Painters are a special breed. They can paint anything, they’re always looking to explore new techniques and styles, and they have a deep appreciation for the past. What’s more, many of them have been famous throughout history—and not just as famous painters; some have also been incredibly successful businessmen.
Here are our top picks for the four greatest painters in history:
1. Leonardo Da Vinci
Leonardo Da Vinci was a Renaissance polymath: painter, sculptor, architect, musician and engineer. He is widely considered to be one of the greatest painters of all time. Da Vinci also worked as an inventor, creating a helicopter and an armored fighting vehicle for Cesare Borgia (an Italian condottiero).
Da Vinci died in 1519 at the age of 67 due to complications with malaria; however it is believed that he may have been murdered by his jealous rivals at court who feared losing their positions due to his genius and influence over King Francis I’s mind.
2. Pablo Picasso
Pablo Picasso is a Spanish painter, sculptor and printmaker who spent most of his adult life in France. He is considered one of the most influential artists in history and his work has been cited as an inspiration by many other artists. He is best known for co-founding Cubism with Georges Braque and Juan Gris, through which he developed the idea of “breaking down reality” into geometric forms that could be represented on canvas or paper.
His Guernica painting of 1937 caused a great deal of controversy at the time because it showed scenes from German bombings during World War II (1939–45). The painting depicts destruction and death caused by bombing raids over Guernica during 1937; it shows both people fleeing from bombs dropped by German planes on civilians below them, but also shows soldiers fighting against tanks carrying machine guns mounted on them—which happened around Guernica during those attacks
3. Michelangelo
Michelangelo Buonarroti was an Italian Renaissance painter, sculptor, architect and engineer. He is considered one of the greatest sculptors of all time. He was born in Caprese on 6 March 1475 as Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni. His father was a mason who worked on buildings in Florence including San Lorenzo church and Piazza Signoria (home to Palazzo Vecchio).
Michelangelo’s mother was a peasant woman who died when he was only three years old leaving him to be raised by his paternal grandmother.
She owned a small farmhouse where Michelangelo spent most of his childhood days playing with other children around their village called Fiesole. Where they grew up helping out at harvest time when there wasn’t enough work for all hands so they would divide up chores according to age group such as harvesting olives from trees versus grapes from vines but mostly just playing catch or making mud pies which became popular among local boys throughout Tuscany during this era but also across Europe under similar circumstances due mainly because there weren’t enough jobs available for everyone so people started taking care of themselves instead
4. Vincent Van Gogh
Vincent Van Gogh was born in the Netherlands on 30 March 1853. His father, a writer and preacher, helped to found the Christian Association of Drenthe (the Dutch province where he was born). As a child he attended elementary school in The Hague and began drawing at an early age; he later attended The Hague Academy before leaving for Paris when his father died in 1862. In 1864 Van Gogh started working as an art dealer’s assistant while studying under Paul Gauguin at Pont-Aven.
In 1869 Van Gogh moved to Arles where he painted many of his most famous works such as “The Starry Night” and “Sunflowers”, which are now among the most recognizable paintings ever made by any artist anywhere on Earth. It is clear that the painter Vincent Van Gogh was a unique and creative artist who had an incredible ability to capture the beauty of nature. He was also one of the first artists to use color as an abstract form of expression.
Conclusion
These four geniuses are and will always be the world’s greatest painters of all time. They are known for their raw talent. If you are a painter or sculptor, then you must have heard about all of them. They are an inspiration to millions of artists throughout the world.
