To understand a painting done by master artist is an act of showing deep interest in the art itself.
The skill and dexterity of the artists plays a great role in making a painting s interesting.
Let us take the example of a painting titled as 'Rubens Venus at Mirror' this is painted by Peter Paul Rubens (1577 - 1640), a Flemish baroque painter.
This painting is an example of how wonderfully the use of light against deep darkness can exaggerate the focus.
If we look at the artists of Renaissance period, we can see how the masters controlled their subjects using a little bright light to make the places they wanted us to focus on.
This technique helps to define the image.
Nude women painted by Rubes have power to steal the attention of the viewers; his paintings would emit a sound that had been embedded within the artworks by Ruben.
His paintings of flesh had worked on several levels simultaneously.
These paintings adore the beauty of bare body of women on one hand, and on another these works tell the mythological stories, too.
To describe the paintings done by Rubens, a special word was devised: 'Rubenesque'.
This word symbolized the paintings of women with heavy waist and ample bodied.
Rubens would paint a woman model in her natural beauty with voluptuousness and putting dimples on her flesh.
The Inspiration: After death of her first wife when Rubens was 53, he married Helen, his second wife.
At that time Helen was sixteen years of age only; and Ruben had made memorable paintings depicting her beauty.
We can see the charming beauty of Helen in Rubens' paintings titled The Garden of Love, The Three Graces and The Judgment of Paris.
