Two Pieces of Art





This painting in some ways are the same, but by different artist and style. To the left The Mona Lisa by Fernando Botero a Colombian Painter, to the right The Mona Lisa by Leonardo Da Vinci. The idea of these two paintings is the same, a beautiful

woman that is standing to be paint, the colors are pretty much the same the only different is made the time of one of them. Even though they transmit the same idea, they show us beauty with different eyes and volume. In art we can find many paintings as these that share a few things, but at the same moment they show so much contrast and that is what make art different and special. The other different that we can found is the time between the painters one of them is a contemporary artist and the other one of the famous painters of the Italian Renaissance.

Fernando Botero is on of my favorite painters not just because he is from my country, but he show beauty with different emphasis in a world where to be thin is an icon of the beauty.

This a great comparison, I had never seen the painting of Botero; it's very interesting.
