Famous Artists' Landscape Paintings đ
Imagine if your phone’s wallpaper was hand-paintedâcenturies ago! Some artists who rocked landscapes:
Landscape paintings may capture mountains, valleys, bodies of water, fields, forests, and coasts and may or may not include man-made structures as well as people. Although paintings from the earliest ancient and Classical periods included natural scenic elements, landscape as an independent genre did not emerge in the Western tradition until the Renaissance in the 16th century. In the Eastern tradition, the genre can be traced back to 4th-century.
- Claude Monet â His water lilies are mood.

- Nicholas Roerich â Painted the Himalayas better than your Instagram filter ever could!landscape painting, the depiction of natural scenery in art.Â

8 of the Most Famous Modern Art Artists
1.Vincent van Gogh
Being practically synonymous with modernism Vincent van Goghâs genius lies in his signature brushwork. Combined with vivid colors, the portrayals of his subject matter were, at the time, considered entirely unorthodox
2.Claude Monet
an unequivocal master of recreating scenes bathed in natural light who earned his moniker of âthe father of Impressionismâ in a completely well-deserved manner. Claude Monetâs works, much like van Goghâs, garnered mainstream acceptance only after his death.
3.Pablo Picasso
Undeniably, another instantly recognizable master of his craft, Pablo Picasso, is known for ushering in Cubism as the dominant modernist art school at the outset of the twentieth century. Picassoâs work took the world by storm thanks to his deliberate and unique use of geometrically imperfect, distorted lines and shapes, which reimagined how artists perceived dimensions and perspectives. The works of Pablo Picasso perfectly encapsulate the essence of modern art: self-expression through wild experimentation and deviation from the norm.
4.Paul CĂŠzanne
an almost contrite level of respect toward the old, combined with an embrace and willingness to adapt to the new â places CĂŠzanne among the most important modern art artists.
5.Salvador Dali
Salvador Dali, known for his strikingly baffling imagery, is considered a spearheading figure.The eccentricity of his art certainly makes it a bit harder to approach. fantastical elements embedded in his paintings captivated the world and cemented Dali as a central yet intriguing artist.
6.Marcel Duchamp
 Through the âReadymadesâ series, which revolved around taking ordinary objects, elevating their status, and thus transforming them into art pieces, Duchamp challenged the very definition of what constitutes a work of art.
7.Andy Warhol
 social commentary with a unique take in a time when art started taking a wildly different direction than it had before his time. Despite rising in popularity in the 1960s, Andy Warholâs artwork remains very relevant to this day.
8.Jackson Pollock
 Pollock would often paint with the canvas on the floor rather than on an easel. What is perhaps even more intriguing, instead of relying on more or less meticulous brushwork, he would use largely erratic, haphazard movements and let chaos work its magic. His approach to art established his position as a divisive visionary, if not controversial, figurehead of the tail-end of modernism.
Famous Women Artists đŠâđ¨
Women artists had to fight for recognition (and still do). But these queens made history:
Frida Kahlo – Painted self-portraits like no one else.
Georgia OâKeeffe -Made flowers look so dramatic.
Amrita Sher-Gil – Brought Indian womenâs struggles to the canvas.
Artemisia Gentileschi –Her paintings werenât just beautifulâthey were fierce, dramatic.




Famous Artists' Sketches âď¸
Before paintings, artists warm up with sketches, kind of like doodling during a boring Zoom call. Some legendary sketchers:
1.Leonardo da Vinci â His notebooks had more ideas than a startup founder
Leonardo da Vinci (1452 â 1519) was an Italian Renaissance architect, musician, inventor, engineer, sculptor, and painter. His notebooks contain diagrams, drawings, personal notes and observations, providing a unique insight into how he saw the world. Five of these incredible objects are in our collection.
2.Michelangelo â Turned simple sketches into massive sculptures.
The historical Michelangelo Drawings exhibition (British Museum through 25 June) gives a sense of seeing the artist at work, of watching masterpieces take shape from the most humble beginnings.
3.Albrecht DĂźrer â Made animals and nature
sketches so real youâd want to pet them.DĂźrer’s woodcut is not an accurate representation. It depicts an animal with hard plates that cover its body like sheets of , with a at the throat, a solid-looking , and what appear to be along the seams; there is a small twisted horn on its back, scaly legs and saw-like rear quarters
Famous Artists in Sculpture đż

- Michelangelo â His David is basically the most famous man in marble.
- While Michelangelo was a multi-disciplined artist who created paintings, architecture, and poetry, his preferred medium was the . His works, such as his 1494â1495 sculpture âAngel,â paved the way for theca. 1520-1600), Counter-Reformation (ca. 1545-1700), and Baroque(ca. 1600-1750) periods.

- Auguste Rodin â Created The Thinker, making everyone look deep in thought.
- Works such as Rodinâs 1907 sculpture Eternal Spring testify to the sculptorâs craftsmanship. The sculptureâs ridges and imperfect, sometimes sharp edges reveal evidence of Rodinâs sculpting process. His pieces themselves are a time capsule of 19th-century sculpting.
