1. Leonardo Da Vinci

Aliran Naturalis


Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci adalah seorang jenius sejati yang menghiasi dunia ini dengan kehadirannya dari 15 April 1452 hingga 2 Mei 1519. Dia adalah salah satu seniman paling berpengaruh dalam sejarah, setelah meninggalkan warisan yang signifikan tidak hanya di bidang seni tetapi dalam sains juga.

Leonardo da Vinci adalah polymath Italia dari masa Renaisans, yang bidang minatnya meliputi penemuan, lukisan, pemahatan, arsitektur, sains, musik, matematika, teknik, sastra, anatomi, geologi, astronomi, botani, penulisan, sejarah, dan kartografi. Dia telah banyak disebut bapak paleontologi, ichnology, dan arsitektur, dan secara luas dianggap sebagai salah satu pelukis terbesar sepanjang masa.

Tahun-Tahun Awal: 1452 hingga 1476 Leonardo da Vinci lahir di sebuah dusun Tuscan dekat Vinci. Lahir di luar nikah dengan seorang notaris, Piero da Vinci, dan seorang wanita petani, Caterina, di Vinci di wilayah Florence.
Dia memulai magang sembilan tahun pada usia 14 tahun di studio Florentine, studio pelukis terkenal Andrea del Verrocchio, pematung populer, pelukis dan tukang emas yang merupakan tokoh penting dalam dunia seni hari ini. 
 
Verrocchio, yang telah mempelajari keahliannya di bawah master Donatello, adalah pematung yang diakui secara resmi untuk keluarga Medici, penguasa Italia selama era ini. Di bawah bimbingan Verrocchio, da Vinci mungkin berkembang dari melakukan berbagai tugas kasar di sekitar studio untuk mencampur cat dan menyiapkan permukaan. Dia kemudian akan lulus untuk belajar dan menyalin karya tuannya. Akhirnya, dia akan membantu Verrocchio, bersama dengan murid lainnya, dalam menghasilkan karya seni master.Da Vinci tidak hanya mengembangkan keterampilannya dalam menggambar, melukis dan mematung selama magang, tetapi melalui orang lain yang bekerja di dalam dan di sekitar studio, ia mengambil pengetahuan di bidang yang beragam seperti mekanika, pertukangan, metalurgi, perancangan arsitektur dan kimia. Pada tahun 1473, ketika ia sudah lebih dari setengah dari studinya dengan Verrocchio, ia menyelesaikan Menggambar Lanskap untuk Santa Maria della Neve, sebuah penggambaran pena dan tinta dari lembah Sungai Arno. Ini adalah karya paling awal yang jelas berasal dari da Vinci. 

Sebagian besar kehidupan kerja sebelumnya dihabiskan untuk melayani Ludovico il Moro di Milan. Dia kemudian bekerja di Roma, Bologna dan Venesia, dan dia menghabiskan tahun-tahun terakhirnya di Perancis di rumah yang diberikan kepadanya oleh Francis I dari Perancis.

4. Rembrandt

Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn was a Dutch painter and etcher. He is generally considered one of the greatest painters and printmakers in European art and the most important in Dutch history. His contributions to art came in a period of great wealth and cultural achievement that historians call the Dutch Golden Age when Dutch Golden Age painting, although in many ways antithetical to the Baroque style that dominated Europe, was extremely prolific and innovative, and gave rise to important new genres in painting. Having achieved youthful success as a portrait painter, Rembrandt's later years were marked by personal tragedy and financial hardships. Yet his etchings and paintings were popular ...more on Wikipedia

Pablo Ruiz y Picasso, also known as Pablo Picasso, was a Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist, stage designer, poet and playwright who spent most of his adult life in France. As one of the greatest and most influential artists of the 20th century, he is known for co-founding the Cubist movement, the invention of constructed sculpture, the co-invention of collage, and for the wide variety of styles that he helped develop and explore. Among his most famous works are the proto-Cubist Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, and Guernica, a portrayal of the Bombing of Guernica by the German and Italian airforces at the behest of the Spanish nationalist government during the Spanish Civil War.

6. Raphael



Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino, known as Raphael, was an Italian painter and architect of the High Renaissance. His work is admired for its clarity of form, ease of composition, and visual achievement of the Neoplatonic ideal of human grandeur. Together with Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci, he forms the traditional trinity of great masters of that period. Raphael was enormously productive, running an unusually large workshop and, despite his death at 37, leaving a large body of work. Many of his works are found in the Vatican Palace, where the frescoed Raphael Rooms were the central, and the largest, work of his career. The best known work is The School of Athens in the Vatican Stanza della S...more on Wikipedia

7. Johannes Vermeer

Johannes, Jan or Johan Vermeer was a Dutch painter who specialized in domestic interior scenes of middle-class life. Vermeer was a moderately successful provincial genre painter in his lifetime. He seems never to have been particularly wealthy, leaving his wife and children in debt at his death, perhaps because he produced relatively few paintings. Vermeer worked slowly and with great care, using bright colours and sometimes expensive pigments, with a preference for lapis lazuli and Indian yellow. He is particularly renowned for his masterly treatment and use of light in his work. Vermeer painted mostly domestic interior scenes. "Almost all his paintings are apparently set in two smallish ro...more on Wikipedia

8. Claude Monet

Oscar-Claude Monet was a founder of French Impressionist painting, and the most consistent and prolific practitioner of the movement's philosophy of expressing one's perceptions before nature, especially as applied to plein-air landscape painting. The term "Impressionism" is derived from the title of his painting Impression, soleil levant, which was exhibited in 1874 in the first of the independent exhibitions mounted by Monet and his associates as an alternative to the Salon de Paris. Monet's ambition of documenting the French countryside led him to adopt a method of painting the same scene many times in order to capture the changing of light and the passing of the seasons. From 1883 Monet ...more on Wikipedia

9.  Caravaggio

Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio was an Italian painter active in Rome, Naples, Malta, and Sicily between 1592 and 1610. His paintings, which combine a realistic observation of the human state, both physical and emotional, with a dramatic use of lighting, had a formative influence on Baroque painting. Caravaggio trained as a painter in Milan under Simone Peterzano who had himself trained under Titian. In his twenties Caravaggio moved to Rome where there was a demand for paintings to fill the many huge new churches and palazzos being built at the time. It was also a period when the Church was searching for a stylistic alternative to Mannerism in religious art that was tasked to counter the t...more on Wikipedia

Édouard Manet was a French painter. He was one of the first 19th-century artists to paint modern life, and a pivotal figure in the transition from Realism to Impressionism.

Salvador Domingo Felipe Jacinto Dalí i Domènech, 1st Marqués de Dalí de Pubol, known as Salvador Dalí, was a prominent Spanish surrealist painter born in Figueres, Catalonia, Spain. Dalí was a skilled draftsman, best known for the striking and bizarre images in his surrealist work. His painterly skills are often attributed to the influence of Renaissance masters. His best-known work, The Persistence of Memory, was completed in August 1931. Dalí's expansive artistic repertoire included film, sculpture, and photography, in collaboration with a range of artists in a variety of media.

 13. Paul Cézanne

Paul Cézanne was a French artist and Post-Impressionist painter whose work laid the foundations of the transition from the 19th-century conception of artistic endeavour to a new and radically different world of art in the 20th century. Cézanne's often repetitive, exploratory brushstrokes are highly characteristic and clearly recognizable. He used planes of colour and small brushstrokes that build up to form complex fields. The paintings convey Cézanne's intense study of his subjects. Cézanne can be said to form the bridge between late 19th-century Impressionism and the early 20th century's new line of artistic enquiry, Cubism. Both Matisse and Picasso are said to have remarked that Cézanne "...more on Wikipedia

In addition to numerous renditions of scenes of historical and cultural significance, he painted scores of portraits of the Spanish royal family, other notable European figures, and commoners, culminating in the production of his masterpiece Las Meninas. From the first quarter of the nineteenth century, Velázquez's artwork was a model for the realist and impressionist painters, in particular Édouard Manet. Since ...more on Wikipedia

Edgar Degas was a French artist famous for his paintings, sculptures, prints, and drawings. He is especially identified with the subject of dance; more than half of his works depict dancers. He is regarded as one of the founders of Impressionism, although he rejected the term, preferring to be called a realist. He was a superb draftsman, and particularly masterly in depicting movement, as can be seen in his renditions of dancers, racecourse subjects and female nudes. His portraits are notable for their psychological complexity and for their portrayal of human isolation. At the beginning of his career, he wanted to be a history painter, a calling for which he was well prepared by his rigorous...more on Wikipedia

Among the artists of the Vienna Secession, Klimt was the most influenced by Japanese art and its methods. Early in his artistic career he was a successful painter of architectural decorations in a conventional manner.

Although he was initially labelled a Fauve, by the 1920s he was increasingly hailed as an upholder of the classical tradition in French painting.

23.  James Abbott Whistler

James Abbott McNeill Whistler /ˈdʒeɪmz ˈæbət məkˈniːl ˈwɪslɚ/ was an American-born, British-based artist active during the American Gilded Age. Averse to sentimentality and moral allusion in painting, he was a leading proponent of the credo "art for art's sake". His famous signature for his paintings was in the shape of a stylized butterfly possessing a long stinger for a tail. The symbol was apt, for it combined both aspects of his personality—his art was characterized by a subtle delicacy, while his public persona was combative. Finding a parallel between painting and music, Whistler entitled many of his paintings "arrangements", "harmonies", and "nocturnes", emphasizing the primacy of ton...more on Wikipedia

Frida Kahlo de Rivera was a Mexican painter who is best known for her self-portraits. Kahlo's life began and ended in Mexico City, in her home known as the Blue House. Her work has been celebrated in Mexico as emblematic of national and indigenous tradition and by feminists for its uncompromising depiction of the female experience and form. Mexican culture and Amerindian cultural tradition are important in her work, which has been sometimes characterized as naïve art or folk art. Her work has also been described as surrealist, and in 1938 André Breton, principal initiator of the surrealist movement, described Kahlo's art as a "ribbon around a bomb". Frida rejected the "surrealist" label; she...more on Wikipedia

Roy Fox Lichtenstein was an American pop artist. During the 1960s, along with Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns, and James Rosenquist among others, he became a leading figure in the new art movement. His work defined the basic premise of pop art through parody. Favoring the comic strip as his main inspiration, Lichtenstein produced hard-edged, precise compositions that documented while it parodied often in a tongue-in-cheek humorous manner. His work was heavily influenced by both popular advertising and the comic book style. He described pop art as "not 'American' painting but actually industrial painting". His paintings were exhibited at the Leo Castelli Gallery in New York City. Whaam! and Drownin...more on Wikipedia
