Art
museums preserve numerous masterpieces / landscapes which
prove that art painting goes back thousands years. Even now we admire the

of years. Among the best known portraits /icons is The Trinity’ by
Andrey Rublyov, a portratist /painter who opened a new era in world painting.
The
works of painters, whether Italian, German, English, Dutch, Ukrainian, French
or Russian are always marked by a profound humanism and are reflected/
inspired by innovatory ideas.
The
names of the greatest impressionists / specialist realists
C. Monet, Renoir, Degas are well-known for their individual blossoming fields,
so beloved by Claud Monet, the world seems to be constantly changing and
shimmering.
Auguste
Renoir’s favourite theme /topic is the bright crowd of a merry Parisian festival. Painters Cezanne and Van Gogh portrayed / expressed in
their works the desire
to return to an integrated perception of world.
In
the middle of the nineteenth century Ukrainian art found itself under the
strong inspiration / influence of Taras Shevchenko’s art and verse. He created emotionally attractive
still life paintings / images and acquired his
own vision of Ukrainian folk / rural life.
Lovely Ukrainian natural scenes / sceneries

Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775-1851)
J.M.W. Turner, a great romantic English landscape
painter, was born in Devonshire, but when he was ten years old he went to live
with his uncle in Middlesex, where he began to attend school. Very soon he
began to take an interest in drawing, and during the summer holidays he would
hike around his native! Devonshire, painting and drawing. Some of his drawings
are dated 1787, when he was only 12 years of age. He I visited Oxford in 1789,
Bristol in 1791, and Wales in 1792. His sketch-books, filled with drawings to
be worked I up later into water-colours are preserved in the British 1 Museum.
In 1796 he began to exhibit oil paintings as well as
water-colours at the Royal Academy. The first, "Fishermen at Sea", is
now in the Tate Gallery.
After going to Yorkshire in 1797, to the Lake District
in 1798 and to Scotland in 1801, he made long tours of France, Germany,
Switzerland, Italy. But he never lost his interest in his own country, and made
many visits to Wales, Devonshire and Cornwall, finding there many subjects for
sketches and paintings.
Turner was above all a landscape painter, and in
landscapes he was interested mainly in light and colour effects. One of his
famous paintings is even called "Light and Colour". His work was
highly praised6 by many I great critics.

Paul's Cathedral. His pictures and drawings became the property of the nation.
