文艺复兴时期三大文学巨匠英文介绍

Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Raphael are three of the greatest artists in history. But they were also people with ideas and visions that reached far beyond the world of art. They were also bitter rivals, competing for both commissions and fame. All three became immortal. Every now and then, on rare occasions, an exhibition of one of these three Italian Renaissance artists is organቤተ መጻሕፍቲ ባይዱzed somewhere in the world. There is always enormous interest in such an event. The name of the artist, the priceless works and all the publicity make people from around the world queue outside museums and galleries. The three rivals are now working and traveling the world together. This is the first time this has happened and the only time in the foreseeable future. Probably the only time in our lifetime.
the Last Supper
The Last Supper (Italian: Il Cenacolo or L'Ultima Cena) is a late 15th century mural painting by Leonardo da Vinci in the refectory of the Convent of Santa Maria della Grazie, Milan. The work is presumed to have been commenced around 1495 and was commissioned as part of a scheme of renovations to the church and its convent buildings by Leonardo's patron Ludovico Sforza, Duke of Milan. The painting represents the scene of The Last Supper of Jesus with his disciples, as it is told in the Gospel of John, 13:21. Leonardo has depicted the consternation that occurred among the Twelve Disciples when Jesus announced that one of them would betray him.

The Last Supper measures 460 cm × 880 cm (180 in × 350 in) and covers an end wall of the dining hall at the monastery of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan, Italy. The theme was a traditional one forrefectories, although the room was not a refectory at the time that Leonardo painted it. The main church building had only recently been completed (in 1498), but was remodeled by Bramante, hired by Ludovico Sforza to build a Sforza family mausoleum.[1] The painting was commissioned by Sforza to be the centerpiece of the mausoleum.[2] Thelunettes above the main painting, formed by the triple arched ceiling of the refectory, are painted with Sforza coatsof-arms. The opposite wall of the refectory is covered by the Crucifixion fresco by Giovanni Donato da Montorfano, to which Leonardo added figures of the Sforza family in tempera. (These figures have deteriorated in much the same way as has The Last Supper.) Leonardo began work on The Last Supper in 1495 and completed it in 1498—he did not work on the painting continuously. The beginning date is not certain, as the archives of the convent for the period have been destroyed and a document dated 1497 indicates that the painting was nearly completed at that date.[3] One story goes that a prior from the monastery complained to Leonardo about the delay, enraging him. He wrote to the head of the monastery, explaining he had been struggling to find the perfect villainous face for Judas, and that if he could not find a face corresponding with what he had in mind, he would use the features of the prior who complained.
Leonardo da Vinci
Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519) was the oldest of the three masters. He took up an apprenticeship with a sculptor and painter in Florence at a young age and is said to have surpassed his teacher in the art of painting very quickly. If anyone can be called a universal genius, it is Leonardo. He was not only one of the best painters the world has ever seen. He was also an inventor, an architect, an engineer and a scientist, in most cases with ideas that were way ahead of their time. As if this was not enough, he is also said to have been physically strong and to have had a good singing voice and an attractive appearance. Although there are very few authentic paintings by Leonardo, he was responsible for some of the world’s most brilliant works. The Mona Lisa and the fresco the Last Supper are the best known.

The Mona Lisa
The Mona Lisa was painted by Leonardo Da Vinci, circa 1503-1505. The medium is oil on panel. It is currently part of the Musee de Louvre collection in Paris France.

The name Mona Lisa comes from a shortening of the Italian Madonna meaning lady and Lisa the first name of the subject. Part of the reason this work is so famous is because of the paintings provenance, after Leonardo Da Vinci painted it, he kept it in his personal collection until his death, at which point it became a part of the royal collection Francis the 1st.
