At Paints n Cocktails, we have seen our customers create some truly beautiful paintings, and we could not be more proud of them! But while we love seeing our painters express their creativity on canvas, we are equally passionate about painting in the wider sense. For this blog, we are going to detail some of the most famous paintings in the world, and what makes them so unique. We hope this inspires you to create your own masterpiece!

1. Birth Of Venus: Painted by Sandro Botticelli around 1485, this gorgeous depiction of the goddess Venus is one of the great works of the Renaissance.
2. Water Lilies: This is actually a series of paintings at over 250! They are a prototypical example of impressionist paintings and one of Monet’s great masterpieces.
3. The Scream: A classic example of the counterpart movement to impressionism, Edvard Munch’s “The Scream” is one of the most well known expressionist paintings.
4. Girl With The Pearl Earring: Also known as the “Dutch Mona Lisa,” Johannes Vermeer’s classic painting is perhaps most famous for its sense of mystery. Very little is known about the painting or the circumstances of its creation.
5. The Chauvet Cave Paintings: At almost 30,000 years old, the Chauvet paintings are a bit of an unconventional addition to our list, but we thought they deserved inclusion. One of the oldest examples of symbolic painting, they beautifully depict animals of the Ice Age.
6. Number 31, 1950: Jackson Pollack perfectly channeled the chaos and anxiety of the 50s. He would put on fast jazz, flinging paint at a canvas for hours in a frenzy of improvisational creation.
7. Guernica: Perhaps Picasso’s greatest painting, this cubist masterpiece depicts the chaos of the bombing of Guernica.
8. The Creation Of Adam: Peerless in its scale and masterful in its artistry, Michelangelo’s sprawling mural on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel is one of the most well-known pieces of the High Renaissance.
9. The Mona Lisa: It may be obvious, but it is simply too important to leave out! Leonardo da Vinci’s enigmatic portrait is, simply put, the most well known work of art in the world.
