Painting

Painting

Painting is one if not the most variated type of art, because is the pure thoughts expressed in color by the artist himself.

Some of the best artists of all arts are painters, maybe because is a "simple" meaningful art.

painting, as the other arts, has evolved during time here is a list of the phases:

• Antiquity
• Medieval
• Renaissance
• Baroque
• Contemporary

The greatest era for painting was the renaissance, because artists like Da Vinci developed their abilities to the maximum, creating masterpieces like Da Vinci´s Gioconda or Michelangelo´s paintings in the sixtine chapel.

My favourite masterpiece is from this particular period, its called "Adam´s creation" which depicts God himself creating Adam, the first man. Here it is:

• Painted by Michelangelo.
• was painted between 1511 and 1512.
• Is located in the sixtine chapel, The vatican.
• Was painted for the decoration of the chapel, among many other masterpieces.

I personally love this painting because of the details and its size, it must have taken a lot of effort, also because it has a hidden meaning; the red cloth-like cloud that surrounds God resembles a human brain or cranium, because there was the belief that "God is in everyone´s mind".
