🎨 A Moment in Art History

Did you know that Vincent van Gogh only sold one painting during his lifetime? 😲

It was “The Red Vineyard,” sold for just 400 francs in 1890 — the same year he died.
Today, his works are worth millions and exhibited in the most prestigious museums around the world.

His story reminds us: recognition doesn’t always come right away — but true art endures. 💛

“Claude Monet’s Clever Trick in Women in the Garden” 🎨🌸

Impressionist artists are celebrated not only for their remarkable works but also for their unique sense of humor and playful personalities.

Take Claude Monet’s painting “Women in the Garden” (Femmes au Jardin) as an example. At first glance, it appears to depict several women enjoying a peaceful afternoon in the sun, leisurely walking and chatting amidst the flowers.

However, if you look closely, you’ll notice an interesting twist — all the women in the painting were modeled by Monet’s wife, Camille! Instead of using different models, Monet cleverly captured her in various poses, adding a charming and personal touch to his masterpiece. 🎨✨

🎨 "Girl with a Pearl Earring" by Johannes Vermeer

The artist painted "Girl with a Pearl Earring" around 1665 during the Dutch Golden Age.
Often called the "Mona Lisa of the North," this iconic 17th-century painting by Johannes Vermeer features a young girl wearing a blue and gold turban and a striking pearl earring. Her mysterious expression and the soft, glowing light make the portrait feel lifelike and intimate. Unlike traditional portraits, this painting is a tronie — a study of a character rather than a specific person.
