Product Description

Product Description
between the 16th and 20th centuries. This CD is invaluable in its contents, for where else could one view the best works of over 200 painters and sculptors at the mere press of a key? A kaleidoscope of landscapes, still life, portraits, frescos and sculptures seems to unfold in a never-ending stream as you browse through image after image of astonishing quality. You will witness the outstanding paintings of Michelangelo da Caravaggio, who was a religious mystic, brutal criminal, ambitious careerist, and of course, brilliant painter. Polish artist Abakanowicz, whose works are included here began as a brilliant painter but later switched to sculptural works of great monumentality and expressiveness. The works of Francis Bacon (1909-1992), the eminent British painter known for his large, colorful, and grotesque paintings of the human body, are mesmerizing and thought provoking. Equally fascinating are the works of renowned artists like William Blake, Lucian Freud the grandson of Sigmund Freud, Guston who deliberately adopted an unrefined comic-book style, Italian Master Raffaello Santi, Rossetti who was torn between his twin loves of poetry and painting, and Ucello, most of whose paintings have been destroyed or are in poor condition. Ucello's works are notable for their rich, decorative panoply, for their solid, wooden toy like figures and for the experiments he made in foreshortening. No collection of masterpieces can, however, be complete without the works of the 15th century Italian genius Michelangelo Buonarroti, and this CD gives full credit to the master by including 37 of his best works.
