Live is just full of wonders


Every time when we are fed up about life and wish it could just end that way, well, we should consider twice as there are lot's of factors why we should live on. First of all, for those art colic, to die without seeing famous pieces of art is just not worth it. It can even be considered as a remorseful death. That's why we should live as there are tonnes of magnificent things on earth for us to see.

First off is the Mona Lisa. I am sure everyone of you know about this famous masterpiece drawn by Leonardo Da Vinci. Now, all of you might be thinking why on earth could this simple painting be so famous? Well, the answer is actually quite simple. After doing some investigation, it was found out that no matter at what angle you looked at the painting of Mona Lisa(also known as La Gioconda), she will always stare back at you with a smile. Creepy eh...but it really gives you the chill when you decide to go to Musee Du Louvre to see it during the night time. Some witnesses said it was alive..*goosebumps*

Besides the Mona Lisa, Da Vinci also created another famous painting and that one is "The Virgin of The Rock". It's really a fine art once you set your eyes on it as the selection of the color is just perfect. It gives you the feeling that Mary is actually moving. Here's the masterpiece.
Ok, lets stop talking about Da Vinci. Why not we go to Michelangelo? Michelangelo also painted a lot of famous paintings but he was more devoted towards sculptures. One of his most renowned sculptures were "David", "Mary and Baby Jesus" and "Piete".

This is piete. It shows Mary embracing Jesus in her arms after Jesus was crucified.

And here we have Mary and Jesus. As you can see, this church is beautifully built and decorated. When I obtain the chance, I will come here personally to see it. They even say you can see the signature of Michelangelo on the sculpture.

Vuala! Here's David. It shows the manliness of man and that man were born with a beautiful body. Hehe. Sorry female readers. No offenses. Thanks for understanding.

Besides excelling in sculpture, Michelangelo was also a renowned painter and his work of art was considered as leveling off with the works of Leonardo Da Vinci. For example, Michelangelo was able to paint the whole ceiling of Sistine Chapel in just four years. All of you might think:"So what? I can also paint a ceiling of a church in 4 years. What's the big deal?" If you think this way then you ought to think again.This is the painting on the ceiling of Sistine Chapel. Try to paint that in four years. To top things up, all those paintings were imagined inside Michel's brain so all of the figures in the painting is considered original.

I am sure everyone is well aware of this one. This is called "The creation of man". It is one of the more outstanding artwork located on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.

So, to put it simply, we still can't be fed up yet as there's still too many things for us to view with our own naked eyes. The above paintings and sculptures are solid proof why we can't give up. If Michelangelo and Leonardo had given up due to the extreme difficulty in painting out this masterpiece, then we, the future generation won't even have the slightest chance of witnessing it. Well, that's all from me today. The next post will be concerning something marvelous on this earth. It will leave you speechless...hehe *grin*.
