I. Mona Lisa

As an outstanding representative of the Renaissance, Leonardo da Vinci made many achievements and contributions. Mona Lisa depicts a dignified and beautiful portrait of a western woman. Her face is beautiful and her image is lifelike, as if she were a real person. The calm and confident manner reveals an elusive mysterious smile, showing a noble and inviolable dignity. People who look at it seem to have self-respect and self-respect, which is a tribute to people. Mona Lisa is a work of Renaissance, which was preceded by the era of medieval religious rule and oppression of mankind. Its works are all about God. Contrary to tradition, the Mona Lisa depicts real people, with real people as the performance content, so we can understand the connotation of its ideological significance. This is a revolution that breaks the spiritual shackles of the church on behalf of the emerging bourgeoisie.

The name Mona Lisa is also called Mona Lisa, an eternal smile.

Second, the last supper.

Leonardo da vinci's The Last Supper was created when he accepted an order from the monastery of Santa Maria de Gracci in Milan. This is a traditional biblical theme. In the past two centuries, many famous painters have tried this theme, but there are some shortcomings. First of all, the characters lack psychological conflicts and the dramatic unfolding of the story is not vivid. Where's da Finch's oil painting abandons all the shortcomings of the previous theme, deepens the moral of the story from the characteristics of the characters' activities, personalities, emotions and psychological reactions, and reflects the opposition between human justice and evil through the conflict between Jesus and Judas. In fact, what it shows is the epitome of the struggle between light and darkness that all upright people in Italian society could see at that time.

Step 4 create Adam

Period: 15 10 by Michelangelo. The Creation of Adam is based on the second chapter of Genesis: The Lord God made man from the dust of the ground and breathed life into his nostrils, so he became a living soul, and his name was Adam. God built a Garden of Eden in the East and placed the man he created there. ? In order to concentrate on the creation of the Great God and the birth of Adam, Michelangelo put God and Adam in the air and land on the left and right. On the right is the great god of the Lord, flying in the air. He held an angel in his left hand and reached out to Adam with his right hand. Adam was naked, lying on the land on the left, with one hand reaching out to the Great God. God and human fingers communicate with each other like electricity, showing the birth of energetic old people and young and beautiful life.

5. all angry

The fountain is Angel's most famous image of naked women. From 65438 to 0830, during his stay in Florence, Italy, Angel began to write The Fountain, but he never finished it. Twenty-six years later, at the age of seventy-six, he finished the painting. It is said that an assistant helped him draw it. Spring realized his formal pursuit of the perfect combination of human beauty and classical beauty. Here, he showed the beauty of serenity, lyricism and purity universally praised by human beings. He depicted a naked girl holding a jar to pour water. Her muscles are more attractive because of the beautiful and gentle curves of angels. Her figure is slightly S-shaped, graceful and her eyes are pure. Although her body is exposed, it makes people feel that she is as holy as a clear spring. Below the budding daisy in the lower left corner of the picture is her symbol. The green leaves overhead, the clear spring at the foot and the quiet Shan Ye all add artistic conception to this painting. From this painting, people feel a quiet lyrical realm, a lofty realm where the soul is comforted and the feelings are sublimated. Fountains remind people of mountain springs, the source of life, and the purity of a girl. After visiting Fountain, a critic said: This girl is the product of the decline of painter's art, and her beauty has surpassed all women. She condensed her beauty, and her image was more vivid and idealized.

6, sunrise impression

Monet's oil painting, this famous painting was a sketch drawn by Monet in Afreh Port in 1873. He also painted a sunset in the same place. When he sent it to the first impressionist exhibition, neither painting had a title. A reporter satirized Monet's paintings as "a denial of beauty and truth, which can only give people an impression". Monet then gave the painting a title "Impression of Sunrise". As a sketch painting of seascape, the whole picture is shrouded in a thin gray tone, and the brushwork is very random and messy, showing a scene of fog blending. At sunrise, there is fog on the sea, and the colors of the sky and the sun are reflected in the water. The scenery on the shore is very vague and can't be seen clearly, giving people an instant feeling.

7. Unknown girl

"Unknown Girl" is a realistic portrait created by Russian painter Ivan nikolayevich Kramskoi in 1883, and is now in the Terechakov Art Museum. Appreciation: In front of us, a typical Russian intellectual woman in the19th century, sat sideways, turned her head and looked down at the ruthless world, with a face of pride and self-esteem. This gesture language shows that the characters in the painting are out of tune with the world, looking at them coldly, despising them and unwilling to integrate with them, suggesting the attitude of some democratic intellectuals to society at that time. The beauty of this female portrait lies in the expression of personality and also reflects the painter's aesthetic view. The woman in front of me doesn't have gorgeous clothes and your wife's dress, but she is fashionable and decent. She is an educated, educated and high-grade intellectual woman in the upper class. The color tone is strong and changeable, and the cold, deep and handsome face is bright and prominent, especially solemn, elegant and noble.

10, the girl from avignon.

Avignon Maiden, Picasso, 1907, Oil Painting, new york, Pablo Picasso (188 1- 1973) is one of the most influential artists in the west in the 20th century. He left a surprising number of works in his life, with rich and varied styles and extraordinary creativity. Picasso was born in Malaga, Spain, and later settled in France for a long time. Just as people expected Picasso to embark on a new exploration stage of cubism with the blue period and pink period as the starting point, 1907, he painted this painting "The Maiden of avignon". This is a cubist work completely divorced from the previous artistic techniques. At that time, it was inevitable to be ridiculed and accused by all walks of life. In a word, these images make people feel sick after watching them. When the poet associated these images with avignon, the audience seemed to be insulted and scolded Picasso for his vulgarity. Little did they know that this painting made French cubist painting develop unprecedentedly in the next ten years, and even spread to other fields. Not only in art, but also in ballet, stage design, literature and music. The Girl in avignon created a new situation of French cubism, and Picasso and Braque also became the man of the hour of this painting school.
