Painters Leonardo da Vinci (2): an unrepentant procrastinator.

 

In his 67 years of existence, Leonardo da Vinci finally left few paintings to posterity. Leonardo da Vinci produced only about fifteen paintings over his entire life. However, it should be noted that some works have been lost. However some works have been lost. It should be known that this great artist carried out many tests and trials of new techniques, procedures, methods: which took him a lot of time. In addition, he listed everything in his notes and notebooks. He completed them with numerous illustrations, drawings and diagrams to experiment with new techniques. He was overflowing with imagination, as can be seen in his notebooks, writings and drawings. An unrepentant procrastinator, he worked for 15 years on a project that would never come to fruition: a project for an equestrian statue in homage to Father Ludovico Sforza. (Source: Geo.fr)

  • Christmas bauble to customise with an artwork-Top 10 – €9.90
    on 28 May 2023 at 7 h 23 min

    It is towards the end of the Middle Ages that traces of Christmas baubles can be found in French manuscripts in the department of Bas-Rhin in France, more exactly in Sélestat. This tradition spread to Germany where the trees were decorated with flowers, fruits and especially apples. Fir trees appeared on church forecourts in the Middle Ages and are a reminder of the tree of lost paradise. However, one of the trees that keeps its leaves or thorns is the fir tree. Church obliges, these trees are decorated with hosts, apples and round pastry. The first ornamental Christmas baubles hung in Christmas trees appeared in the 19th century around 1830 and were made by glass blowers and were called “Kugel”. The Christmas ball was considered a grigri, a good-luck charm against evil spirits. To make shiny Christmas balls, craftsmen used mercury or silver nitrate in their blown glass.   Today we offer you to decorate these Christmas baubles with a work of art, but not just any work of art, a reproduction of a work of art chosen from among the most popular paintings. Offering this Christmas bauble with a reproduction of a work of art is really the ideal unusual gift, a kdo idea for mum, for grandma.

    StampingStamping is a technique for manufacturing and modifying objects from a flat, thin sheet of metal (a piece of metal obtained by rolling) whose shape cannot be developed from a mould (e.g. a one-piece car body). The raw material that has not yet been stamped is called Becker. Stamping is a technique widely used in the household appliances industry. Stamping is a technique of “plastic” deformation of the material: elongation or local constriction of the sheet to obtain the desired shape. Stamping is done with very powerful presses.  Gifts-custopolis.com proposes metal tins with a lid that can be personalised with different decorations: Mother’s Day, Secretaries’ Day or professional birthdays, with an unforgettable holiday photo or with a photo of whoever you want.  A white metal box personalised as a birthday gift, an unusual birthday gift idea, is already very nice, but decorated with a work of art on the lid it becomes totally unexpected, birthday gifts for a work of art enthusiast!
