Dutch painter, generally considered the greatest after&nbsp;Rembrandt van Rijn, and one of the greatest of the&nbsp;Post-Impressionists. The striking colour, emphatic brushwork, and&nbsp;contoured&nbsp;forms of his work powerfully influenced the current of&nbsp;Expressionism&nbsp;in modern art.

Van Gogh’s art became astoundingly popular after his death, especially in the late 20th century, when his work sold for record-breaking sums at auctions around the world and was featured in blockbuster touring exhibitions.

He lived in Spain but he was from Crete, a greek island. "El Greco" was a nickname, a reference to his Greek origin, and the artist normally signed his paintings with his full birth name in Greek letters, Δομήνικος Θεοτοκόπουλος,&nbsp;Doménikos Theotokópoulos, often adding the word Κρής&nbsp;Krēs, Cretan

El Greco's dramatic and expressionistic style was met with puzzlement by his contemporaries but found appreciation by the 20th century. El Greco is regarded as a precursor of both Expressionism and Cubism, while his personality and works were a source of inspiration for poets and writers such as Rainer Maria Rilke and Nikos Kazantzakis.&nbsp;

He is best known for tortuously elongated figures and often fantastic or phantasmagorical pigmentation, marrying Byzantine traditions with those of Western painting.

Pablo Ruiz Picasso (1881-1973) was a Spanish painter and sculptor, creator, along with Georges Braque and Juan Gris, of the cubist movement.

Tireless and prolific, he painted more than two thousand works currently present in museums and collections throughout Europe and the world.

Maramures is the area to see the art of woodwork.Homes are trimmed in elaborately carved wood, wooden gates and even fences are intricately carved. Historically, in this area, a family's community status was displayed through the gate – the more elaborate, the more important the family. The "Merry Cemetery" of Sapanta is in this region, open all year long, at all times -- it's worth a visit. Hand-carved decorations in complex patterns hold meanings beyond the purely decorative. Trees of life, twisted rope, moons, stars, flowers and wolf teeth to ward off evil spirits are associated with myths and superstitions. They show up in furniture, spoons, ladles, walking sticks, keepsake chests and other decorative objects, sometimes embellished with paint. Wooden flutes and recorders are also elaborately carved. Most prized are the multi-piped pan flutes, which are now very rare, as few artisans know how to make them and even fewer know how to play them

One of his most famous works in Croatia is Gregory of Nin, or in Croatian: Grgur Ninski.&nbsp;

After the war, he moved to the United States where he spent the rest of his life presenting his work and lecturing as a professor at an university in New York.&nbsp;

Meštrović died in 1962 at the age of 79. Nowadays, he is a very famous and much esteemed Croatian artist all over the world.&nbsp;

Gregory of Nin was the chancellor of the Croatian royal court and one of the most important bishops of Nin (900 - 929). In Croatia, there are three Mestrović's sculptures of Gregory of Nin. Each one is placed in different city. There is a belief, that if you touch the thumb of the Gregory of Nin and make a wish, it will come true for you. The hands of people who touched the thumb polished it to golden shine.&nbsp;

BRUNO ZENOBIO: MOSAIC ARTIST

Bruno Zenobio&nbsp;lives in Roseto in the region of Abruzzo and is famous all around the world&nbsp;for his beautiful mosaics. This form of art decorates surfaces and is made with small coloured "tessera", that together form pictures or patterns. Zenobio says that his mosaics, originate from an impromptu inspiration. The first step is to prepare a sketch and then draw and colour it. After this idea, he chooses the materials that can be marble, granite, glass paste and gold leaves but also wood and random objects found around him. After that the artist cuts the "tessera", each one of them has to reflect light, that is the mix of natural light and sham light. Finally he puts the tiles one by one on a layer previously spread on panels on which the drawing is shown. The particular thing that Zenobio does is that he create&nbsp;mosaics even from objects like a glass bottle or fragments of tiles. One of his&nbsp;most famous masterpieces, is in a Church called “Sacro cuore”in his hometown, where there are&nbsp;400 mosaics on 650 square metres.&nbsp;He confessed that he is proud of it and it was really hard&nbsp;work.

Masks are linked to folk festivals held predominantly in Maramures and Moldavia. Typically made from the hides of sheep, goats or cows, the masks are adorned with fabric, hats, pompoms, metallic bits, feathers, beans, straw and animal horns to represent bears and goats, they're traditionally worn to welcome in the New Year during a couple weeks in December and early January

The oldest preserved Romanian glass dates back to the Roman Empire. Currently, there is a renewed passion for creating art in blown glass and several contemporary Romanian glass artists enjoy world renown. Most of the professional glass artists are clustered in the northeast, near Botosani. Glass artisans are also employed in factories located in Avrig, Turda and Buzau, turning out molded, hand-carved and hand-blown pieces, many of which are museum quality

The most readily recognizable examples of Romanian art are the famed painted eggs, especially prominent around Easter time. Painting of real hollowed-out eggs was an integral part of preparations for this festival of renewal. Women and children gathered in someone's home and spent a day painting and gossiping.

Intricate patterns were actually secret languages known only to residents of the regions where they were painted. The oldest known were painted with aqua fortis (nitric acid) on a traditional red background. They're available in nearly all shops and street markets.

Jan Matejko (1838-1893) - Did someone say painting? There's no way to miss this painter&nbsp;and even saying only painter is not enough. He was one of the biggest polish patriots with&nbsp;over 300 paintings. His works were mainly about battles and wars, becouse he lived during&nbsp;the occupation and uprising. Matejko was using art to support Poland, and raise hope in&nbsp;people, so his paintings weren't very historically correct. His style of painting was similar to&nbsp;art in the Renaissance period with a visible Gothic inspiration, he was known for placing&nbsp;many&nbsp;persons&nbsp;in&nbsp;his&nbsp;paintings.&nbsp;Take&nbsp;a&nbsp;look&nbsp;on&nbsp;some&nbsp;of&nbsp;his works:

Initially only five colors were used in the decorations, with all the various shades, without red, which was introduced at the end&nbsp;of the 18th century by Gesualdo Fuina of Loreto Aprutino. Since 1984, Castelli’s ceramics were kept in the Castelli museum, but due to the earthquake in L’Aquila in 2009, that building is unusable and the artpieces are currently in a municipal building.&nbsp; Now the ceramic art of Castelli is preserved in art schools such as&nbsp;“Liceo artistico Francesco Antonio Grue”, whose teachers and students created the giant Nativity placed in St Peter's Square in Rome at Christmas 2020.

Castelli is a small village in Abruzzo famous for its ceramic art in Italy and abroad with important collections in the Hermitage museum in St. Petersburg.&nbsp; These ceramics have very ancient origins, but became popular only in the 16th century, thanks to their bright decorations and low cost.&nbsp; Different families made ceramics, but the most famous is the&nbsp;Grue family, with Carlo Antonio Grue and his son Aurelio Anselmo.

Romanian pottery is still made mainly on traditional kick-wheels with simple finishing tools. Shapes, sizes and patterns reflect the different clays and cultures of diverse areas where are produced. Color glazes and decorations vary from strong geometrics, to delicate florals, animals and humans. There are approximately 30 pottery centers throughout the country, each with its own distinctive style, but the main areas are in Horezu in Oltenia; Miercurea-Ciuc and Corund in western Transylvania; Baia Mare near the northern border, and Radauti and Marginea in Moldavia

Students of team 4 have prepared an e-book&nbsp;with traditional visual arts.&nbsp;

While technically textiles, these deserve their own category, because no other textiles so dramatically reflect their regions of origin. As varied as different areas' attractions, so too are the rugs that are displayed on surrounding fences. Most are flat-weave kilims, probably introduced centuries ago by the controlling Ottoman Empire. Today's hand-weavers mix traditional vegetable-dyed yarns with commercial aniline-dyed yarns to produce startling accents within traditional patterns and colors. Rugs from Oltenia reflect nature, with flowers, trees and birds. Those of Moldavia have patterns of little branches repeated in rows to create a tree of life. Rugs from Maramures tend to have geometric shapes, resembling those from Turkey and the Caucasian mountains.
