But the essence lies not in the pathetic swallowing "mark of performance" - on these canvases depicted wisdom, subtlety, individuality, success, greatness, work ... The sacred meaning is concluded in the paintings of great artists, and the one who is able to consider him are truly educated. Then we will discuss the top ten most famous paintings in the world. This list is not a rating or its likeness - only with a small span of that universe whose name is art.
1. Mona Lisa (Leonardo da Vinci)
Perhaps there are little civilized people in the world (if not talking about wild tribes in the original places of the planet), who do not know what the Mona Lisa Brush Lisa Lisa looks like, and even more so - those who have not heard about this famous picture. She is located in Louvre (Paris). By his fame, Mona Lisa is obliged to be a fatal event - at the beginning of the last century, the picture was abducted by one of the employees of this museum. For two years, the entire world press tirelessly spoke about this case. Another interesting point, worthy of many years of worldwide discussions, is a smile of Jokonda. In addition, there are even sayings that the young man is depicted in the picture.
2. Last Supper (Leonardo da Vinci)
The Last Supper is one of the best paintings of world art. If the previous web was kidnapped from the museum and was lost from the field of vision of the public for two years, then this picture has a truly tragic past. It is a fresco located in one of the Milan monasteries. The Last Supper was an ornament of the building even at a time when it served as a weapon, prison, was subjected to bombardments. The fresco was restored at least five times. It shows Jesus with its twelve students located at the table. The picture is of great importance not only for world art, but also for religion - Orthodoxy in particular.
3. Sicstinskaya Madonna (Rafael Santi)
Contemporary Leonardo, yes Honey was Rafael Santi, who wrote one of the most famous paintings - Sisikstinsky Madonna. It is noteworthy that not a wood board was used as a "platform" as in the overwhelming majority in painting of that time, and the canvas. The second point is its size: 265x196 centimeters. A huge picture, handmade, the finest details (for example, the back background of the paintings is complicated from the angels, who are initially taken for the clouds) - the same gigantic work! The canvas depicts Madonna with a baby, surrounded by Saint Sict and St. Barbarian. It is known that his beloved (for the main character), Dad, Julius and the artist's niece (for two other characters, respectively) were known to the sequences for the Sistine Madonna.
4. Night Watch (Rembrandt)
"Night Watch" is one of the most famous paintings of Rembrandt. Initially, this work was called quite different. However, art historical figures, who discovered it for about two centuries ago, thought that the action was going on at night, and the cloth received its current name.

5. Star Night (Vincent Van Gogh)
Pattern Van Gogh "Starry Night" became the property of contemporary art. Interesting the fact that the artist wrote this work on memory, although he, and many other artists preferably write from nature - something or someone. It is also interesting that at this time the artist was in a psychiatric hospital, because he suffered from the attacks of madness. That's how a madman-artist wrote a global masterpiece, so he practically created a new direction in the visual arts, so he perpetuated his name. And the light saw not little crazy and insane, which turned out to be geniuses. And the world continues to laugh at madmen!
6. Constancy of memory (Salvador Dali)
"The constancy of memory" is one of the most famous works of El Salvador. There is a picture in the New York Museum of Contemporary Art. In the continuation of crazy and geniuses, it is worth saying that the idea for writing work at the artist appeared when ... the form of a melted cheese! Associations that the product caused from Dali, prompted the artist to set out its ideas on the cloth in this form. In this public, Dali admitted personally, even without trying to hide a kind of weirdness, pushing him to writing a picture. And, who returned in the evening on the day of writing a canvas with a movie, Salvador's beloved, prophetically stated that anyone who once sees the "constancy of memory", it will never be able to forget him.
7. Birth of Venus (Sandro Botticelli)
Among the most famous paintings of the world - "Birth of Venus" Sandro Botticelli. The canvas is located in an equally famous gallery of the Uffusion, which is in Florence.

On the shore, the grace awaits her, getting ready to hide the goddess of the Mantia. Botticelli used egg yolk as a protective layer of the picture, so that it was perfectly preserved to this day.
8. Ninth Val (Ayvazovsky)

9. Impression. Rising Sun (Claude Monet)
The cloth of Claude Monet "Impression. The ascending Sun "stored in the Paris Museum marked the beginning of a whole direction of painting - impressionism. This work was born early in the morning at one of the old French Avantports, as clear, from nature. Clone Monet, using all his skills, tried to portray the fleeting sense of pleasure from one single moment, which is the essence of impressionism, which began to develop in subsequent years.

The photo was rejected by the editor of the magazine "Revolution", and it was upset by Cord, convinced of this work. He covered the picture, printed it in several copies, one hung at home on the wall, and the rest crossed his friends. Since this all started. By the way, Cord never asked royalty payments for the use and replication of this photo, but was against the commercial use of the image of Che. Especially in advertising of those goods that the Comandante never supported.

In the course of research and collecting material to the "Green Eyes" project, the photographer Steve McCurry photographed a Afghan girl, which, as it turned out 17 years later, name is Sharbat Gula. A snapshot of frightened beauty-refugees with wide eyes in 1985 became the cover of National Geographic and after some time became the world-famous symbol of the Afghan conflict and refugee suffering worldwide. Now the photo is also called the "Afghan Mona Liza". By that time, when the National Geographic team still found the Sharbat, she was already about thirty, she returned to his native Afghanistan and never before the meeting with NG had not seen this photo and did not know about his worldwide fame.
A shot of Robert Capa (Robert Capa), made on September 5, 1936, has long been a symbol of bloody and ruthless Spanish civil war.

The photo is very emotional, dramatic, fixed a terrible moment - therefore it has instantly gained popularity, but at the same time the doubts of the society. And now almost no one doubts that the cult frame was produced. First, he was not made on the site of battles, but a few kilometers from him.

And this snapshot is not setting, and for more than 40 years, people have been looking at the endless execution of the Vietkigoven Nguyen Van Lem, by General Nguy Ngok Loan. Photographer Eddie Adams (Eddie Adams) fixed the events of thirteen wars, but this most famous photo remains this, made on February 1, 1968. For which he still had to apologize. The snapshot instantly scattered on newspapers and news agencies, they spoke about it all in the States, many with reproach and indignation - too scary what is on it. Eddie assured that this was not a planned frame that it was something like a reflex, and he didn't even know what he was removed until she showed the film. And showing, I realized that it was impossible to grind it. But later he wrote in Time: "The general killed the Vietkrug, I killed the general with my camera. Photos are still the most powerful weapon in the world. People believe them, but the photos are lygut, not even having such intentions. They are true only half. Photography did not say "What would you do if you were this general at that time and in that place on that hot day when you caught the so-called bad guy, after he blew up one, two or three Americans?" When General Nguyen was still alive, Adams brought him and his family apologies for that irreparable damage that the general had inflicted this photo.
Another world-famous photograph of the Vietnamese War is not so ambiguous as the previous one. This is a symbol of horror and suffering of innocent people falling "under the distribution" along with the military. A snapshot made by the South Names photographer, nickname, demonstrates people running from Nalalm, who spill the South Names armed forces on the village. The logical center of the composition is a naked girl who screams from horror and pain. This is a nine-year-old Kim Fuk, she has terrible burns of the third degree on his back and behind the legs, and she is trying to escape. Having taken a picture, Nick picked up the girl and took her and other wounded children to the hospital. Doctors were sure that she would not survive, but after 14 months of staying in the hospital and 17 operations Kim Fuk became almost healthy. The photographer constantly visited her and in the hospital and after her discharge, until he left Sairon three years later. Kim alive and now, she devoted life to medicine and help to the victims of wars. Sometimes she gives an interview and participates in a talk show: "Napalm is the most terrible pain that you can imagine. Water boils with 100 degrees, and the temperature of Napalm from 800 to 1200. Forgiveness freed me from hatred. I still have many scars on the body, and I have a strong pain almost constantly, but my heart is clean. Napalm is strong, but faith, forgiveness and love is much stronger. We would not have wars at all, if everyone could understand how to live with true love, hope and forgiveness. If that little girl in the photo was able to ask himself, can you and you? "
Photo-symbol of opposition to the power of weapons and the strength of the human spirit. A single person came out in front of the tank column next to Tiananmen Square in Beijing during the riots in June 1989. In his hands, he had two ordinary plastic packages, which he shook tanks when they stopped. The first tank made an attempt to drive around a man, but he again stood on his way. After several unsuccessful attempts to drive it around, the tanks were drowned by the engines, and the commander of the first talked to the tricky peacemaker. Then I tried to drive around again, and the man again got up before the tank. Four photographers captured this moment, but a world-famous photo was a picture of Jeff Widner (Jeff Widener), for a long time formerly prohibited in China. The man did not manage to identify, but it was included with the Time magazine in the list of the 100 most important people of the twentieth century.
This shocking photo not only shows the suffering of children in Sudan during the famine of 1993, but also tells the story of the moral sufferings of the photographer who has taken a picture. Kevin Carter (Kevin Carter) received a Pulitzer Prize for this photo, and in two months he launched the exhaust gases of his car into the salon. A little exhausted girl crawling towards the camp of humanitarian aid, stopped to relax, and at that time a hungry vulture was spicked at the glade and walked in circles waiting for the child's death. Kevin was waiting for 20 minutes before the frame became quite successful for him. And only then the vulture was driven, and the girl crawled on. A wave of criticism and the most prestigious journalistic premium collapsed on the crankcase. But he could not live with a variety of financial problems, with what he saw in Sudan, and with what he himself participated. In July 1994, he committed suicide.
The most famous kiss in the world was removed by Albert Eysenstadt on Times Square during the celebration of the Victory Day over Japan on August 14, 1945. In the course of crowded noisy guises, Eisenstadt did not have time to ask the names of the heroes of the picture, and therefore they remained unknown for a long time. Only in 1980 it was possible to establish that the nurse in the photo was Shane. But the name of the sailor is still a mystery - 11 people stated that they were, but could not prove it. This is what Eisenstadt told about the moment of shooting: "I saw a sailor running down the street and grabs any girl who was in the field of his view. Whether she was an old woman or young, thicker or thin, he was without a difference. I fled to him with my "watering" looking back over my shoulder, but I didn't like one photo. Then suddenly I saw how he grabbed someone in white. I turned around and removed the moment when the sailor kissed the nurse. If she had been dressed in the dark, I would never take a picture of them. Like if the sailor was in white uniform. I made 4 photos in a few seconds, but only one satisfied me. "
