Everyone loves the works of famous artists like Van Gogh, Degas and Michelangelo.  Did you know that their artwork is even more beautiful in tapestry form?  Well, it is.  Seriously.  The woven texture gives the piece a whole new dimension…the third dimension.  The images really pop out at you. 

For example, take a look at this version of Monet’s Garden at Giverny Pond tapestry.  Doesn’t it look almost real?  The depth of the water and the many many layers of color and foliage…breathtaking. 

The same goes with this Self Portrait of Van Gogh tapestry – it almost looks better than the original painting!

March is a big month for artists. I feel that it is important to celebrate the births of these creative people. Their vision and talent changed how people viewed art and beauty…not to mention making the world a more beautiful place.

Michelangelo was born March 6, 1475. Most people have heard of him or have seen his work. His artistic influence has been carried on for centuries…and for good reason. His use of light and shadow helped him create a depth to paintings that would otherwise look flat and uninspired. His most famous painting was The Creation which is a section of his famous Sistine Chapel mural. Painted on the high domed ceiling of the Chapel, this extensive work of art is certainly considered his Magnus Opus.

Another wonderful artist born in March was Vincent Van Gogh. He was born March 30, 1853. The beauty of his paintings continues to inspire young artists even today. Among his many famous works, Cathedral and Chambre are perhaps the most recognizable. The use of color, shading and perspective make these works truly exceptional and unique.
