1. Monet - Sunrise Impression.
This famous painting is a sketch painted by Monet in 1873 in the port of Havre. He also painted a "Sunset" in the same place, both of which had no titles when it was sent to the first Impressionist exhibition. A journalist's satire on Monet's painting is"The denial of beauty and truth can only give an impression"。Monet then gave the painting a title - "Sunrise Impression". As a seascape sketch, the whole picture is shrouded in thin gray tones, and the brushstrokes are very random and scattered, showing a scene of fog blending. At sunrise, the sea is foggy, and the colors of the sky and the sun are reflected in the water, and the scenery on the shore is faint and blurry, giving people a momentary feeling.
2. Renoir - Box.
The painter succeeded in expressing the atmosphere in the box of the theater, and although only two people were painted, the painter clearly highlighted the image of the noblewoman, who was wearing makeup and contrasted with the gentleman behind him.
3. Repin - Unexpected return.
This is a work of the painter in the heyday of his creation. Repin seized the moment the exile stepped through the threshold, and the expressions and actions of him and each member of the family showed surprise, surprise, and all kinds of complicated feelings. If I don't tell you the background of the story, there must be people who think too ......much about the meaning of this work
4. Théodor Girico – The Raft of the Medusa.
The painter uses a pyramid-shaped composition to unfold the event at the moment when the only survivor on the raft discovers the shadow of the ship on the horizon, depicting the characters' hunger, thirst, suffering, and moaning in pain, which is full of suffocating tragic atmosphere.
5. Philippe Lutelburg - Avalanche in the Alps.
It is a landscape painting that depicts the avalanche scene of the Alps with a rigorous approach. The painter pays great attention to the relationship between shape and color, the warm color of the close-up scene contrasts with the cold gray of the middle and long shots, creating a sense of deep space, and the block-like mountain rock shape and the composition of different oblique lines create a dynamic and terrifying atmosphere of the avalanche. The painter reproduces the strange and spectacular scene of the avalanche in a realistic way, and vividly expresses the natural power of the landslide and the ground cracking.
6. Leonardo da Vinci - the woman holding the silver ferret.
This is one of four by Leonardo da Vinci about women (the other three are the Mona Lisa, Ginevra de Benci and Rabel Ferronière), and the heroine is the most favored by Ludovigo Sforsa, Duke of Milan.
