Synopsis

"Mona Lisa", "The Last Supper", "Sunflowers", "Water Lilies"... You have seen or heard the names of these world-famous paintings more or less, but when facing them, we often feel like facing a "familiar stranger". We know it, and at the same time, we are often confused: Why are they so good? What's so good about it? How to appreciate them? The 10 people selected in the book, including Giotto, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Monet, and Van Gogh, are all influential masters in the history of Western art. What is the most representative painting in their lives? How should we appreciate these paintings? What are the little-known stories behind these paintings. Open this book and you will find the answer.

Reader comments

As the book says, "Famous paintings are more about the blending and collision of history, culture, politics, and religion behind them." Through this book, I have a deeper understanding of those world-famous paintings, and I also learned many ways to appreciate paintings. The author's writing style is concise and smooth, which is very suitable for housewives like me to read. Highly recommended!

Is There That Brain-Burning Palace Fight?

I want to read a book similar to "The Empress is sickly and charming, fighting all the way to win the throne". Like this, the heroine has brains and the queen has a legitimate daughter. The heroine gradually climbs up to the queen mother. Oops, I don't want to watch emotional dramas.
