Greetings Wishing everyone a superb Tuesday!
Do you have a favourite artist?
(Whether painting, sculpture, architecture, photo etc)
My general favourite era tends to be Rennaissance/Baroque, I love the lifelikeness/stories and the everyday social history many paintings show. It is like seeing a photographic view into the past. Admittedly I am not so much a fan of modern or impressionism. Nothing against it, just a matter of taste!
Anyway I have a few likable ones, but first that comes to mind that I particularly love is Sonofisba, a talented 16th century female artist who against all odds was trained and later became court painter under the King of Spain. Example of one of her works:
What I particular love about it is that, via her sisters playing a game of chess, is conveying a bold message that "Yes, girls and women can be strategists and be damn good at it!" As well as having personalities.
