monalisa.jpg

Mona Lisa, or La Gioconda (La Joconde), by Leonardo da Vinci, is the most famous painting in the world. Leonardo took the painting from Italy to France in 1516 when King François I invited the painter to work at the Clos Lucé near the king’s castle in Amboise. The King bought the painting for 4,000 écus and kept it at Fontainebleau, where it remained until moved by Louis XIV. It hangs now in the Musée du Louvre, Paris.

Der Kuss (1907-1908)

Der Kuss (The Kiss) by Gustav KLIMT (1862-1918), the great Austrian Symbolist painter, is perhaps the most important work of his ‘Golden Phase’.

Klimt’s early work was typical academic painting. But, in 1897, he was one of the founding members of the ‘Vienna Secession’: this painting school revolted against academic art and defended a highly decorative style.

Bacchus

Michelangelo Merisi da CARAVAGGIO, Bacchus (c. 1596).
Uffizi, Florence.

This picture was painted by the Italian artist Caravaggio (1571-1610), who is placed in what we call “the Baroque School”. Bacchus, who is represented here, is the Roman god of wine, who also inspires and cultivates creativity in the arts. He is the same as the Greek god Dionysos.
