Painting and Arts

All of the time that I've spending thinking and researching Renaissance paintings and art has made me want to create some art or a painting of my own. I decided to not be too picky about what type or anything and just let my creativity flow. I've been addicted to Astarte's Mega-Zine. I can't even explain how cool all of the issues are. For those of you who don't know Astarte's Mega-Zine is an online magazine is stuffed full of art tips and information about art and paintings. You can check them out here or click the image at the bottom. I have found all of their issues to be really helpful. Right now I don't think I'm good enough to post pictures of any of my attempts at Renaissance painting and arts, but maybe soon. I would definitely recommend you check out Astarte's Mega-Zine, its very inexpensive and definitely full of lots of helpful things and a great deal. I can't want for the next issue.

Famous Renaissance Paintings

This is one of my favorite Renaissance paintings.  It is call The Birth of Venus and was done in 1485 by Sandro Botticelli.  Venus is the goddess of love and beauty and this painting depicts her first emerging from the sea on a shell and then being blown ashore by the wind gods.  This is definitely a good example of some of the beautiful Renaissance art.

No blog about Renaissance paintings and art is complete without the famous painting of the Mona Lisa, or La Gioconda, by Leonardo da Vinci.  This is most likely the Renaissance painting that is the most famous among everyday people.  Practically everyone has heard of this painting.  Although this Renaissance painting does not fall in my top list of Renaissance painting and art, I decided to include it simply because of its name recognition.

Hopefully you have all enjoyed my first real post of Renaissance paintings and art.
