Ever glanced upon a piece of artwork at an art gallery or museum, possibly painted during the renaissance? Or even one of Picasso’s abstract paintings? Were you entirely captured by the beauty and the delicacy of the artwork? These faces upon the paintings are said to be the perfect record of beauties. The top five are shown below.
Expected, the top of the list is taken by the Mona Lisa, painted by Leonardo Da Vinci. The ambiguity of the expression on the subject’s face provides lasting fascination and interest to promote the continuous studies of the artwork.
Second to Mona Lisa is the painting marquise de Pompadour, painted by Maurice Quentin de La Tour.
Third on the list is Élisabeth Louise Vigée-Le Brun’s self portrait with her daughter. This painting was famous not only for its aesthetic beauty, but also the beauty within, as this painting shows the warmth of a mother, and the joy and love of a child.
Number four is La Liberté guidant le peuple, translating to Liberty leading the people. This painting was created in memory of the July Revolution of France. Eugène Delacroix merged the aspects of politics, freedom, and conscience into one painting. The beauty of the goddess of liberty in this painting is her unyielding determination for independence, which acted as a symbol of the era.
Lastly, the fifth beauty is Pierre-Auguste Renoir’s Mademoiselle Irene. The timid young girl displayed in the painting allows for a sense of tranquil and peacefulness.
