20 paintings that everyone should know (story of painting) Updated: November 23, 2016 by the author: website

It turns out that these pictures of some famous artists hide other images. Sometimes, if you carefully look at, then they are visible to the naked eye. But more often, art historians are found during the study of the webs of well-known masters or restorers working on the restoration of the canvas. In our review, six more interesting cases when the pictures were hidden in themselves.

Responding to the question of hidden paintings, scientists note that the reasons for their appearance on the well-known canvases are different. Sometimes the artist simply did not like the initial option, sometimes the picture had to redraw because of public opinion, and it happened that the artists turned out to be in a distinguished financial situation, could not afford to buy a new canvas, and for their new works used old ones.

1. Bust of the monarch in the picture of Jean Owysto Engra

In the left side of the French Neoclassical Artist of Engra, "Portrait of Jacques Mark, Baron de Montbreton de Norsen" (1811-12), which shows the police chief in Rome after the conquest of the city of Napoleon, even the naked eye of the Child's head bust can be seen. It is believed that this is a bust of the head of the son of Napoleon, whom the Father proclaimed the King of Rome. In 1814, when Napoleon finally suffered and renounced the throne, Engrus painted the picture on political reasons, and wrote a new one on top of her.

2. Woman in Picasso Picture "Old Guitarist"

Pablo Picasso in 1901-1904 was a difficult period when he had no money even to buy new materials for work. Often he booted old canvases and used them to create new pictures. One of the most famous examples of a penimension in the works of Picasso is the painting "Old guitarist", on which the painted figure of a woman was discovered.

Art historians and have previously noticed a fuzzy contour behind the curved neck of a guitarist, but only a transpision picture of X-rays managed to identify the old image of a woman who feeds a small child, and a bull and sheep are depicted next to them.

3. Bearded man in the picture Picasso "Blue Room"

On the painting Picasso "Blue Room", written in 1901, also lies the secret revealed recently with infrared optical tomography. If you put a picture vertically, a certain bearded with many rings on your fingers is found under the paint layer.

4. Strafelka on the picture of John Singer Sargen "Portrait of Madame X"

"Portrait of Madame X", which is exposed to the Metropolitan Museum, is considered an icon of style due to simple black clothes depicted on it the ladies, its statist figure and inadvertent expression. Nevertheless, in due time, this portrait was considered a scandalous insult to adventure and very negatively affected the artist's career in Europe.

Woman in the portrait - famous Parisian beautiful beauty Virgini Gotro. The pallor of her skin, which was considered a bearer of beauty at that time, prompted one modern criticism to call the skin tint of the skin "Corpene". This effect was achieved thanks to the admission of arsenic. Also, Gotro tapping hair henna for greater contrast. Sarjent for underscounted by unusual beauty Gotro portrayed it in a black dress, one of the strandels of which flirtary fell on the shoulder.

When the portrait was first exhibited in the Paris Salon, the public exploded with indignation, since the semi-handed strap was found very obscene. As a result, Sarjent rewrote this detail of the dress, raising her on his shoulder.

5. Woman at the window

In the National Gallery in London in the process of restoring the web of the 1500s of the unknown artist, an unusual "makeup" was discovered. It turned out that the blonde in the picture is actually a brunette, and her hair color was rewritten by an artist over the original. Today the picture was restored in the original condition and posted in the National Gallery.

6. Whale on the picture of Hendrik Wang Antonissen "Beach Scene"

When this Dutch painting of the seventeenth century was donated to the Fitzulyam Museum, it was shown simply a beach scene. Nevertheless, art historians were perplexed why the crowd was depicted in the picture, gathered near the water without visible reasons. After restoration under the layer of paint, a whale image was discovered, thrown ashore. As they believed, the whale is painted from aesthetic considerations in the 18th or 19th centuries.

Connoisseurs of painting will be interesting to learn about.

For many, it seems an impossible task to remember artists and their paintings. Hundreds of years, the story entered the names of many artists whose names for hearing, unlike pictures. How to remember the feature of the artist and his style? We have prepared a brief description for those who want to understand visual art:

If people are depicted in pictures with big ass, be sure it is Rubbins

If the picture contains multifigure compositions, many people, objects, Christian and surreal motifs are Bosch

If the picture contains multifigure compositions and complex plots, but they look more realistic than Bosch's paintings, be sure it is a Bruegel.

the conversation on how different artists depict the same theme.
Danar: Two paintings on how white on the ships fled from the Bolshevik Russia.

a) Ivan Vladimirov (1869-1947). "Flight of the bourgeoisie from Novorossiysk" (1926)

b) Dmitry Belyukin (r. 1962). "White Russia. Exodus". 1992-4

Which of them historically correctly depicts an event? Which of these artists should believe? - argue commentators.

Here let's look at the example of them (as well as other paintings) we will analyze what is generally "truth" in the paintings, and who should believe.
As it turned out, some do not understand.

So, to enjoy the meaning of the work of art, his story, etc. (and not only separately aesthetic perfection, harmony), it is quite useful to understand what was TARGETthe artist who created this work.

1) express yourself
(Summary, admirement of loved things)

I put it in the first place in the list, because in 20-21 century this goal for artists is felt by the public (and the artists themselves, perhaps) as a priority.

The society during this period was such a rich, such an excess of resources was formed that the art could be engaged in a huge number of people, and professionals, and non-professionals. Everyone who just likes to draw (write poems, music, make pictures in instagram, etc.). Saving, as I know how to sculpt dumplings / draw clowns / stitching, etc., what I am beautiful, and my children, and my yacht.

However, when using works of absolutely any kind of arts inside (painting, literature, etc.), be sure to remember that this freedom, this goal, is an idea of \u200b\u200bart as an "artist's instagrammer" is an achievement that has become available to the creators only The newest time. In the previous centuries, the further - the stronger, such a position was unacceptable, licentiousness, was perceived as a vanity fair. In no case, looking at the works of "old masters", do not judge them from the position "he did it, because he wanted so much." Of course, I would not want - he would not do, but about the era of impressionism it "wanted" woves in the list of objectives when creating a work of art very, very in the tail. Do not judge by yourself, from the position of a person of the 21st century.

2) express their inner demons
(or erotic fantasies)

But this, on the contrary, the classic goal of art, one of the oldest.
The first public goal of creating art, most likely, was religious (shamanism for a good hunt for mammoth, funeral rituals, etc.), but the individual, personal goal of the first authors probably also to express their emotions, fears, dreams.

But here is a very important feature that distinguishes the person of the modern time - and the person of the past, artist of modernism (this is starting with impressionists) - Again, the degree of freedom of expression of these fantasies.

Reproach avant-garde and contemporary art for the fact that they are incomprehensible and not realistic - not worth it; It happened to them, because life itself in the twentieth century globally changed. Here, look, a sexy revolution happened, and it became possible to walk through the streets in almost one shorts, and even without panties. Well, the art - how to react to it for it, to react, to do everything that you want to do? Women without panties in art are completely free, artists have been drawing five hundred years, you will not surprise anyone. So the sex revolution in the visual arts was expressed in a refusal of realism, naturopodobios; Actually, from all the rules of the visual art, the previous five hundred years invented. This is a completely normal reaction of artists on what globally happened in society in general. What are they, red, stay decent when everyone around do what do they want?

So, remember, the artist of the former centuries, expressing his demons, had clear boundaries imposed on him by society. And in order to express it, he needed to find the right, vested niche percentage (society), a decent niche.
As a rule, these were all sorts of horrors of religious art.

In the case of erotic fantasies, it was easier - they were not published by art (with the exception of the frank porn, as well as the too realistic little things like pubic hair).

Freedom begins to appear as the personality of the author, individuality, when the artist ceases to feel his craftsman and becomes a "poet". So at the end of the 18th century we receive Miragei Goya, William Blake, Fusli, etc., all romanticism. And so individuality was not always encouraged, for example, on medieval religious art, put the author's signature into some epochs was simply indecent (so we know so few masters of these eras).

In general, you should not measure on my own, you have to try to interpolate.

3) Money

Also an old goal of creating a work is similarly extremely popular.
Very, very decent goal. It is she who makes the artists still finish their work to the end, because otherwise the customer will not pay, it is her who makes people get up from the furnace and look for a job to feed the kids, improve their skills and not turn into UG.
Because the market always dictates (dictated), and nobody bought bad paintings.

(Imagine, no matter how cool, if Leonardo da Vinci paid only in fact, yes, he would still be a 10-year warranty? He would applied his sharp mind to the issues of preservation, and before us would have come much more .. . But alas, he managed to pump his personal brand, and he paid simply for the name).

But again, you must understand the difference between the artist-modernist and "old master". The economy has changed very much, and it affects. Economy and technical progress. The creation of the picture was primarily craft, work, and not the flight of the thought of genius. Take the architecture, it is more unchanged in this sense: here you decide to build a mansion. They went to the architect, expressed their wishes, signed a contract. He drew a sketch, approved, built a brick house, separated marble, paid the architect, then apply a home for the purpose. The same pain painting was: 1311, the community of the Cathedral decided to order an altar image, say Duccho, expressed wishes, signed a contract at points. Dutcho takes an expensive wooden board, perfectly prepared, and even a huge size and complex shape. Paints: Pucked lazuli, soft blue, brought from India, and he stands hellish money; The gilding is also somehow not cheap, etc.

Normal architect in the middle of the construction of the mansion will not inspire the concept, because he is the author, the Creator, he wanted so much, he knows that this banquet is not at his expense. The artist, too, was obliged to simply fulfill his work well, pass the order on time (modern designers will now understand. And let them envy: in those days there were no Emeyov, so no one could often ask to "play fonts").

The art market has long walked to our usual cinema meeting today: when such a brilliant artist is sitting in the workshop, headed by his chic paintings. Here, a friend comes to him and leads his rich American friends who are delighted: "And we take it, and that's it, and that's what you have, wrap!".
Before that there was another stage, which can be compared with the architecture, but with cakes. Here you have a home bakery and money for raw materials for 10 cakes. Specific customers who have signed a contract for your cakes are not, but you know that in principle people go to you. You will not make 20 cakes, because so many buyers do not reach you. You must sell everything that baked, otherwise you will not have money for the purchase of new raw materials. You see, the paints cost expensive, the canvas cost expensive (but cheaper than old-fashioned wood, in the next. It will tell in detail), remove the workshop - expensive. In the 17th century in Holland, why are the still "small dutch" written still lifes, household scenes and landscapes? Because the country has become very prosperous, and every local resident could afford (and allowed) to come to the "shop of finished paintings" and choose a beauty on the wall. Accordingly, there was a very thick layer of artists serving these burghers.

Well, finally, in the 19th century, the way of life of the artist appears, which seems to us by the housing: with a bunch of canvas written "in the table" that would be good to sell, but it can not, still find that it is possible to eat, and let it hang on the walls non-sold.
I do not specify the social, ideological, psychological aspects, only about the economy.
The artists sought to Paris not only because there was cool to stupid, but also because the middle of their service was formed in the city: traders in paints and canvas (ordered in bulk, so sell cheaper), a lot of mansard leased, the simulators are purposefully coming to earnings, Buyers are purposefully coming to buy and so on.
Today it is generally so cheap that anyone can do art, but to earn quite different (perhaps, so we have so much garbage in the end?)

So, to understand why the picture is drawn, try to understand this in terms of money - the artist wrote her for a specific order? Just for the sale of burghers, on the table (because it rolls on it), as a gift mom or what?

4) Glory
(and conjugate)

Also a very understandable motive. True, not very ancient, remember this. The artists began to be guided by the goal of obtaining glory when creating works of art only starting from a certain period (just fame, and not a reputation + many clients). In the Middle Ages, as I said, painting was just craft, the same as a jewelry or furniture. In the Epoch of the Renaissance, artists begin to raise their heads and gradually, the forces of the writing the writing of the intelligentsia (for example, Vazari), create a cult around their classes, turning it from crafts into art. Signing your names becomes the norm. Gradually (slowly) to be an artist becomes cool (although higher society still does not particularly accept them). A similar process with acting - at all times it is the lowest service personnel, which is forbidden to bury in consecrated land and are regarded along with the harlot; Now they became the Celebriti of the royal rank.

In general, in the work of many artists there are software works that the author wrote without a specific order from the patronage, and simply because inspiration came to him. Created by him, he clearly understood (well, at least I was hoping) that he "smelted" will become famous for them. If the stars agree, and in the picture it was possible to connect aesthetics (beauty) with this elusive, twisted in the air, the picture begins to grow. And really enters the story as a masterpiece. (Attention, children: Masterpiece - this is not synonymous with the words "picture", the artist for life can write 200 cloths and only 1 masterpiece, and it will be remembered only because of it).

Written a few months after the depicted event.

Great artists are just those who can draw well (anatomically correctly, harmoniously combine colors, etc.) + at the same time he feels the spirit of time, and can reflect it. Therefore, it can be a lot of good drawers, but little truly great masters (even in Renaissance). Some finds only 1 time in life, and they create this "outstanding masterpiece" (for example, the "unequal marriage" of Pukireva, or). Others, like David or Repin, will constantly produce such lines. No need to think that the artist sits on a chair and says "Now I am a painting masterpiece and they will deserve a glory." So it, of course, does not work. Artists (writers, musicians) of this high category mastery of masterpieces are born due to the combination of excellent innate abilities, permanent exercises (skill pumping). And also due to incredibly developed intuition. And intuition, as is known, pumping out if you repeat anything a million times, then the brain makes a sharp high-quality jump, and begins to issue results quickly and spontaneously. And the author of the result it seems that the brain does not actually have done the brain, it went down from the sky - it was invented that the expression was invented that the author visited Muse.

In general, artists of this levela write pictures not for the sake of glory, and not to get rid of their demons, but for more complex reasons. They become like a radio receiver who captures the expectations of the surrounding society, as well as the surrounding public public, the style that is now fashionable and so on. - And they manage to pour it all on the canvas, passing through yourself.
So it turns out a masterpiece.
Record, do not try to repeat at home.

And here, in this category of purposes, more practical artists should be included, which consciously catch the wave, radio signals sent by the society (but first of all by the state). And they produce paintings not to become famous (and enter the history of the arts), and more in order to live well and have any nishtyaki. In some cases, such a conjurement, Rolapiege is a personal choice of the author, or in general, the norm for that era (see ODD Derzhavin, dedicated to the Empress). In the 20th century, in the conditions of totalitarian states, as you understand, the question was not only in obtaining money, and sometimes trite in survival. But, as the numerous psychological studies of all Stockholm syndromes show, the most terrible that people, including artists, begin to sincerely believe and glorify. So remain a cold-blooded conjurer in such conditions - perhaps, not such a bad version, eh?

5) Sermon

And so, the most patient and intelligent of my readers who have come to this place of my sheets, now that you understand the fundamental, basic goals, we got to the one that is associated with two pictures about White in the Crimea, from which this text began.

This goal of artwork is to express the ideas of the author, his idea of \u200b\u200bthe world, about what is right and wrong. Let's miss the first couple of thousand years, everything is simple: this is when the artist believed in the gods, and then in God, and expressed his faith, a prayer, creating an "icon", a milean image, and thus comprehending the Lord. Good icon painters and today continue to do it. We also need a new time when it becomes possible to preach art not only faith. Above, I wrote that starting with Renaissance artists gradually turn into the consciousness of the public from artisans in the creators, their figures are romanticized. Artists become personalities, Ceboribritis, most importantly - as in her head too; They decide that they are arbitrators of opinions and should teach people the truth, to preach. (Why not? The main thing is to taste, but not at all it turns out).

So, the mission appears in art.
(By the way, about what goals are from art, we must talk separately - they do not match the objectives of artists at all).

And here you understand what kind of thing. It is one thing when artists with a powerful school standing on the shoulders of giants were engaged in the "preaching". And then these works of the 19th century are sometimes annoyed, Moralized Morally changed, and the story presented all sorts of lessons.
But in the 20th century, for some reason, artists - Vasilyev, Glazunov, Rygenko, Nesterenko, Glazunov, Rugby, Nesterenko, especially loved this, and if walking on this list from the very beginning, then an interesting situation is obtained. The theme of my beloved (cats, children) they are not interested - finely, they pull them to global accomplishments. They have no demons and erotic fantasies either they are not at all interesting (and this immediately deprives the work of the peppercorn, see Konstantin Vasilyev, who, unlike other things, the listed still has its own fetishes, and how it positively stands out, makes a special, memorized ).
