Famous Art Paintings & Artists What paintings are famous art?
Famous Spanish artist Salvador Dali is well known for his many paintings in the surrealist art style but most people would recognize his most famous painting called Persistence of Memory with the melting watches in front of a barren landscape. He has many big selling oil painting reproductions as signed and numbered art prints in museums, galleries and private collections around the world and this would qualify as famous if not fine art. The Renaissance started in the Italian city of Florence and the Medicis were a rich family that sponsored now famous painters and many of their artistic projects became very famous. Not every piece centered around the Christian religion which had dominated the art scene. Many artistic concepts were developed during this period like perspective, self portraits, still life and they in turn spawned many design and style changes throughout all of Europe for several hundred years. When Claude Monet first put his Impression: Sunrise for sale, now known as Impressionism, few would have predicted how his images would help build the art gallery sensations of Henri Matisse, the style of Vincent van Gogh, or even Modigliani but as luck would have it he certainly was an influencer. In modern times abstract oil painting became highly developed as did Pop Art. Andy Warhol is one of the most well recognized in the Pop Movement with his Brillo Boxes and portraits of Marilyn Monroe done with silk screen techniques. The following is Doug’s List of very famous single pieces, my resource of history's most famous paintings by famous Artists. This is not an attempt to define what is best, beautiful, or most inspirational.
