Masterpieces of Painting is my personal tribute to great painters and their works. For the most famous ones, usually presented in the 500-page canonical edition of the History of Art. But also for those less known, for whom I extended the history of painting to 2,500 pages. It is only against such a broad background that the mysterious genius of the most valued can be seen. I can assure you that among the less known there are many wonderful paintings that fully deserve the title of a masterpiece. If you want to see such an extensive history of art - subscribe to the channel. The order was arranged chronologically according to the painter's date of birth. I start my story with Giotto di Bondone, born in 1226, and his painting considered to be the first painting of the Renaissance - the Kiss of Judas from 1305.
I greet and wish you many great impressions. Bogusław Białecki. Wrocław, September 2021.
P.S. The choice of artists and paintings is absolutely subjective. These are simply images that I admire and like. Write, comment on, admire or criticize the selection and point out mistakes. As a painting lover, you are always welcome here. It's good to learn something new.
