E-minor7 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 "Mona Lisa must have had the highway blues, you can tell by the way she smiles. . ." …................….........................................................................................................B.D.1966 - Count me in Wily – I tend to see Marty Feldman in the mix. Da Vinci, , , , oh yes, once met him in Rome – but my favorite these days still is Hartford Snyder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pfox14 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Very Monty Python-esque animation of the Mona Lisa. Funny stuff. In all seriousness, I am a lover of fine art. One day I'll have to visit Rome and see the Sisteen Chapel in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-minor7 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Very Monty Python-esque animation of the Mona Lisa. Funny stuff. In all seriousness, I am a lover of fine art. One day I'll have to visit Rome and see the Sisteen Chapel in person. My girlfriend and me were shown the door there a couple of light-years ago – her skirt was too short. A little pythonesque too. Never paid it a thought before goin'. . . . Oooh yes, and I also met Mona. Smaller than expected and slightly reserved behind glass. . . The guys swarmed around her - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Versatile Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 J M W Turner...one of the most outrageously original painters of all time Also the surrealists and cubists...most of whom can paint 'straight' when the need arises Leonardo da Vinci for being one of the greatest allround geniuses ever Canaletto for painstaking photo realism Caravaggio for inspiring Martin Scorcese David Hockney (and Picasso) for achieving great success in their lifetimes Constable and Gainsborough for immortalising the English countryside And many more....
