La Folie des Grandeurs (1967) Megalomania During the last year of Magritte’s life, the renowned gallery owner Alexandre Iolas asked him whether he had ever considered making sculptures.

The Vitruvian man (ca. 1490) Da Vinci tended to compensate for his lack of an education in the classical sense with an excess of empirical studies. The most famous of these is the Vitruvian Man so called because it is based on a description of the ideal human proportions by Roman architect Vitruvius (around 85-20 BC)….

The waiting dancer Degas developed an interest in ballet at an early age and in 1872 he made his first studies of ballet dancers. He avoided the true drama, the performance itself. This distant approach seems a reflection of Degas’ own life. When one of his favourite models went to New York, the apparently uninterested…

The Thinker sits in the tympanum and surveys hell: he is…
