Arts is Life

ART IS
Art is essentially the most profound expression of
human creativity. As difficult to define as it is
difficult to assess, given that each artist chooses its
own rules and parameters, one can say, however,
that art is the result of choosing an environment to
induce a feeling, an idea a feeling or an experience
in the most efficient way possible for that
environment. By its mode of expression, art can be
seen as a form of knowledge (knowledge of art).

Michelangelo Buonarroti
Michelangelo was born on March 6, 1475, in Caprese,
Italy. Born to a family of moderate means in the banking
business, Michelangelo became an apprentice to a
painter before studying in the sculpture gardens of the
powerful Medici family. What followed was a
remarkable career as an artist in the Italian
Renaissance, recognized in his own time for his artistic
virtuosity. His works include the "David" and "Pieta"
statues and the ceiling paintings of Rome's Sistine
Chapel, including the "Last Judgment." Although he
always considered himself a Florentine, Michelangelo

Statue of David
Statue of David by the outstanding masters of the Renaissance
Michelangelo Buonarroti is in the Gallery of the Academy of Fine Arts in
Florence.
Sculpture made of monolithic blocks of precious Carrara marble, has a
height of 5.17 meters and a weight of more than 6 tonnes. "David" is
recognized as the standard of male beauty of the Renaissance and one
of the most important masterpieces of world art.
The statue depicts a naked young man powerfully built, ready for a
fight with a dangerous enemy. His proud head with the mop of hair,
frown and pursed lips firmly say unbending will.
Body Lines anatomically perfect, relaxed posture indicates the
confidence and strength, sling, thrown over his left shoulder, promises a
deadly enemy attack.
The work lasted two years and four months. Master at the time was 26
years old, but he had become famous as a great sculptor, Leonardo

Leonardo da
Vinci
Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) was a painter, architect, inventor, and all student
research. His natural genius crossed so many disciplines that he embodied the term
"Renaissance man." Today he is best known for its art, including two paintings, which
remain among the world's most famous and admired, the Mona Lisa and The Last
Supper . Art, da Vinci thought was undoubtedly connected with science and nature.
largely self-taught, he has filled dozens of secret notebooks with inventions,
observations and theories about the persecution of aeronautics to the anatomy. But
the rest of the world was just beginning to share their knowledge in books, made
with movable type, and the concepts expressed in his notebooks are often difficult to
interpret. as a result, although he praised in his time as a great artist and his
contemporaries often do not fully appreciate his genius combination of intelligence
and imagination that allowed him to create, at least on paper, such invention is a

Florence where he painted a series of portraits, which
included the "Mona Lisa" 21-to-31-inch work best known
today as the "Mona Lisa." Painted between about 1503 and
1506 shows a woman especially because of its mysterious
faint smile, it became the subject of speculation for
centuries. In the past, it is often considered to be the Mona
Lisa Gherardini, a courtesan, but modern science indicates
that it was Lisa del Giocondo, wife of Florentine merchant
Francisco del Giocondo. Today, a portrait-only portrait of da
Vinci from this period that survives, housed in the Louvre in
Paris, France, where it attracts millions of visitors each year.

The Last
Supper
"The Last Supper" by Leonardo da Vinci is the most popular
artistic representation of the Last Supper the Saviour. The great
Renaissance painter managed to portray the dramatic moment
when Jesus announces that one of the apostles sell it. It is lonely
and sad. Da Vinci's genius today impresses not only art lovers but
also generate interpretations, more or less accurate. Convinced
that mysteries still hide unnoticed, theologians, historians,
musicians, computer scientists and writers have found new

Vincent van Gogh

Vincent van Gogh is undoubtedly one of the most important painters in

the world, influencing to a great extent the art of the nineteenth century
did not necessarily by color, shape and composition, but by the emotions
that managed to transfer them via his paintings. Van Gogh was felt
attracted to painting since an early age and it is not surprising that he
decided to become an artist in the true sense. Although he died at an
advanced age at all, namely 37 years, the painter Vincent van Gogh
managed to achieve in just 10 years more than 2,100 paintings, of which
860 were made in oil. Emotion, color, feelings, love of nature are just
some of the words that can describe very well the paintings of renowned
painter.

Raphael
Raphael was born on April 6, 1483, in Urbino, Italy. He became
Perugino's apprentice in 1504. Living in Florence from 1504 to 1507,
he began painting a series of "Madonnas." In Rome from 1509 to
1511, he painted the Stanza della Segnatura ("Room of the
Signatura") frescoes located in the Palace of the Vatican. He later
painted another fresco cycle for the Vatican, in the Stanza d'Eliodoro
("Room of Heliodorus"). In 1514, Pope Julius II hired Raphael as his
chief architect. Around the same time, he completed his last work in
his series of the "Madonnas," an oil painting called the Sistine
Madonna. Raphael died in Rome on April 6, 1520.

Pablo Picasso
Born in Mlaga, Spain, in 1881, Pablo Picasso, became one of the
greatest and most influential artists of the 20th century and the creator
(with Georges Braque) of Cubism. A Spanish expatriate painter, sculptor,
printmaker, ceramicist and stage designer, Picasso was considered radical
in his work. After a long prolific career, he died on April 8, 1973, in
Mougins, France. The enormous body of Picasso's work remains, however,
and the legend lives ona tribute to the vitality of the "disquieting"
Spaniard with the "sombrepiercing" eyes who superstitiously believed that
work would keep him alive. For nearly 80 of his 91 years, Picasso devoted
himself to an artistic production that contributed significantly toand
paralleled the entire development ofmodern art in the 20th century.
