Beethoven

Mona Lisa

Mona Lisa was created by Leonardo da Vinci. Mona Lisa puts on a mourning dress and a black veil. Her cross hands symbolize virtue. Mona Lisa’s soft face has a mysterious and calm atmosphere, which makes her more mysterious. Her famous smile looks like something melancholic and mystical. Such a blurry effect on her smile was produced by Sfumato technique developed by Leonardo da Vinci. Since then, many painters had used the technique.

Mona Lisa’s mystical and melancholic smile might be caused by the fact that she has no eyebrows. Now let’s draw her eyebrows carefully.

Faith

Giotto was an Italian painter and architect from Florence. He made a break with conceptual paintings of the commoner, successfully achieved spatial portrayal through perspective drawings, and initiated the technique of drawing accurately from life.

Thanks to his friendship with Dante, he drew a portrait of Dante. His other artworks are < Legend of St. Francis > , and .

The Birth of Venus

On the left side of the painting, Zephyros, the god of the west wind, hugging Chloris, a spring Nymph, (or the divine personification of the breeze) is blowing a wind to push Venus to the seaside. On the right side, the goddess of the spring (one of Horae, the goddesses of the seasons) is unfolding a dress for Venus to greet her. In < The Birth of Venus >, Botticelli’s unique soft lines and delicate descriptions, and a gracious and dignified female figure appear well. When it comes to body representation, it rarely shows senses of volume and weight. Distortion of a proportion and a posture is also another general characteristic of Botticelli’s works. Look at it carefully.

Step up on the shellfish and take the makeup service from Horae. Then your beauty will get bright as much as Venus.

The Creation of Adam

The famous masterpiece is a fresco painting by Michelangelo, forming part of the Sistine Chapel ceiling. < The Creation of Adam > in the fourth part of the ceiling, was finished last. It represents the moment of giving a life to Adam through the Creator’s touch. < The Creation of Adam> is highly acclaimed as it shows best the God’s power described by Michelangelo. The interesting thing is that the Creator’s finger doesn’t touch Adam’s. It means that the painting presents the moment when the Creator gives a life to Adam who tries to receive it.

The Creator is giving a present. What is in the precious present envelope? When you take the present, you will get a new life just as Adam. Don’t forget to take it.

Sphinx & Pyramid

Sphinx is about 70m in length, 20m in height, and 4m in width. It is the largest in Egypt. The human head and lion body stature was made of natural stone. It is called Abu el-Hol in Arabic, which means the father of horror. Also it is named the son of the Sun God. Pyramid built thousands years ago is one of seven wonders of the world. It has been said that Pyramid is a tomb of a king. Ancient Egyptians believed that when a king died, he rose up to the sky, became a star, and circulated the sky together with the Sun God.

Statues of David & Venus

David is a marble statue of Renaissance sculpture created by the Italian great artist Michelangelo. The actual statue is a naked young David who is about to throw a stone. When the statue was commissioned from influential leaders, Michelangelo used a large marble of over 5 meter in height. It took three years for him to complete the of 5.49m in height. Venus de Milo is called Aphrodite of Milos. The graceful head part and elegant figure from the breast to the waist are very beautiful.
