Simply Magical, Everyday!: Jul 3, 2009

If you leave your home you see art work all around, if you stay home, most likely you still see artwork. So, when did this all start? Over the past centuries no one can set in stone an actual time line pertaining the arts and sciences due to the everyday new discoveries. Some of the most famous have been documented to a specific time period due of the nature of the art."

The Gothic style (1280-1515) began with the architectures of the 12th century, at the height of the Middle Ages. The most known artwork from this time was done by the Limbourg brothers. Pol, Herman, and Jean Limbourg put allot of work into their joint masterpiece, *Les Riches Heures*.
The Renaissance style (1420-1600) might have been the most popular of all time most would say. I believe this may be where we find some of the greatest artists ever known. Some include the mighty Florentines, Leonardo Da Vinci and Michelangelo Di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni, The Umbrian, Raphael Sanzio and The Venetians... Titian, Tintoretto and Veronese.
The Impressionists style (1860-1900) are unrivalled in their popular appeal. Their paintings are among the best and most loved in the world. Everyone I know has seen at least one piece of artwork from this style. The most familiar principal Impressionist painters were Vincent Van Gogh, Claude Monet, Pierre Auguste Renoir, Camille Pissarro, Alfred Sisley, Berthe Morisot, Armand Guillaumin, Bazille, Edgar Degas and Paul.
Last but not least you find The Modern Masters (1900-2000)that are constantly being updated with new findings."

Here are a few of my favorites, enjoy!
