The artist i researched about was Edvard Munch, who was from Norway and lived from 12th December 1863 - 23rd January 1944.
Edvard has worked with various unknown artists in his career, and was artistically supervised by the artist Christian Krohg when he lived with a group of friends.
He enrolled at the Royal School of Art and Design of Christiana when he was studying art.
He created most of his famous works when he travelled to Berlin and France.
His most famous creation is 'The Scream'.
This painting is depicted as representing the universal anxiety of modern man.
Originally, the painting was called 'The Cry'.
The story behind this came from his memory of a sunset.
He recalled walking down a road with a group of friends when the sun was setting, and stopped walking, feeling anxious about how blood red the sky was.
I chose to investigate this artist because his 'The Scream' painting is one of the most famous in the world, and i like the fact most of his pieces look almost realistic, but still have that part of looking abstract.
Another artist i researched about was Leonardo da Vinci, who was from Italy, and lived from 15th April 1452 - 2nd May 1519.
Leonardo has worked with various artists, including Antonio Pollaiuolo the portrait sculptor, and Mino da Fiesole, when he did an apprenticeship.
His most famous piece of work is 'The Mona Lisa', which is arguably the most famous painting in the world.
The subject in the painting, supposedly Lisa del Giocondo, was a member of a wealthy family from Italy, and Leonardo created the painting for their new home and the celebration of the birth of the family's newest baby.
I chose to investigate this artist because 'The Mona Lisa' is the most well known, and parodied painting, which i thought was interesting. I also wanted to find out more about the painting, as it's hard to figure out the various mysteries.
