Essay- Most interesting artists in art

Art is known for all of us to being characterised by lots of paintings, sculptures or buildings. It is full of beautiful creations from all ages. Art represents everything in our lives. In addition, it reflects the different ways of life humanity has had throughout the history. In spite of all these excellent facts, there are people that do not like art due to it is boring. It depends on our point of view but some of us can be shocked if we see a masterpiece. Moreover, there is an illness called Stendhal syndrome caused because of having seeing much beauty. Above all, art can be interesting, specially in periods such as Renaissance, Baroque or Post-impressionism with its related artists like Michelangelo, Bernini and Van Gogh.

In my opinion,Michelangelo Buonarotti is one of the most important artists in the world due to being the sculptor of David and painter of many paintings such as the Sistine Chapel ceiling. It is incredible how he could sculpt David only with his hands and a chisel. Nowadays, we cannot find an explanation to facts like that. In addition, he was an immature genius. He sculpted Piety when he was twenty-three years old. A young person as me could not do something like that because of I do not know how to give shape to a marble block. He was and  he will be the best sculptor of all ages.

Many people may not know but  Gian Lorenzo Bernini inherited the sculptural strengh of Michelangelo.He reproduced drama and magnificence in his first works such as "The Kidnap of Persophone", which symbolise the myth called in the same way.He represented in his first works part of the Greek mythology like "Apolo and Dafne". Everybody wanted Bernini to turn blocks of marble into sculptures. Moreover, he worked for popes and private patrons. Bernini was ordered to design the Fountain of the Four Rivers in Piazza Navona in Rome. Futhermore, this is one of the most famous fountains in Rome for many things such as its appearance in "Angels and Demons", a film about Dan Brown's novel. 

Despite being schizophrenic, Vincent Van Gogh is one of the most interesting artists of the world. His works are appreciated by everybody because of they are different of all art; no one has painted as well as he did. One of his best paintings is "The starry night". Futhermore, he said a quotation which can be related to this work: " I don't know anything with certainty, but the sight of the stars made me dreaming." His painting technique, brush-stroke by brush-stroke is pretty strange and extravagant due to he used little stripes,spots and bright colours in works such as "Sunflowers".

Art is not tame. It has a wonderful world to discover characterised by wonderful masterpieces such as  the David by Michelangelo. Art has been changing continously as we can admire in different movements. In fact, Van Gogh was one of the most interesting artists of all times with his way of painting, brush-stroke by brush-stroke. Apart from contemporary periods, in Baroque, Bernini made sculptures more realistic due to he want to show the true mankind. Art does not have to be prejudged, has to be felt and respected.
