Art is something that puts humans on top of all creations. Here are the best works of art from the world’s top artists, which spanned several years and different generations:
10. Composition 8 by Vasily Kandinsky
Those who favor abstract works of art will definitely love this one. A beautiful mix of lines and shapes – that’s what this painting really is.
9. The Last Supper
Painted by Leonardo da Vinci, the Last Supper isn’t just one of his greatest masterpieces. It is also one of the most influential paintings of all time.
8. American Gothic
Painted by Grant Wood, this became the epitome of not just the cultures and values of the Midwestern Americans. Eventually, it became an icon for the whole of America.
7. Guernica by Pablo Picasso
All of Pablo Picasso’s creations became a classic. This painting by Picasso was huge enough to embody everything in it – humans, animals, monsters, and buildings, painted on a black-and-white, abstract-looking panel.
6. The Birth of Venus
Another highly acclaimed artist is Sandro Botticelli. And this painting is one of his most magnificent creations as it depicts the real beauty of a woman.
5. No. 5 by Jackson Pollock
This is yet another obscure and abstract work of art that only the artist can talk about. But even so, it sold for around $140 million to an anonymous buyer.
4. Water Lilies by Claude Monet
Beauty is always in the eyes of the beholder. Look through this Monet painting and you’ll find something else that isn’t there.
3 Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh
In the eyes of a physically challenged man, it’s almost impossible how he can perfectly create a very peaceful night in the streets of France.
2. The Pieta by Michelangelo
More than being the painter of the famed Sistine Chapel, Michelangelo is also a sculptor. And one of his greatest works is the Pieta, which shows a grief-stricken Mother Mary with the body of the crucified Jesus Christ on her lap.
1. Mona Lisa
This very simple painting of one of the world’s greatest artists, Leonardo da Vinci, has moved a lot of people all over the world. The mysterious smile of the model remained just that – mysteriously beautiful just like she is.
