"Storm on the Black Sea" - a masterpiece of Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky is considered a real confirmation of his talent.

The work was done in black colors: blue, grayish, greenish.

The fame of Dali brought, of course, surrealistic works performed in a specific, memorable style. Whether it be “Discovery of America ...” or “Living Still Life” - any picture of this kind seemed to have been created outside of human vision, fantasy, imagination and even dreams.

Jeroen Antonison van Aken or Jerome Bosch. Famous Dutch artist of the Northern Renaissance. 25 paintings and 8 drawings of this painter have survived to this day.

And then, having already become emperor of Russia, Peter the Great issued a decree that “if anyone does not make the evening promenade, it will be spoken to in the Secret Chancellery”.

In these paintings, he found something subtle and unusual among ordinary residents, unremarkable, who are the main segment of any city. In this case, the eye of the artist was caught by an ordinary seamstress.

Petrov-Vodkin rightly believed that the artist should be able to convey objects as accurately as possible. They are the initial basis of any image. The artist was sure that it was necessary to convey not credibility, but a certain essence. You should also hone the ability to understand the relationship of objects in space.
