Salon, Paris, François Joseph Heim’s 1827 painting, “Charles V Distributing Awards to the Artists at the Close of the Salon of 1824″ shows how paintings were displayed at salons.
the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci, 14 century The Mona Lisa is a half-length portrait of a woman by the Italian artist Leonardo da Vinci, which has been acclaimed as "the best known, the most visited, the most written about, the most sung about, the most parodied work of art in the world."
I really like this art work for its realism and the way her eyes always look at you, over all a very inspiring peace.
The Great Wave off Kanagawa
The great wave off Kanagawa also known as The Great Wave or simply The Wave, is an ukiyo-e woodblock print by Japanese artist Hokusai, published sometime between 1830 and 1833 . It is Hokusai's most famous work, and one of the best recognized works of Japanese art in the world. It depicts an enormous wave threatening boats off the coast of the prefecture of Kanagawa. While sometimes assumed to be atsunami, the wave is, as the picture's title notes, more likely to be a large okinami ("wave of the open sea"). As in all the prints in the series, it depicts the area around Mount Fuji under particular conditions, and the mountain itself appears in the background.
I like this Painting is has a variety of techniques and kind of cartoony feel.
