“Renaissance" the best periods of art history.

"Renaissance Period"

Renaissance period is the most influential and the best period of art history. Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael Sanzio and many more famous painters. They have contributed so much in the field of art.

Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519) was an Italian polymath, regarded as the epitome of the "Renaissance Man", displaying skills in numerous diverse areas of study. Whilst most famous for his paintings such as the Mona Lisa and the Last Supper, Leonardo is also renowned as a scientist, engineer and inventor. One of his famous invention is "The Vitruvian Man" this is the best known drawing in the world.

Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino (April 6 or March 28, 1483 – April 6, 1520), better known simply as Raphael, was an Italian painter and architect of the High Renaissance. His work is admired for its clarity of form and ease of composition and for its 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. One of his famous painting is the School of Athens. 


Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni (6 March 1475 – 18 February 1564), commonly known as Michelangelo, was an Italian Renaissance sculptor, painter, architect, poet, and engineer who exerted an unparalleled influence on the development of Western art. Despite making few forays beyond the arts, his versatility in the disciplines he took up was of such a high order that he is often considered a contender for the title of the archetypal Renaissance man, along with fellow Italian Leonardo da Vinci.


 David is a masterpiece of Renaissance sculpture created between 1501 and 1504, by the Italian artist Michelangelo. It is a 5.17-metre (17.0 ft) marble statue of a standing male nude.

Mona Lisa the famous painting

"Mona Lisa"

Hi! It’s been a month since I last posted an entry on my blog. It’s already our second semester in our first year college. Our blog entry for this week is about “Mona Lisa”.  

Do you know Mona Lisa? When I heard the word Mona Lisa the first thing that comes to my mind is the Song “Beautiful in my Eyes” by Kadison Joshua because in that song there is lyrics about Mona Lisa. This is some part of those lyrics so you could understand what I’m saying. ^_^

You're my Mona Lisa,
You're my rainbow skies,
And my only prayer is that you realize
You'll always be beautiful in my eyes.

When I imagine the famous painting of Leonardo da Vinci the thing that comes always to my mind is an ordinary girl sitting and smiling wearing a black dress.

According to the article that I have read, Mona Lisa (La Gioconda or La Joconde, or Portrait of Lisa Gherardini, wife of Francesco del Giocondo) 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."

The painting, thought to be a portrait of Lisa Gherardini, the wife of Francesco Del Giocondo, is in oil on a poplar panel, and is believed to have been painted between 1503 and 1506. It was acquired by King Francis I of France and is now the property of the French Republic, on permanent display at the Musée du Louvre in Paris.The ambiguity of the subject's expression, frequently described as enigmatic, the monumentality of the composition, the subtle modeling of forms and the atmospheric illusionism were novel qualities that have contributed to the continuing fascination and study of the work.
I know almost all the people in the world knew the famous painting done by Leonardo da Vinci which is Mona Lisa. Some says that the expression of Mona Lisa is changing but I don’t know if that is true. Just investigate the mystery of Mona Lisa and maybe someday you may know it. HAHAHA. That’s all. Thank you.
