2. 1. Leonardo da Vinci
Leonardo da Vinci ( ), Florentine artist, one of the great masters of the High Renaissance, celebrated as a painter, sculptor, architect, engineer, and scientist.
His profound love of knowledge and research was the keynote of both his artistic and scientific endeavours.
His innovations in the field of painting influenced the course of Italian art for more than a century after his death, and his scientific studies— particularly in the fields of anatomy, optics, and hydraulics—anticipated many of the developments of modern science.
His famous painting was Mona Lisa. Mona Lisa ( , Louvre, Paris) was Leonardo da Vinci’s favourite painting. Many theories have been advanced regarding the meaning of the enigmatic smile on the woman’s face and the identity of the sitter.

3. 2. Rembrandt Harmenszoon Van Rijn
Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn ( ), Dutch painter, draughtsman, and etcher who is considered the greatest Dutch artist, not only as a painter of religious scenes and portraits but also as a draughtsman and innovative etcher of formidable ability.
Rembrandt was born in Leiden on July 15, 1606, the son of a prosperous miller, and was educated at the Latin school there. He subsequently enrolled at Leiden University but stayed only six months and in 1620 began a three-year apprenticeship as a painter with Jacob van Swanenburgh.
Far more important for his future development, however, were the six months spent with Pieter Lastman in Amsterdam in 1625 or Lastman had spent the years 1604 to 1607 in Italy and had assimilated important new ideas derived from contemporary painters there such as Elsheimer and Caravaggio.
The Night Watch (1642, Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam), Rembrandt's most famous picture, shows the militia company emerging from its headquarters and heading for a ceremonial parade. The group portrait, whose proper title is The Company of Captain Frans Banning Cocq and Lieutenant Willem van Ruytenburch, was commissioned by the Amsterdam Guards.

4. 3. RAJA RAVI VERMA
Raja Ravi Varma Koil Thampuran (29 April 1848 – 2 October 1906) was a celebrated Indian painter and artist. He is considered among the greatest painters in the history of Indian art for a number of aesthetic and broader social reasons. Firstly, his works are held to be among the best examples of the fusion of European techniques with a purely Indian sensibility.
While continuing the tradition and aesthetics of Indian art, his paintings employed the latest European academic art techniques of the day. Secondly, he was notable for making affordable lithographs of his paintings available to the public, which greatly enhanced his reach and influence as a painter and public figure. Indeed, his lithographs increased the involvement of common people with fine arts and defined artistic tastes among common people for several decades. In particular, his depictions of Hindu deities and episodes from the epics and Puranas have received profound acceptance from the public and are found, often as objects of worship, across the length and breadth of India.
Raja Ravi Varma was closely related to the royal family of Travancore in the deep south of India (Kerala and Tamil Nadu). Later in his life, two of his granddaughters were adopted into that royal family, and their descendants comprise the totality of the present royal family of Travancore, including the latest three Maharajas (Balarama Varma III, Marthanda Varma III and Ram Varma VII).

5. 4. MF Husain
MaqboolFida Husain (17 September 1915 – 9 June 2011) commonly known as MF Husain, was a modern Indian painter of international acclaim, and a founding member of The Progressive Artists Group of Bombay (PAG).
Husain was associated with Indian modernism in the 1940s. His early association with the Progressive Artist's Group, or "PAG of Bombay" used modern technique, and was inspired by the "new" India after The Partition of 1947.
His narrative paintings, executed in a modified Cubist style, can be caustic and funny as well as serious and sombre. His themes—sometimes treated in series—include topics as diverse as Mohandas K. Gandhi, Mother Teresa, the Ramayana, the Mahabharata, the British raj, and motifs of Indian urban and rural life.
Early in his painting career, and until his death, he enjoyed depicting the lively and free spirit of horses in many of his works. Often referred to as the "Picasso of India," M.F. Husain is the most celebrated and internationally recognized Indian artist of the 20th century. Husain is primarily known for his paintings, but is also known for his drawings and his work as a printmaker, photographer, and filmmaker. Some of his later works stirred controversy, as they depicted traditional Deities of India in non traditional ways.
He also directed a few movies. In 1967, he received the National Film Award for Best Experimental Film for Through The Eyes of a Painter. In 2004, he directed Meenaxi: A Tale of Three Cities, which was screened in the Marché du Film section of the 2004 Cannes Film Festival.

7. 5. Abanindranath Tagore
Abanindranath Tagore (7 August 1871 – 5 December 1951) was the principal artist and creator of "Indian Society of Oriental Art".
He was also the first major exponent of Swadeshi values in Indian art, thereby founding the influential Bengal school of art, which led to the development of modern Indian painting.
He was also a noted writer, particularly for children. Popularly known as 'Aban Thakur', his books Rajkahini, Budo Angla, Nalak, and Khirer Putul are landmarks in Bengali language children's literature.
Tagore sought to modernise Mughal and Rajput styles to counter the influence of Western models of art, as taught in Art Schools under the British Raj and developed the Indian style of painting, later known as Bengal school of art. Such was the success of Tagore's work that it was eventually accepted and promoted as a national Indian style within British art institutions under the epithet of Indian Society of Oriental Art.
