**Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci** (April 15, 1452 – May 2, 1519) was an Italian polymath, having been a scientist, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, painter, sculptor, architect, botanist, musician and writer. Born as the illegitimate son of a notary, Piero da Vinci, and a peasant girl, Caterina, at Vinci in the region of Florence, Leonardo was educated in the studio of the renowned Florentine painter, Verrocchio. Much of his earlier working life was spent in the service of Ludovico il Moro in Milan. He later worked in Rome, Bologna and Venice, spending his final years in France at the home given to him by King François I.

 * Pablo Picasso: ** Leading modern artist of the 20th Century. (1881-1973)

Pablo Picasso, born in a poor family in southern Spain in 1881, started as a child prodigy and ended as the acknowledged greatest painter of his century. Ever since he was a young boy he had a refined and prodigious skill of art. He moved around the country wherever his talents led him and was one of the most versatile artists to ever live. Picasso is characterized by his metamorphosis and continuous change in his works. He is famous for and played a part in the invention of cubism which turned out to be one of the greatest transformations in art since the renaissance.


 * Vincent van Gogh: ** Expressive Dutch master painter. (1853-1890)

 (March 30, 1853 - July 29, 1890) is generally considered the greatest Dutch painter after Rembrandt, though he had little success during his lifetime. Van Gogh produced all of his work (some 900 paintings and 1100 drawings) during a period of only 10 years before he succumbed to mental illness (possibly bipolar disorder) and committed suicide. His fame grew rapidly after his death especially following a showing of 71 of van Gogh's paintings in Paris on March 17, 1901 (11 years after his death).


 * Claude Monet: ** Famous French painter known as the father of Impressionism. (1840-1926)

Claude Monet was a founder and central figure of the 19th century art movement known as Impressionism. Early in his career, Monet painted realistic landscapes, but after the 1870s he focused more on the effect of changing light on everyday objects. Often he painted multiple studies of the same subjects, from train stations and haystacks to the London skyline, the Rouen Cathedral and, most famously, water lilies.
