The bold colors, exaggerated body proportions and stark contrasts help Paul Gauguin paintings achieve broad success in the late 19th century. This paved the way for the Primitivism art movement. Paul Gauguin was a famed French artist who didn't have any formal art training. Instead, he simply followed his own vision, abandoning artistic conventions.
1888 saw the birth of one of the most famous boldly colored Paul Gauguin paintings, the Vision of the Sermon. It was a boldly colored work depicting the Biblical tale of Jacob wrestling with an angel. Prior to this, one of his works was accepted into an important show in Paris entitled Salon of 1876.
Paul began work on creative and innovative art with the fusion of Tahitian culture with his own in 1891. However, these Tahitian pieces were met with mixed interest by Parisian art aficionados in 1893. It was in French Polynesia that one of the later masterpieces among Paul Gauguin paintings was completed. This masterpiece was a review of the life cycle of man.
It did not take long for Tiziano Vecellio to be considered as the leading painter of Venice. It took only his first major public commission to do that. His early training under Giorgione was responsible for Titian paintings to have that tonal approach to them. Likewise, this training was the culprit for the atmospheric and evocative style to his landscape artworks.
The pastoral landscapes among the Titian paintings celebrated the beauty of nature alongside love and music. One particular landscape, Two Satyrs in a Landscape, featured mythological figures in a lush landscape whose untamed beauty contrasted with a carefully balanced arrangement.
The portraits among the Titian paintings were remarkable for their expression of a psychological dimension to their sitters while at the same time suggesting their eminent status and importance. Psychological dimensions are expressed through the portrayal of melancholia and dreamy moods while status and importance are conveyed through depictions of hand and face sensitivity as well as presence monumentality.
