Famous historical artworks

Each of those people who are interested in art has probably been to an art history museum at least once. The very term “history” refers to the description of something. It is usually a description of significant events or personalities. It is not surprising that historical art pieces usually depict significant things. At a certain stage of development, historical fiction art was spread, as this genre existed in close connection with religious art. Artists, especially during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, turned to biblical themes. Sometimes even real historical figures were depicted as heroes of myths, legends or biblical stories.

The following can be named among the most famous works of art:

a historical artwork, which belongs to Pablo Picasso and reminds us of the horror of war, “Guernica”;
a historical piece of art by Vasiliy Vereshchagin — “Apotheosis of War”;
a historic artwork by the French artist Eugène Delacroix — “Freedom on the Barricades”, etc.

It should be added that the greatest works of art on the theme of war were often commissioned by famous personalities. For example, such artists as Jacques-Louis David and Eugène Delacroix specialized in depicting historical figures in art. Individual portraits were ordered by rich people and patrons. So, the entire series of art work paintings depicting the Medici family at different stages of its reign is known. In addition, the art history movement includes various currents that exist within the framework of historical art painting, namely:

religious art;
allegorical works;
mythological works;
works on plots from literature;
actual historical works of art.
