A short History of Painting

THE MONA LISA

Mona Lisa, the worlds most renounced piece of art work. Painted in the time of 1503 and 1506 although time could have been spent on it until 1517, by the one and only Leonardo da Vinci. The Mona Lisa has cause many commotion of the centuries, On why? where ? who? when and how?. Painted with oil paint Leonardo went for a more portraiture look for the Mona Lisa understandable because he didn't want it looking distorted at all.

For the Era I would think its hard alone to go an create your own oil paints... very time consuming on it own. Also Thought to be Lisa Gherardini, the wife of Francesco del Giocondo. the man whom commissioned Leonardo to paint such a portrait.
Theory's ?

My thoughts on the Painting of Mona Lisa. An amazing mystery a codex on a brush, unveiling with beauty and love. I fine her in love with whom ever sees looking at?
Her lips show the beginning stages of love, the moment when two beings soul gaze and make love with their eyes. I find this portrait as a secret lover.... of someone he just couldn't have.... leaving him in pain carrying the Mona Lisa around till the day of its completion.... This is also what i think Leonardo thought himself.




THE SCREAM

Created in 1893 in the period of Expressionism the form of media was wood cut, Crafted by Edvard Munch. within this art work i find that Edvard is trying to tell us as a viewer, his feel of been threatened of the world. Afraid of wide open spaces and the over-whelming feeling, of ''Screaming'' from his deep self concussions. a phobia. 
i think this is als what hes trying to say.

In the Era is was the time of screen printing a new trend of emotions and media.
