1. Sunrise (1872) by Claude Monet
Sunrise (1872) by Claude Monet
Many historical paintings have played influential roles and inspired some of our greatest artists. However, not many artists can brag about the name of their painting, giving birth to an entirely new style that shaped the landscape of modern art for years to come.
When the artists were rejected by the salons in Paris and not allowed to exhibit their art, the state arranged an exhibition for them, and one of the paintings was this one that was titled ''Impression, sunrise,'' and this gave the name to the newfound style of art called impressionism!
2. The Starry Night (1889) by Vincent van Gogh
The Starry Night (1889) by Vincent van Gogh
Few people need an introduction to van Gogh's Starry Night as it's one of the most recognized and celebrated artworks of all time. However, we wouldn't do our job well if we didn't tell you a little about the work, right?
He painted it from his asylum window just as the sun was about to go up when the stars were shining into his window, but from his other paintings that were made with the view from his asylum window, we know that there wasn't a village close to them, but there where Wheatfield's, so the village in questions is just another proof of van Gogh's brilliant imagination and creative ability.
3. The Scream (1895) by Edvard Munch
The Scream (1895) by Edvard Munch
Perhaps the most famous artwork in the world, definitely the most famous work by Munch, ''The Scream'' is an iconic masterpiece recognised by the world. Munch was walking home one day in Norway when he heard what he describes as the immense scream of nature. This experience was the basis of one of the most famous works of all time and laid the foundation of Munch's impressive legacy.
4. Water Lilies and Japanese Bridge (1899) by Claude Monet
Water Lilies and Japanese Bridge (1899) by Claude Monet
Monet lived in different places during his career, and each place has put its own footprint on his portfolio of artworks. Still, no place has been as present in his artistic career as his house in Giverny and its water garden with Japanese water-lilies.
During the final stages of his life and career, Monet painted over 250 paintings of the water-lilies from 1897 up until he died in 1926.
5. The Dream (1910) by Henri Rousseau
The Dream (1910) by Henri Rousseau
Rousseau's most famous and celebrated works were the ones that were jungle-inspired, and it is also the reason why he is called a primitive artist.
However, what's interesting about this is that Rousseau had never been in a jungle environment! He created these images purely out of imagination, and he listened to his friends in the military that had been in Mexico and visited the botanical garden in Paris. Based on this, he used his imagination to create the jungle images, which makes his creations even more inspiring!
So from his imagination, he created animals, fruits, and jungles, and he did so in wonderful colors to create a tropical setting!
6. Broadway Boogie Woogie by Piet Mondrian
Broadway Boogie Woogie by Piet Mondrian
One of the purposes of Mondrain's art was to find the perfect balance; he described it as "to express harmony through the equivalence of relationships of lines, colors, and planes." and his works managed to do so with the division of the canvas using squares in primary colors.
Through simplicity, Mondrian created one of the most recognizable art styles in the world.
7. Day of the God (Mahana no atua) (1894) by Paul Gauguin
Day of the God (Mahana no atua) (1894) by Paul Gauguin
The work is Gauguin's interpretation of Polynesian mythology, with the main subject matter of the painting being Taaroa in the middle. She is the creator of all worlds, and the locals would bring her gifts in sacrifice.
He depicted the ritual in his own fashion, and he combined the mythology with the colours of the land to further enhance the beauty of the tradition and environment he depicted.
