Ghost Castle Glamle: And was he really? Portrait of a strange man written by an artist possessed.

There are works of art that seem to beat the viewer on the head, silent and amazing. Others are delayed in thought and in search of semantic layers, secret symbolism. Some paintings are sheaven by secrets and mystical riddles, while others surprise an exorbitant price.

We carefully viewed all the main achievements in world painting and chose two dozen more strange paintings from them. Salvador Dali, whose works completely fall under the format of this material and are the first to come to mind, did not intentionally included in this selection.

It is clear that "oddity" is a fairly subjective concept and for everyone there is their amazing paintings, knocking out of a number of other works of art. We will be glad if you share them in the comments and tell about them a bit.

"Creek"

Edward Munch. 1893, cardboard, oil, temperatures, pastel.
National Gallery, Oslo.

"Creek" is considered an iconic event of expressionism and one of the most famous paintings in the world.

There are two interpretations of the depicted: it is the hero himself covered by horror and silently shouts silently, pressing his hands to the ears; Or the hero closes the ears from the crying crying of peace and nature around the cry. Munk wrote four options "Cream", and there is a version that this picture is the fruit of a manic depressive psychosis, from which the artist suffered. After the course of treatment in the clinic, Munk was not returned to work on the web.

"I went on a path with two friends. The sun was sake - unexpectedly the sky became bloody-red, I suspended, feeling exhausted, and leaned about the fence - I looked at blood and flame languages \u200b\u200bover a bluish-black fjord and the city. My friends went further, and I stood, trembled from excitement, feeling an endless cry, piercing nature, "Edward Munk said about the history of the painting.

"Where did we come from? Who are we? Where are we going?"

Paul Gajen. 1897-1898, canvas, oil.
Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

At the direction of the Mogen itself, the picture should be read right to left - the three main groups of figures illustrate the questions set in the title.

Three women with a child represent the beginning of life; medium group symbolizes the daily existence of maturity; In the final group, according to the artist, "the old woman approaching death seems to be reconciled and preparing his reflections," her legs "a strange white bird ... represents the uselessness of words."

The deep-philosophical picture of the post-functions of the Gaugaen field was written to them on Tahiti, where he escaped from Paris. At the end of the work, he wanted to even end the life of suicide: "I believe that this canice exceeds all my previous ones and that I will never create something better or even similar." He lived for another five years, and it turned out.

"Gernik"

Pablo Picasso. 1937, canvas, oil.
Queen Sofia Museum, Madrid.

"Gernika" presents scenes of death, violence, atrocities, suffering and helplessness, without specifying their direct reasons, but they are obvious. They say that in 1940 Pablo Picasso was called to Gestapo in Paris. Speech immediately went about the picture. "Did you do it?" "No, you did it."

The huge cloth-fresco "Gernika", written by Picasso in 1937, talks about the tax of the volunteer division of Luftwaffe to the city of Herront, as a result of which the sixdiest city was completely destroyed. The picture was written literally for the month - the first days of work on the picture Picasso worked for 10-12 hours, and in the first sketches you could see the main idea. This is one of the best illustrations of the nightmare of fascism, as well as human cruelty and grief.

"Portrait of Arnolphin Fours"

Jan Van Eyk. 1434, wood, oil.
London National Gallery, London.

The famous painting is entirely filled with symbols, allegories and a variety of references - up to the signature "Yang Van Eyk was here", which turned the picture not just into the work of art, and in the historical document confirming the reality of the event on which the artist was present.

Portrait of presumably Giovanni di Nikolao Arnolphin and his wife is one of the most difficult works of the Western School of Painting of the Northern Renaissance.

In Russia, in the past few years, the picture has gained great popularity thanks to the portrait similarity of Arnolphin with Vladimir Putin.

"Demon Sitting"

Mikhail Vrubel. 1890, canvas, oil.
State Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow.

"Hands oppose to him"

Bill Stonehem. 1972.

This work, of course, cannot be counted for the masterpieces of world painting, but the fact that it is strange is a fact.

Around the painting with a boy, doll and palms, pressed against the glass, go legends. From "because of this picture dying" to "the children on it are alive." It looks like a painion and terrible, which creates a lot of fears and speculations in people with a weak psyche.

The artist assured that he was depicted in the picture himself at the age of five, that the door is the representation of the dividing line between real Mir and the world of dreams, and the doll is a conductor who can spend the boy through this world. Hands represent alternative lives or opportunities.

The picture gained fame in February 2000, when it was put up for sale on eBay with the background, telling that the picture is "with ghosts". "Hands oppose to him" bought for $ 1025 Kim Smith, which was then simply littered with letters with terrible stories and the demands to burn the picture.

To understand any sample of art, you need to have extensive knowledge in the field of history, religion, mythology and literature. It is they who help to decipher the fact that they hide minor details, and find out why some artists are improving their canvas with decades, while others draw some paintings on top of others.

Author website She promoted not one hour on the websites of museums to tell about the masterpieces of painting, in which everything is not so simple, as it seems at first glance. And at the end of the article, a bonus is waiting for you: "The portrait of Mrs. Liza Del Jocondo" is one of the most mysterious paintings in the world - has many "twins".

Unknown artist "Portrait of Isabella Medici"

The portrait of the era of the revival of the brush of an unknown artist was discovered by chance. Initially, art historians believed that this is a skillful fake of a medieval picture. But it turned out that the portrait was rewritten in the XIX century. An outstanding nose, a high forehead and large chin hide under the layers of paint - the face of the medieval aristocrat turned into a pretty face of young coquetki to sell the cloth.

Using X-ray managed to learn how the woman was depicted originally. Restorers layer on the layer shot paint, leading a picture into a prime appearance.

Ilya Repin "Ivan Grozny and Son His Ivan on November 16, 1581"

Repin wrote a picture of his feelings from the events around him. They inspired him to create a canvas of Suite "Revenge" of the Roman Corsakov and the death of Alexander II. Cesarevich's murder scene completely reflected interior Repin. I had an idea for 3 years.

For a long time, he could not fold the images into a single whole, until he left for Spain and did not visit the Corrid there. The artist saw the sands filled with blood, and the views of bulls, full hatred and pain. Then the plan and took shape completely. Repin was obsessed with his work, at night he dreamed of the scenes of the murder and pursued various visions. Friends saved him from madness.

Francisco Goya "Portrait of Don Ramon Satu"

According to one of the versions, the artist portrayed the drama of his life. The bride is none other than Praskova Matveeva Varenzova - a failed bride of Pukirev, and the old-year groom - the leader of the Tver Nobility, Alexey Markovich Poltoratsky.

If you carefully look at the canvas, then you can see the groom behind your back. Why is she in a white dress and with a wreath on his head? After all, such an outfit is characteristic of the bride. Scientists suggest that this soul ruined the first wife was on wedding.

Pablo Picasso "Blue Room"

In 2008, after X-ray study, art historians found a hidden image under the "blue room" - portrait of an old man in a suit with a butterfly. Picasso had a lot of ideas, but did not always have enough money to buy a new canvas. Therefore, he wrote some paintings on top of others.

Alexander Ivanov "The Phenomenon of Christ People"

To create your own famous work Ivanov drew 600 sketches, spent 20 years of life, and posed him dozens of simulars. But among them there is one who is not inferior to the artist - this is Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol. A man in the background, standing in the captivity in Brown Hiton, and there is a famous writer. Nikolai Vasilyevich was another artist and often visited Ivanov's studio.

Sandro Botticelli "Spring"

It would seem how taitsy and christmas are connected? Paul Gaughene was never religious, but rather was agnostic than an atheist. In Tahiti, the artist became interested in biblical plots. He even released the treatise "Modernity and the Catholic Church."

During this period, the beloved Gogen Pahura from the Maori tribe gave birth to his son. The moment of birth and captured the master. Soon the child of Pahura and Gauguen dies. This is a tragic event for Christmas.

Gustave Kourba "Dress Up Bride"

Realist Gustave Kourbe depicted daily life And household scenes: funeral, work weaver, afternoon sleep, rustic girls. The picture "Dressage of the Bride" could be a pass-through work in the works of Kourbe, if it were not interested in art historians.

In 1960, she was investigated using infrared rays and found out that in fact there is no bride. The heroine is naked, and the girls around it are dressed in black dresses. It turned out that it was originally a canvas called "Preparing a Dead Girl".

Hans Holbain "Ambassador"

Golbaine depicted 2 real ambassadors - Jean de Denthelev and Bishop Georges de Selva. The objects in the background are talking about the dispute of the clergy and science. This is evidenced by a broken lute, an open psaltry, a globe, sundial and books on arithmetic.

In the foreground, a strange and incomprehensible stain is visible - it is a distorted skull that symbolizes death. If you look at the canvas directly, then it seems to be ordinary, and the skull is incomprehensible: death, according to the author's plan, is something that does not matter. But if you look at a different angle, then death becomes a reality that distorts usual things.

Ilya Repin "Nun"

Art historians have been tormented by the question for a long time: why is the nun like a brother Repin's wife Sofia Shvetsov? The answer was found in the diaries of the artist. Initially, Repin wrote portrait Women in a battle dress. But when the work was over, Ilya and Sofia were collapsed. The master was very offended and immediately rewrote the picture. Now, instead of a beautiful dress on the Schvetova, there was a nun, and the fan changed the rosary.

To confirm assumptions, the image was missed through an x-ray. It turned out that Repin rewrite the portrait without removing the old paint.

Jacques-Louis David "Death of Marat"

The picture refers to the early work of the Vermeer. It would seem, not a remarkable plot: a young girl looks out the window. But there is a hidden subtext. Apples in the fruit vase symbolize the fall of Adam and Eve, and the open window - the desire to break free.

But these are not all the secrets of the canvas. With the help of radiography, it was possible to find out that the wall was originally an image of Cupid, which artist for some reason crushed.

Mikhail Vrubel "Demon Sitting" and "Demon Potion"

Vrubel argued that his "sitting demon" is not a devil, it's a soul. After all, this is how the word "demon" from Greek translates. This is proud free personality, opposed to the world. "Demon defeated" broken and weak. He is a reflection of the author's madness. Mental condition Vrubel gradually worsened, he rewritten several times the picture. He was tormented by insomnia, he was obsessed with his work.

The canvas bought a famous collector Vladimir von Mecc. Vrubel went into the roar, tranched the money received, drank a lot and fell on his wife. The symptoms of the psychic disorder of the artist were hospitalized in a private clinic.

Frida Kalo "Bus"

When Fridet was 17, she fell into an accident. The bus in which the girl rushed, faced a tram. The future artist received multiple injuries (a triple fracture of the spine, the fracture of the hip, ribs, etc.), because of which he could not have children. Memories of the accident tormented Fritud throughout his life.

(1) Higher, which man can achieve is wisdom.

(2) Wisdom would have to become a school subject, she should be taught. (3) more precisely, to wisdom to take carelessly - as cautiousness of judgment, abstaining from insufficiently substantiated statements, the ability to take into account many factors, relying on what is born of a variety historical experience.

(4) This is more than knowledge. (5) This is also intuition, and disgust to self-deception. (6) The wise man is never sophisticated: he does not consider the final results of reflection, he allows them to be mistaken, comparing them with just opposite statements and finding gaps in what seemed obvious.

(7) Wisdom needs knowledge, but does not boil down to them. (8) Someone may know, let's say all the varieties of butterflies and do not mean anything in the problems of ecology. (9) Do not even be interested in them. (10) In this case, a person misses the connection of a separate butterfly with a device of the world.

(11) Knowledge answer the question "Why?", And information is only on questions "What? Where? When? How?". (12) Knowledge consists of "understanding" and is the property of science. (13) Knowledge needs information, but does not boil down - it is higher, because it knows how to check the accuracy of the information.

(14) Knowledge in the European, and now in the global scientific tradition always opposed the opinion. (15) Opinion is just some attitude towards something, and knowledge is, I repeat, understanding the pattern. (16) It is important not so much to defend your opinion as much as it is to think that it has been proven, at least sought to become knowledge. (17) The desire to encourage unreasonable opinions in every way as an end in itself is very dangerous for a growing person. (18) It is not enough to think separately - it is necessary to think right.

Let's start, perhaps, with the most infamous painting - "The Hands Resist Him", Bill Stonehem. She "became famous" that she was called "the most ghost picture in the world."

In 1972, when Stonehem lived with his wife in California, he worked under a contract with the Charles Fagerten gallery. According to the contract, the artist was supposed to create two pictures per month. The deadline for the work was approached by an end, and Stonehem decided to write a picture by taking his old photos as a basis, where he was 5 years old. He called this picture in honor of the poem, which his wife wrote for the very same Stonehem (the poem was about the fact that Bill was adopted by the child, and he never knew anything about their biological parents). As a result, it turned out an image depicting a boy, next to which a terrible doll without an eye. According to Stonehem, the boy is he himself at the age of 5, and the doorway in the picture is the barrier between the real world (where the hands of hands are depicted) and the world of Greaz. The doll is the conductor into the world of fantasies. As for the hands, the artist mysteriously said: "Hands could mean anything ... But, you will definitely have a question: is it that hands without a body? The body was dismembered, and the brushes of the hands themselves? Or are they still in place, with the body? "

The picture was put in the Feanjart Gallery in Beverly Hills, California. This picture was mentioned in Los Angeles Times in Art Henry Seldis Arters. At this exhibition, the picture attracted the attention of actor John Marley, who played the role of Jack Wolz to " Cross Father" She liked him so much that he decided to buy it. For one year after creating the picture, three people died at once: art historian Seldis, galleryist Feyngarten and actor Marley. After that, the picture seems to have disappeared until in 2000 the couple did not find it someone left behind the brewery (which was turned into an art space to the word) everything in the same California.

They took this picture by considering her for a good acquisition. In February of the same year, they put it on sale on Ebay, explaining that this picture carries horror, and in general she is cursed and ghosts come out of it. Their announcement was more like a warning than an ad. Fully written by S. capital letters And with errors, this announcement contained a mini-story about why they decided to get rid of the painting. According to the couple of their 4-year-old daughter told that he saw as at night the children from the paintings went into the room and began to fight. The woman herself (mother's mother) does not believe in UFOs and similar things, but her husband decided to install the chamber. The camera removed three nights in a row. In the end, the couple took pictures confirming their daughter. In the photo they put on eBay, the doll allegedly holds a gun, threatening the boy. Couple also asked not to make a claim after purchasing a picture.

This ad was viewed more than 30,000 times. In the comments, people wrote that they became bad as soon as they saw these photos. Some tried to print them, but the printer gave an error or broke. Some claimed that when watching the photo felt warm air flows, which wrapped around them, whispering them in the ear of various things with children's voices. And someone even set fire to the sage to clean his living room from evil spirits after watching the page on eBay.

As a result, the picture I bought Kim Smith for $ 1025, the owner of Perception Gallery in Michigan. A year later, the site of the paranormal phenomena contacted Smith and did something paranormal inquired after the purchase of this picture or not.
