the Soviet Union, and then to China, resulting in a "catastrophic" shock to the industry.

Zhu Baoci's Plum Stone by Tang Yin

The introduction of Western ink and watercolor sketching would have destroyed the life of Eastern ink and watercolor. None of the ancient Chinese painters ever learned Western sketching, not Qi Baishi, not Zhang Daqian.

Chinese painting starts from a line, from an eye, from a localization, which is in no way in line with the Western rules of painting, and it is not in line with the Eastern rules of aesthetics to apply Western rules to Chinese painting.

Western sketching is focal perspective, Chinese painting is multi-point perspective; Western sketching is writing type, Chinese painting is writing God. If you take the Western sketching law as a base and ask you to use Chinese brushes to draw, the expressive power of brushes and lines will be completely gone, and the writing of Chinese painting will be lost.

Every Chinese painter who accepts Western art should not doubt the tradition of Chinese painting; every Chinese who loves Western art should not lose the Eastern aesthetics. Between China and the West, we advocate a balance in order to make contemporary Chinese ink painting go better and farther.
