The most thankless task is assessing and forming ratings in art. It is impossible to compare Mendelssohn's waltz and the aria "Ave Maria", paintings "Mona Lisa" and "Black Square", "The Tale of Igor's Campaign" and Goethe's poems. All these beautiful, brilliant creations of a person just need to be watched, listened to and stored.
Instructions
Step 1
"The Ninth Wave". The painting is in the State Russian Museum in St. Petersburg. On a canvas measuring 221x332 cm, the great Russian seascape painter Ivan Aivazovsky in 1850 depicted the struggle against the elements of four shipwrecked sailors. Huge blue-green waves, illuminated by the setting sun, are about to overwhelm the fragment of the mast - the last support of the unfortunate people. Aivazovsky wrote more than six thousand works, and all of them were recognized during the life of the author. The artist worked quickly. One of his famous paintings was painted during a lesson at an art school as an example for students.
Step 2
The painting "Mona Lisa" ("La Gioconda") is located in Paris in the Louvre, painted by the great artist Leonardo da Vinci in 1505. The whole world learned about it after the canvas was stolen by a museum worker in 1911. Art historians have established the name of the woman depicted in the famous painting. It turned out to be the wife of a merchant from Florence, Lisa Gherardini. Her enigmatic smile has become the topic of many new works, philosophical reflections and disputes.
Step 3
The painting "Black Square" by Kazimir Malevich, created in 1915, still causes an ambiguous attitude, controversy and various conclusions. Everyone can take a white sheet and draw a black square on it, but only Malevich was the first to guess to make a picture out of it, calling it the pinnacle of everything. The deep philosophical meaning inherent in this canvas makes "Black Square" one of the most famous works of mankind, with which everyone can get acquainted in the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow.
Step 4
In New York, the Museum of Modern Art contains a painting by Salvador Dali "The Persistence of Memory" (1931). The modern theory of the relativity of time and the only emerging classical impressionism have been successfully mixed on a canvas measuring only 24x33 cm. It depicts the current soft clock. Dali claimed that this idea was pushed to him by the sight of just processed cheese.
Step 5
Raphael's Sistine Madonna (1512) is now in Dresden in the Old Masters Gallery. A huge canvas (256x196 cm) was intended to decorate the altar in the monastery. It depicts a woman with a baby in her arms. To the right of her, the Saint points to the Madonna in the direction; to the left, Saint Barbara bowed her head. The background is a lot of little angel heads. Two angels perched at the very bottom edge of the picture.
