Which creators can be worthy of the title of "the greatest artists in the world"? These are figures of various eras, they all worked in different genres and achieved different heights, but all of them are united by the fact that their names will forever remain in the memory of not only people who are directly close to art, but also ordinary people.
Great Renaissance artists of the world
The era richest in talented creators is, without a doubt, the Renaissance. During this period, many eminent masters lived and worked. But the most famous of them is, of course, Leonardo da Vinci. Talented not only as an artist, but also as an inventor, he was able to achieve unprecedented heights. Although all this happened and not without outside help. The Medici family, art patrons and patrons made da Vinci's success possible. The most famous work of the master is the "Mona Lisa", or "La Gioconda", which is still kept in the Louvre.
Other great artists of the world who worked during this period are Michelangelo and Raphael. Michelangelo, like da Vinci, was one of the brightestrepresentatives of the "universal man". After all, he was strong not only in painting, but also in sculpture, architecture, philosophy. His most famous work is the Sistine Chapel. The ceiling of the building is completely covered with frescoes by Michelangelo, on which he worked for four years, during his work he almost went blind, but he made his name in world history. Raphael was partly a follower of the great da Vinci and Michelangelo, from whom he studied.
Modernity
After the Renaissance period, the view of art completely changes, although after this period great artists of the world appear who rethink the old traditions. A few centuries later, the number of directions in painting increased unspeakably. Today, everyone knows the works of Picasso and Dali, which are already far from the canons of former art, but continue to excite.
In our time, famous artists also appear, but their paintings can hardly be called great, they are rather aimed at making money, and art fades into the background. For example, Andy Warhol is one of the most popular artists of the last century, whose paintings are estimated in the millions, but in reality they represent little from an artistic point of view.
Art in Russia
Some of the world's great artists were originally from Russia, although their fame has spread throughout the world. The most famous of them are Aivazovsky (a world-famous marine painter), Rublev (one of the great icon painters, author of the famous "Trinity") and Vasnetsov (author of the painting "Bogatyrs").
