Salvator Mundi (Latin for 'Savior of the World') is a painting attributed in whole or in part to the Italian High Renaissance artist Leonardo da Vinci, dated to c. 1499–1510.[n 1] Long thought to be a copy of a lost original veiled with overpainting, it was rediscovered, restored, and included in an exhibition of Leonardo's work at the National Gallery, London, in 2011–2012.[2] Christie's, who sold the work in 2017, stated that most leading scholars consider it an original work by Leonardo, but this attribution has been disputed by other leading specialists, some of whom propose that he only contributed certain elements; and others who believe that the extensive restoration prevents a definitive attribution. 0 reply

What is the best water color for painting?
Ask five watercolor artists which brand they recommend and you’ll probably get five different answers!
The choice of brand seems to be quite a personal choice. I prefer Daniel Smith. They produce beautiful vibrant colors, lay down smoothly and re-wet easily in my palette. You can read more about what I consider good watercolor brands here…
Whichever brand you choose, I suggest you stick to a reputable manufacturer. Make sure they are clearly labeled with the specifications we discussed above. Well-known brands include Daniel Smith, Winsor & Newton, M. Graham, Sennelier, Da Vinci, Holbein, Schmincke, Van Gogh and Rembrandt.
I’m sure there are others, but these are some of the best known paints – although I still believe that Daniel Smith, Winsor and Newton, and M. Graham count as some of the highest quality paint brands 0 reply

European investment projects
The European Union provides various funding opportunities for investment projects. EU funding programs, such as "Horizon 2020," "European Structural and Investment Funds," "InvestEU," and other initiatives, support innovation, research, infrastructure, and other projects. Participating in EU-funded projects helps companies gain additional resources, promotes innovation, and increases their international competitiveness. European investment projects also contribute to the creation of a sustainable economy by promoting eco-friendly and socially responsible investments. We encourage you to research existing European investment projects, understand the conditions they had to meet, and the funding they received before creating your investment project. If possible, learn about the methodology for preparing investment projects, as doing your homework will make it easier to apply for investment project benefits in 2024. If you miss this year's deadline, you can try again next year. 0 reply

The most popular painting at London’s National Gallery is Vincent van Gogh’s The Sunflowers (1888), which the gallery acquired in 1924, along with Van Gogh's Chair (1888). So it is apt that a Vincent van Gogh exhibition would be chosen as the blockbuster to mark the gallery’s 200th anniversary this year. Van Gogh: Poets and Loversopens 14 September 2024 and runs until 19 January 2025. And what a glorious show it is. This first major exhibition devoted to Van Gogh in the National Gallery’s history includes over 50 works and loans from museums and private collections around the world, never seen in public before. Important paintings have travelled from the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam, the Musée d’Orsay, Paris, The Museum of Modern Art, New York, The National Museum of Western Art, Tokyo, among others. Starry Night over the Rhône, The Yellow House, Sunflowers and many more favorites are here, as well as never before seen delights. 0 reply

Collage:
Familiar to almost every art lover, collage is a two-dimensional technique combining painting, printed media, and photographs on a single canvas. The technique gained particular importance in the early days of the twentieth century when it was legitimized as an art form. Collage was one of the signature art forms of the Cubists. Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque assembled their flat compositions from newspaper clippings, musical scores, drawings, paintings, and other elements. Later on, the technique of collage was employed by Dadaists and Surrealists, transforming further into the technique of photomontage. It is still used in contemporary art, although mostly in digital form. 0 reply

Conclusion: Twilight as Metaphor
In "San Giorgio Maggiore at Dusk," Claude Monet takes us on a journey beyond the ordinary. He beckons us to contemplate the significance of twilight, not just as a transient phase of the day but as a metaphor for the ephemerality of existence itself. Through his skillful brushwork, Monet captures the fleeting beauty of a moment and immortalizes it on canvas a testament to the power of art to freeze time and evoke emotions across generations.
As we stand before this masterpiece, we're not merely looking at a painting; we're engaging in a dialogue with an artist who lived a century ago. The vibrant colors, the expressive brushstrokes, and the layers of emotion invite us to ponder the impermanence of life, the richness of human experience, and the eternal resonance of art. "San Giorgio Maggiore at Dusk" is not just a work of art; it's a mirror that reflects our own perceptions, emotions, and the timeless essence of twilight within us all. 0 reply
