It is rather hard to find two people like Leonardo da Vinci (hereafter refers to da Vinci) and Peter Paul Rubens (hereinafter refers to Rubens) with a huge difference in creation and view of the world among the world painting masters. But they always have something in common.
However, it should be pointed out that da Vinci left us very limited paintings which we could count on our fingers. While Rubens's painting heritage is very rich. With an amazing speed, he drew huge paintings which were surprised by his contemporaries. Indeed, Rubens's creations got the help of his talented students and assistants. Both da Vinci and Rubens are not of noble birth. In their whole life, they were always despised by European dignitaries who were trying to find it easy to hide such feeling.
Details related to da Vinci's life and creation are always full of enigmatic unsolvable colors. The painter da Vinci's fate is not always logical, not always limited to what we are used to. But the great Vinci villagers have impressed all researchers from the beginning of his writing creation career, which has not been done by anyone.
About da Vinci, his contemporaries wrote, “Handsome, slender, graceful and charming.” The brilliant appearance of da Vinci can make everyone sad heart cheerful and his language can make any bigot show positive or negative attitude. He is able to make any kind of severe abnormal frenzy calm down. With his right hand, da Vinci can bend over the ring on the wall or horseshoe made of lead. Da Vinci can hold the most potent galloping horses and his thin, white, and woman-like fingers can put the coins broke it in half.
It is hard to imagine a more perfect young man like da Vinci. Da Vinci is handsome, strong, and intelligent. In addition he is a remarkable painter, but not long ago has successfully proved himself to be one of the masters in the biggest city of Italy. It is true that the combination of strong and vigorous creation will bear rich works. Let us see him from the advanced point of view. Da Vinci's life is not short and he has lived for 67 years. But until dying, it is sure that da Vinci’s paintings are less than 20 according to very fine inquiries. Moreover, many paintings and portraits have not been completed.
Da Vinci is a great explorer. His rarely warm is expressed in the exploration of extreme tension, but also in his surprisingly breadth in research field. In addition, the painter da Vinci always demands him to inquire into the root of the matter and understand their initiation stories. When human beings wake up from the long chaos of the middle ages, there are so many problems need to be faced and uncovered mysteries. Da Vinci is one of the first batch of awakening from the dream on the earth, and courageously and uncompromising devotes to the dark fight.
And the painting master Rubens is the extremely talented as well as the most contradictory master in the world painting history. He has a dual character. Rubens is an artist, a diplomat, a pragmatist and visionary. Rubens was born in the German city Siegen which was far away from Flanders. Throughout his childhood, Rubens had not seen his motherland. Reportedly, the child is the parent's shadow. Rubens's mother Maria Peibie Links is the most loyal wife of Penelope. She once saved his husband who once betrayed her from the edge of death. This was not that all daughters of Eve were able to do. She devoted all her love to her beloved Rubens and raised and educated her son in a foreign country. Later she used her slender means to support Rubens for study and travel to Italy, which made this future artist’s talent become mature. Maria told her son that the most important thing in the world was the love of life and loyalty. She died early and failed to embrace her son when dying. Because at that time, Rubens was on a journey because of entrust of the Duke of Mantua and had no time to attend her mother's funeral in Antwerp.
Rubens's father John Rubens was a lawyer with bold characters, who was born in a handicraftsman family. He was easy to fall in love with some people and did not satisfy the current situation. His romance with Prince William's wife Princess Isaacson Anna was a tragedy.
Rubens loves face. His parents are civilians who do not have the necessary contacts with the court nobility. Even the decorated ancient heraldic badge Shield logo can not conceal their origin humble. You may ask why with that? But the art master Rubens is unable to contain his vanity and try to make up the major flaw in his life. He spends the bulk of his time to complete the extremely secret mission that his master Isabella princess gave to him.
Rubens has a great many works. His works volume can surpass twenty or thirty people. And he is very pleased with himself. He once said, “I have such a talent that makes me undefeated by any hard jobs, from the number of works and quality of content.” Rubens is completely qualified, proudly and openly to boast of his ability.
In addition to being a painter, Rubens is also a great diplomat. When you read Rubens's biography, you will find that Rubens has frequently envied to visit foreign countries. Although Rubens is bothered by diplomatic duties, he can also shoulder the heavy burden to participate in true art activities. Rubens has left hundreds of works to people in his whole life. Such quantities of works are sufficient enough to make Rubens become the model of painters.
However, as a painter, Rubens is as same as da Vinci, an art master sharing prophetic visions and an explorer opening the “self” cosmic gate which nobody has seen before. This shocks us as we discover a new continent. After every audience’s discovery of new beauty, all can become Columbus or Vasco da Gama......However, when you appreciate the beauty of the world, don't forget the war which cannot be described by words, do not forget the imperceptible numerous feats as the foundation of masterpieces.
