A
The following 4 famous paintings-from Jan van Eyck's portrait to Pablo Picasso's
masterpiece-have stood the test of time.
The Arnolfini Portrait
The Arnolfini Portrait of Jan van Eyck,an oil painting on wood produced in 1434,in which a
man and a woman hold hands with a window behind him and a bed behind her,is undoubtedly one
of the masterpieces in the National Gallery,London.This painting is as visually interesting as it is
famed.It is also an informative document on fifteenth-century society,through van Eyck's heavy
use of symbolism-while husbands went out to engage in business,wives concerned themselves
with domestic duties.
The Starry Night
Vincent Willem van Gogh painted The Starry Night,an oil on canvas ()a moderately
abstract landscape painting of an expressive night sky over a small hillside village,during his
12-month stay at the mental hospital near Saint-Remy-de-Provence,France between 1889 and 1890.
When the Museum of Modern Art in New York City purchased the painting from a private collector
in 1941,it was not well known,but it has since become one of van Gogh's most famous works.
The Harvesters
The Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565.It
depicts the harvest time which most commonly emerged within the months of August and
September.Nicolaes Jonghelinck,a merchant banker and art collector from Antwerp,
commissioned this painting.The painting has been at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York
City since 1919.
Guernica
Guernica,a large black-and-white oil painting,was painted by the Cubist Spanish painter,
Pablo Picasso in 1937.The title "Guernica"refers-to the city that was bombed by Nazi planes
during the Spanish Civil War.The painting depicts the horrors of war and as a result,has come to
be an anti-war symbol and a reminder of the tragedies of war.Today,the painting is housed at the
Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia in Madrid.
