Mystical troika of the most mysterious paintings of famous artists. Mystical paintings

The history of writing some paintings.

Many artworks over time are in mind with a whole train of stories. Good or not very, completely different, unusual, often terrible, they add some kind of unpretentious picture of some aura. By the way, such auras are perfectly seen by bioenergy professionals, psychics. And the events are associated with the paintings. They occur as a result or simply coincide in time - we will not argue. But a small overview of such works.

Creation of the Impressionist Monet "Water Lilies".

One by one was burning for an unknown reason the workshop of the Creator, then the houses of the owners - a cabaret on Montmartre in Paris, the house of the French patron, the New York Museum of Contemporary Arts. On the this moment The picture behaves quietly, calmly hangs in the Museum Museum (France).

Another unlimited picture of the "Venus with a mirror" belongs to the brush of Velasquez. It is believed that everyone who acquired it either died with a violent death, or ruined ...

Even museums very reluctantly included it in their exposure and the picture was constantly migrated. So far, the visitor who cut the canvas with a knife was not attached to her.

In Russian painting, too, have their own oddities. From school, everyone knows the Troika Perov. Native in this three little light boy. The model for this image of Perov found Moscow. Woman with 12 year old son on a manty tree on the street.

The woman lost all other children and her husband, and Vasya became its last consolation. She really did not want that the boy would have picked up, but later everything agreed. But after the end of the picture, very quickly, Vasya died ... The woman asks to give her a picture, but the artist can no longer, the picture at that time is already in Tretyakov. But Perov still writes a portrait of a boy and transfers his mother.

There are such heavy work And Vrubel. Portrait of his son Savva was written shortly before unexpected death Boy.
But the "demon defeated" .... Vrubel constantly rewritten him, changed the flavor, it turned out that the work was very seriously affected by the artist's psyche.

He did not come off from work in any way, even after the work was placed on the exhibition ....Vrubel came even to the exhibition, worked on the web. He was examined by Bekhterev himself. As a result, relatives are called Psychiatrist Bekhtereva and he puts a terrible diagnosis. Vrubel is placed in the hospital, where he dies soon.

Another interesting couple of paintings.
One of them "Maslenitsa"

The second belongs to Antonov.

The paintings were particularly fame in 2006, when an entry appeared on the Internet, allegedly on behalf of one teacher. Which stated that the copy belongs to Peru is crazy, but the picture has a feature that immediately indicates mental disorder author. A lot of people begins to look for this difference, but of course it does not find ... more accurate options are offered a lot, but to check for correctness ... until)

Another instance was the portrait of Mary Lopukhina, written in the time of Pushkin.
Her life was very long and almost inheritance after creating the painting, she died from tuberculosis.

Her father, by rumors, Masson, managed to conclude the spirit of his daughter in the picture. And now every woman who looked at the portrait risks to die. Her account is already more than a dozen of the then young girls. In 1880, the picture buys the story of the Tretyakov. After that, rumors calm.

The next "dark" picture is a "cry" of a mun. His life was one big black stripe tragedy - Mother's death in early age, sister's death and brother, then "schizophrenia" another sister. In the 90s after the nervous breakdown, it is treated with electric shock. He is afraid of sex and therefore not marry. Munk dies on 81 meters year, handing out their paintings (1200), sketches (4500) and 18,000 photos.
The main picture of the mug was his "Creek".

Many who had to contact the picture, get a blow to fate - sick, quarrel with loved ones, fall into severe depression or died. There are somewhat very completely scary stories. One employee, completely healthy personShe was inadvertently dropped and in the result he got a headache with increasing force, this was drawn until the minister did not commit suicide. Another dropping picture got into a car accident and received the hardest fractures of the arms, legs, ribs, pelvis and concussion. And here you can take a curious visitor who pushed the picture with a finger. A few days later he burns in his own house alive.

Hollandets Peter Bruegel Sr. wrote "worship of Magi" for two years.
The model for the Virgin Mary became his cousin, a barren woman who beat her husband for it. It was she who caused a bad aura picture. The cloth bought collectors four times and after that, for 10-12 years, children were not born in families. In 1637, the picture buys Jacob Van Campen. By the time he had already had three descendants, because the curse was not frightened.

This is already modern creation. Its author Japanese schoolgirl painted her shortly before suicide.
If you look at this picture of about five minutes in a row, the girl in the picture changes - she has blusted eyes, black hair, fangs grow.

"Woman of rain" in 1996 wrote Svetlana Taurus. For half a year before it began to be a good attention, observation. When one day, Svetlana approached the canvas and saw this woman there, her whole image, colors, textures. She painted the picture very quickly, there was a feeling that someone drove the artist's hand.
After that, Svetlana tried to sell the canvas. But the first buyer quickly returned the picture, because it seemed to her that there was someone in the apartment, she dreamed of this woman. There was a feeling of silence, a sense of fear and anxiety. Rain. The same was repeated several times. Now the picture hangs in one of the shops, but no more buyers are not located on it. Although the artist thinks that the picture is simply waiting for his viewer to whom it is intended.

And I painted this picture Bill Stonehem. The scandal began after one of the exhibitions.

Mentally unbalanced people looking through this picture became bad, they lost consciousness, they began to cry, etc. All in 1972, when the picture was drawn ...

It all started in 1972, when the picture was drawn by Bill Stonehem old photowhere he was photographed at a five-year-old and found in the Chicago house where he lived at the time (first photo).

For the first time, the painting was shown the owner and art historian Los Angeles Times, who after that passed away. Maybe it was a coincidence, and maybe not. Then the picture was acquired by actor John Marli (died in 1984). Next begins the most interesting. The picture was discovered on a landfill among the pile of garbage. The family found it brought her home and already on the first night, a small four-year-old daughter ran into the bedroom of parents with the cries that the children were fighting in the picture. On the next night, the head of the family put the camcorder on the switching on the movement in the room where the picture hung. The camcorder worked several times.

The picture was exhibited on an eBay Internet auction. Soon, anxious letters began to come to the postal addresses of Ebay administrators with complaints of self-election, loss of consciousness and even heart attacks. On eBay (as well as in this post) there was a warning, but people as a curious and many negligerated warning.

The picture was sold for 1025 USD, starting price was 199 USD. The page with the picture was visited over 30,000 times, but mostly just for the sake of interest. She bought Kim Smith, who lived in a small town near Chicago. He just looked like something for his just a renovated art gallery on the expanses of Ineta. When he came across "Hands Resist Him", I first thought that she was painted in the forties and she was perfect for him as an exhibit.

It would be the end of history, but the letters began to come to Smith now. Many of them were as before with stories about poor well-being after watching the paintings, but there were those who wrote about evil who had emanated from her. Others demanded just to burn it. He was suggested even Ed and Lorrayain Warren, known as the expelled demons in the Amitilian house in 1979. Some even remembered the famous Satilla killing in the Forest Hills State Calmine. The ghosts of two children, as they say, are often visited by the house on the hills. Psychics claimed: "We saw a boy. He wore a light T-shirt and shorts. His sister was always in the shade. He seemed to defend her. They were called Tom and Laura and they like two drops like children shown in the picture.

Another picture from the same "Opera"

Mysterious events related to the picture "Watching Boy", which began to occur in 1985 in the UK, are still expanding the imagination and put the researchers in this phenomenon.

The artist and the author of the painting "Watching Boy", the father of the re6 winter depicted on her, mocked her son, Ignoring the baby in the face of the kid. The fact is that a boy to death 6 I had a fire. And the man was trying to do the brightness, vitality and naturalness of the web. Malik cried - the artist drew. Koy kid shouted on the father: "Gorge you myself!". After a month. And after a couple of weeks, the first body of the artist 6 was found in his house next to the picture of a crying boy who survived in a fire.

The unusualness of this painting remained unnoticed while the Yorkshire Firefighter Peter Hall did not interview one of the major newspapers of England, which spoke about an unusual phenomenon, which accompanied him almost all year. During the extinguishing of fires, which arose throughout Northern England, the firefighters were found that in all cases the fire arose in the room where the picture "Crying boy" hung, but the most interesting thing was that no matter how strong there was a fire, the picture is always There was a mustache and not touched fire.

One of the most famous "damned" canvons is the "crying boy" - the reproduction of the painting spanish artist Giovanni Bragolina. The history of its creation is such: the artist wanted to write a portrait crying child and as a simulator took his little Son. But, since the baby could not cry to order, then the father specifically brought him to tears, burning in front of his face matches.

The artist knew that his son was panicially afraid of fire, but the art was more expensive than the nerves of his own child, and he continued to mock him. One day, the toddler brought to the hysterics could not stand and shouted, pouring into tears: "Gorge you yourself!" This curse did not slow down to come true - a boy died from pneumonia after two weeks, and soon he burned down in his own house and his father ... This is the background. Its sinister fame is a picture, more precisely - its reproduction, found in 1985, in England.

It happened due to the series strange coincidences - In North England, one after another began to occur the fires of residential buildings. There were human sacrifices. Some affected mentioned that only cheap reproduction with the image of a crying child was miraculously survived from all the property. And such messages became more and more, until finally, one of the fire inspectors in all did not declare that in all the burnt houses without exception was found intact "crying boy."

Immediately, the newspapers overwhelmed the wave of letters, which reported on various accidents, deaths and fires that occurred after the owners bought this picture. Of course, the "crying boy" immediately began to be considered damned, the story of his creation, heated hearing and inventions ... As a result, one of the newspapers published an official statement that everyone who has this reproduction should get rid of it immediately, and the authorities It is also forbidden to acquire and keep her at home.

Still " Crying boy"Pursuits bad glory, especially in North England. By the way, the original has not yet been found. True, some doubters (especially in Russia) deliberately hanging this portrait on the wall, and, it seems, no one burned down. But still those who want to check the legend in practice are very few.

Another famous "fiery masterpiece" is considered "water lilies" of the Impressionist Monet. The artist himself was the first to suffer from her - his workshop was almost burned for incomprehensible reasons.

Then the new owners of "water lilies" - a cabaret on Montmartre, a house of one French patron and even the New York Museum of Contemporary Arts. Currently, the picture is located in the Museum Museum, in France, and its "fire hazard" properties does not show. Until.

Another, less well-known and externally noticeable picture, "a igniter" hangs at the Royal Museum of Edinburgh. This is a portrait of an elderly man with hand elongated. According to reference, sometimes the fingers on the hand written an old man begin to move. And the one who saw this unusual phenomenon will necessarily take death from fire in the very near future.

Two famous portrait victims - Lord Seymour and Captain far Swimming Balfast. Both of them argued that they saw how the old man moved his fingers, and both later died on fire. The superstitious citizens even demanded from the director of the museum to remove a dangerous painting from sin away, but he, of course, did not agree - this is exactly this portrait and not having a special value portrait and attracts most visitors.

The famous "Jocona" Leonardo da Vinci not only admires, but also scares people. In addition to assumptions, fiction, legends about the work itself and about the smile of Mona Lisa, there is a theory that this very famous portrait In the world, it is extremely negatively affecting the contemplating. For example, more than a hundred cases are officially registered when visitors who have long been a picture, lost consciousness.

Most famous case occurred S. french writer Standal, who during admiring a masterpiece fell into fainting. It is known that Mona Lisa herself, who posted the artist, died young, at the age of 28. And you great master Leonardo did not work on one of his creation for so long and carefully as over Joconda. For six years - until his death, Leonardo rewrote and ruled the picture, but until the end and did not achieve what he wanted.

The picture of Velasquez "Venus with a mirror" also used deservedly bad glory. All who bought it, or ruined, or died for a violent death. Even museums did not really like to include her main composition, and the picture constantly changed the "registration". The case ended in that one day a crazy visitor pounced on the canvas and cut it with a knife.

Another "damned" picture, which is widely known, the work of the California Surrealist artist "Hands Resist Him" \u200b\u200bis considered ("Hands resist Him") Bill Stonehem. The artist wrote it in 1972 with a photo on which he with his younger sister stands in front of his hometown.

In the picture, the boy with obscure features of the face and a doll in the growth of a lively girl froze before glass doorTo which small handles of children are pressed from the inside. With this picture connected many creepy stories. It all started with the fact that the first art historian who saw and appreciated the work, died suddenly.

Then I purchased a picture american actorwho also walked short. After his death, worked for a short time disappeared, but then she was accidentally found on the garbage. The family, which picked up a nightmare masterpiece, thought of hanging him in the nursery. As a result, a small daughter began to resort into the bedroom of parents every night and shout that the children were fighting in the picture and change the location. The father set the camera in the room reacting to movement, and overnight it worked several times.

Of course, the family hurried to get rid of such a gift of fate, and soon Hands Resist Him put on the Internet auction. And then the address of the organizers fell numerous letters with complaints to the fact that when viewing the picture, people became bad, and some even had heart attacks. I bought her owner of a private art gallery, and now the complaints come to his address. Two American exorcisists with proposals of their services even appealed to him. And psychics who saw the picture, in one voice, argue that evil comes from it.

Photo - the prototype of the painting "Hands resist Him":

There are several masterpieces of Russian painting, which also have sad stories. For example, a picture "Troika" known since the school is still known. At this touching and sad picture, three peasant children are depicted from poor families who pull heavy wear, catching in her the manner of harpful horses.

In the center there is a fair-haired little boy. Perov searched for a child for the painting, until he met a woman with a son of 12 years named Vasya, who walked through Moscow at the Bogomol.

Vasya remained the only consolation of the mother who buried her husband and other children. She first did not want her son to positive painting, but then agreed. However, soon after the completion of the picture, the boy died ... It is known that after the death of the son, a poor woman came to Perov, begging to sell her a portrait of her beloved child, but the picture was already hung in the Tretyakov Gallery. True, Perov responded to Mother's Mountain and the portrait of Vasi was written especially for her separately.

One of the brightest and extraordinary geniuses of Russian painting, Mikhail Vrubel, there are works with which are also connected personal tragedies The artist. So, the portrait of his adorable son Savva, was written by him shortly before the child's death. Moreover, the boy fell ill unexpectedly and died suddenly. And the "demon defeated" had a detrimental effect on the psyche and the health of the Vrubel himself.

The artist could not break away from the picture, everything continued adding the face of the defeated spirit, as well as to change the flavor. "Demon defeated" already hung at the exhibition, and Vrubel came to the hall, not paying attention to visitors, sat in front of the picture and continued to work as if obsessed.

The closest were concerned with his condition, and his famous Russian psychiatrist Behterev was examined. The diagnosis was terrible - dice of the spinal cord, close to madness and death. Vrubel was placed in the hospital, but the treatment helped poorly, and soon he died.

Interesting story Related to the painting "Maslenitsa", for a long time decorated with the Hall of Ukraine. Hang and hung, no one looked at her, while it did not even find out that the author of this work is the mentally ill via the name of the office, who copied the artist Antonov's cloth to his own way. Actually, there is nothing particularly terrible or outstanding in the painting of the mentally ill, but it excited the expanses of the Runet for half a year.

Picture of Antonov

Picture of Purple

One student in 2006 wrote a post about her on his blog. Its essence came down to the fact that, according to the professor of one of the Moscow universities, there is one hundred percent, but a non-obvious sign that is immediately clear that the artist is crazy. And even allegedly on this sign, you can immediately raise the correct diagnosis.

But, as a student wrote, a trick did not open a sign, but he gave foggy hints. And so, they say, people, help, who can, because I myself can not find, all I am angry and tired. What happened here - it is not difficult to imagine.

The post went throughout the network, many users rushed to look for a gueau and scold professors. The picture gained mad popularity, as well as the blog of the student, and the name of Professor. It was not possible to solve a riddle, and at the end, when everything was tired of this story, they decided:

1. There is no sign, and the professor specially "spread" students so that lectures do not stroll.
2. Professor - Psycho itself (even the facts were made that he was really treated abroad).
3. Coupulus associated himself with a snowman, which looms in the background of the painting, and this is the main mystery impendense.
4. There was no professor, and the whole story is a brilliant flashmob.

By the way, there were many original felling of this feature, but none of them was recognized correct. History gradually sued no, although now you can sometimes come across her echoes in RuNet. As for the painting, on some, it really produces a cracked impression and causes unpleasant sensations.

In the time of Pushkin, the portrait of Maria Lopukhina was one of the main "horror stories." The girl lived a short and unhappy life, and after writing a portrait died from Chathek. Her father Ivan Lopukhin was a famous mystic and magician Masonic lodge.

Therefore, rumors crawled, which he managed to lure the spirit of the dead daughter in this portrait. And that if the young girls look at the picture, they will die shortness. According to the salon gossip, the portrait of Mary destroyed at least ten nobles on the issuance ...

The end of rumors put the story of Tretyakov, who in 1880 bought a portrait for his gallery. There was no big mortality among visitors. Conversations and subsided. But the precipitate remained.

Dozens of people, one way or another, came to contact with the picture of Edward Minka "Creek", the cost of which experts are assessed at 70 million dollars, were exposed to evil rocks: they were sick, quarreled with loved ones, fell into severe depression or even suddenly died. All this created a picture of the unkind glory, so visitors to the museum with Ostaya looked at her, remembering terrible storieswho about the masterpiece told.

Once a museum employee inadvertently dropped the picture. After some time, terrible headaches began. I must say that before this case, he had no idea what a headache is. Migraine seizures became more and more acute, and it ended the fact that the poor fellow committed suicide.

Another time, the work museum dropped the picture when it was outweigh from one wall to another. A week later, he fell into a nightmarish car accident, as a result of which he had broken legs, hands, a few ribs, he got a fracture of the pelvis and the strongest concussion of the brain.

One of the visitors to the museum was trying to touch the picture with his finger. A few days later he had a fire in his house, in which this man burned alive alive.

The life of Edward Mukka himself, born in 1863, was a series of endless tragedies and shocks. Diseases, the death of relatives, madness. His mother died from tuberculosis when the child was 5 years old. After 9 years, the favorite sister of Edward Sophia died from severe illness. Then the brother Andreas died, and his younger sister Doctors diagnosed "schizophrenia".

In the early 90s, Munk survived a heavy nervous breakdown and for a long time Passed with electric shock. He never married, because the thought of sex led him to horror. Died at the age of 81, leaving the city of Oslo as a gift creative heritage: 1200 paintings, 4500 sketches and 18 thousand graphic work. But the vertex of his work remains, of course, "Creek".

Dutch artist Peter Bruegel Sr. wrote "worship of Magi" for two years. Mary Maria he "sketched" with his cousin. That was a woman fruitless, for which he received constant tumaki from her husband. It is she, as shuffled by simple medieval Netherlands, "infected" the picture. Four times "Volkhvov" bought private collectors. And each time the same story was repeated: in the family of 10-12 years old children were not born ...

Finally, in 1637, the picture of Jacob Van Campen bought the picture. He had already had three children by that time, so the curse was not much scarecrow.

The most, probably, the famous bad picture of the Internet space with the following story: A certain schoolgirl (often refer to Japanese) Before opening the veins (throw away from the window, to bite the pills, hang, get drowned in the bathroom) drew this picture.

If you look at it for 5 minutes in a row, the girl will change (eyes flush, the hair is black, the fangs will appear). In fact, it is clear that the picture is painted clearly not from hand as many love to say. Although such a picture no more clear answers appeared.

The next picture is modestly hanging without a frame in one of Vinnitsa's shops. "Woman of rain" is the most expensive of all works: worth 500 dollars. According to sellers, they already bought the picture three times, and then returned. Customers explain that she dreams of them. And someone even says, as if he knows this lady, but where does not remember. And all who at least once looked into her white eyes, forever remember the feeling of rainy day, silence, anxiety and fear.

Where did you come from unusual pictureShe told her author - Vinnitsa Artist Svetlana Taurus. "In 1996, I finished the Odessa Art University. Grekova, - remembers Svetlana. "And for six months before the birth of" Women ", it seemed to me all the time that someone was watching me.

I drove such thoughts from myself, and then in one of the days, by the way, not at all rainy, sat in front of a clean canvas and thought what to draw. And suddenly clearly saw the outlines of a woman, her face, colors, shades. In an instant, all the details of the image noticed. The main wrote quickly - watched five hours.
It seemed my hand someone drove. And then another month of Dorovaloval. "

Arriving in Vinnitsa, Svetlana put the picture at the local art salon. It was also a matter of the matter of art and were shared by the same thoughts that they had the most during their time.

"It was interesting to observe," the artist says, "how subtle it can materialize the thought and inspire it to other people."

A few years ago, the first buyer appeared. A lonely businessman walked for a long time, looked after. Having bought a "woman," hanged her in his bedroom.
Two weeks in the apartment Svetlana rang out night bell: "Please take it. I can not sleep. It seems that in the apartment, besides me, someone is. I even removed her from the wall, hid behind the cabinet, but I still can not. "

Then the second buyer appeared. Then the picture bought a young man. And also could not stand long. He himself brought her artist. And even money back did not take. "She dreams of her," he complained. - Here, every night appears and the shadow goes around me. I'm crazy started to go crazy. I'm afraid of this picture!

The third buyer, having learned about the bad glory of the "Women", only dismissed. Even said that the face of an ominous lady seems lovely to him. And she probably sees with him. Did not get along.
"I first did not notice what kind of white eyes he had," he recalled. - And then they began to appear everywhere. Headaches began, unfortunate excitement. And I need it?!

So the "Woman of Rain" returned to the artist again. In the city, the crooks rushed around that this picture was cursed. For one night can be crazy. The artist is already not glad that he wrote such a horror.

However, light does not lose optimism yet:
- Each picture appears for a particular person. I believe that there will be the one for whom "Woman" wrote. Someone is looking for her - just like she.

When it comes to painting, imagination, as a rule, draws pastoral and majestic portraits. But actually art multifaceted.

Italian scientists said they found the remains that could belong to Lisa del Jokondo. Perhaps the mystery of the "Mona Lisa" will be disclosed. In honor of this remember the most mysterious paintings in history.

1. Joconda
The first thing comes to mind when it comes to mysterious paintingsah, either about the paintings-riddles is "Mona Lisa", written by Leonardo da Vinci in 1503-1505. Gryuye wrote that this picture can be crazy anyone who, after seeing plenty of her, will begin to lead about her conversations.
"Mysfots" in this work da Vinci find a lot. Art historians write dissertations at the inclination of the hands of Mona Lisa, medical professionals are diagnosed (from such that Jokonda has no front teeth to such that Mona Lisa is a man). There is even a version that Jocona is a self-portrait of the artist.
By the way, the picture acquired a special popularity only in 1911, when it was stolen by the Italian Vincenzo Perugia. Found it on fingerprint. So "Mona Lisa" also became the first success of Dactyloscopy, and the enormous success of the marketing of the art market.

2. Black square


Everyone knows that "black square" is not really black, and not square. This is really no square. In the catalog to the exhibition, he was declared Malevich as a "quadrangle". And really not black. The artist did not use black paint.
Less is known that Malevich considered "black square" with his bEST WORK. When the artist was buried, "Black Square" (1923) stood in the head of the coffin, the Malevich's body was covered with a white canvas with a squeezed square, the black square was drawn on the coffin lid. Even on the train and the bodies of the truck, black squares were depicted.

3. Creek

With the picture "Creek" mysteriously not that it allegedly influences people, forcing them almost to commit suicide, but the fact that this picture is essentially realism for Edward Minka, who at the time of writing this masterpiece suffered from manic Depressive psychosis. He even recalled exactly how he saw what he wrote.
"I walked along the path with two friends - the sun was sitting - unexpectedly the sky became bloody-red, I suspended, feeling exhausted, and leaned about the fence - I looked at the blood and flame languages \u200b\u200bover a bluish-black fiior form and the city - my friends went on, And I stood, trembling excitement, feeling an endless cry, piercing nature. "

5. Ivan the Terrible and Son of His Ivan
