RE: Sharing is Caring - Paintings You Like
I am not a painter or I am not good at painting but I like painting, for me a painting is not just a work. I can even stand for a long time just to see the details and beauty and how the painter can paint it?
A very amazing work comes from a painter who probably almost everyone knows, "Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519)". I have known him since I was in school, he is in my study books and he is on the list of famous painters in the world because he was able to create a painting technique called "sfumato" which combines a smooth blend without rough contours like the famous painting "Mona Lisa". This painting is owned by the French government and is exhibited at the Musée du Louvre in Paris. It is said that this painting is full of mystery. In this painting, Mona Lisa looks directly at the viewer, but her arms, body, and head each turn smoothly in different directions, conveying a sense of stopped movement and the most mysterious is the way she smiles.... As if there is an implied meaning but this mystery is legendary until now. What does this painter want to convey? "A work must have a meaning".... He also uses oil paint and wood fiber media, is he just a professional painter? Of course not! He is a person who is full of curiosity and continues to learn and learn again. The main thing he really studied was natural science.
He found a place to illustrate his knowledge with his painting talent, so that almost all of his paintings have deep meaning and significance, even every stroke, color and position. In addition, Leonardo da Vinci also has paintings that are also very beautiful The Last Supper, Lady with an Ermine, and Virgin of the Rocks.
My references;
Hola amiga, sabes, también Da Vinci tiene el cuadro más caro del mundo, Salvator Mundi, vendido o subastado por 450000 $
Salvator Mundi
Superó al segundo cuadro mayor vendido, 300000 $ de De Kooning, que es este el del enlace https://steemit.com/hive-120695/@yacksylondon/sl44ki
Al parecer Da Vinci era cristiano, por lo de Salvator Mundi, que quiere decir Cristo salvador del mundo... Interesante no...

Interesting as in men dressed like women?
that's why it's interesting..... there's a philosophy in it and it looks like the world today... I'm sure it's not just the form of the painting, but also the skill that is very expensive... painting on paper may be possible but if you use other media, there are several things that must be considered including the thickness of the ink... expensive...
To me "she" doesn't look mysterious neither does her smile. I wonder if it can be a cultural difference we look at different eyes (and the world) because of our eyes.
The only thing I like to know is what is painted underneath and why he always dragged it around with him and never finished it.
🍀♥️👍
My view is that something doesn't seem to "end well" With that view...
Cultural issues will indeed greatly influence our view of something, but in a painting, I believe only the painter knows the core meaning of what he painted. Observers of paintings can speculate this and that, but sometimes painters still choose to keep secrets in their paintings because it is part of their soul.
Leonardo was not only a painter, he was a person who had a great curiosity and was very intelligent, his true nature was studying nature and he usually poured out what he learned in paintings. And "maybe" There is something that is still strange in his heart and he has not found the answer to his question....
Leonardo dug up corpses and cut them open. Imagine we would do that today.
So interesting is how we turn a blind eye on that today because?
Also I don't complain about secrets but I do "complain" about the forced upon opinion about this painting. If it comes to art one has the right to see it or feel it in his own way. With this painting that isn't allowed. The critic said.. Wikipedia and everyone copies that opinion so is there still someone discovering himself what the painting is about without being influenced by what the opinion should be?
Who decides what art is? The school? The fact he is dead? Is the mystery that smile or the fact he painted his female side or the fact he can make critics believe everything once known by dragging it around with him?
Do you know many paintings are painted on a former painting?
By the way he was an inventor and next to that an autodidact and that's for sure the best about him. Also interesting is that although he is famous today and people worldwide praise him and cheer those same people would not notice it if a same kind of artist would stand in front of them let alone give some support.
Society dislikes different, high intelligence isn't understood and it feels as if art only counts if is announced this is special and worrh the buy.
Thanks for the good talk.

I don't judge how someone sees Leonardo... Because the views of people who like to say good things and those who don't, they will say anything they don't like...
I agree that a "recognition" greatly affects a person's reputation, sometimes they will misjudge,...
What is clear, Leonardo is a painter who makes me wonder "how can he do everything"? Is he alone or is there someone behind his success...
For the conglomerate, getting something luxurious and rare is a hunt that can satisfy desire. Maybe even if it's a torn shirt, they will buy it...
