1、Mona LisaMonaLisa is a 16thcentury portrait painted by Leonardo da Vinci during the Italian Renaissance (文艺复兴), which now is under the care of Louvre in Paris. It is perhaps the most famous painting in the world. But who was the heroine and what is the story behind the mysterious smile?Its identity
2、remains uncertain.Some researchers say that she was the widowed (寡居的) Duchess of Milan. Others say it is possible that she was Mona Lisa Gherardini, the third wife of the wealthy silk merchant Francesco.The smile of Mona Lisa has kept people guessing. Someone says that the smile originated (起源,发端) f
3、rom Leonardo da Vincis mother, Caterina. Others say the smile is quite simple because women were taught to smile so as to add an air of mystery and elegance at that time. The truth is that this style of smile was not invented by Leonardo da Vinci. It can be found in a number of sculptures (雕塑) from
4、the 15th century.No one knows the truth behind this famous painting except Leonardo da Vinci himself, but people are so fond of it and would enjoy guessing.In fact, there are many fine art forms in western countries and China as well. Its these fine arts and pop arts that make our life colourful. No

6、inting myself after I get back. Let me tell you all about our trip.My grandmother really likes Picassos paintings and thinks he is the greatest artist ever, so we started in Spain and went to the city of Mlaga, the birthplace of Picasso. Near the house where Picasso was born is a museum full of his
7、art. Mlaga is a lovely city and the architecture is beautiful. I was amazed to learn that Picasso had an output of more than 20,000 pieces of art. He did not just paint, but made sculptures and worked with all kinds of media. He experimented with different styles of painting, but was most famous for

10、史以来最伟大的艺术家,所以我们从西班牙出发,去了毕加索的出生地马拉加市。在毕加索出生的房子附近有一座博物馆,里面都是他的艺术作品。马拉加是一座迷人的城市,建筑很美。我惊讶地得知,毕加索一生创作了两万多件艺术作品。他不仅绘画,还创作雕塑,利用各种材料创作作品。他尝试过多种不同的绘画风格,但尤以立体派作品著称。立体派常常运用锐角,在立体派画作中世界被呈现为由立方体和矩形构成。Of course, even though Picasso was Spanish, he left Spain while he was still a young and struggling artist, and s
11、ettled in Paris, France. So, after visiting Spain, we went to Paris. During our four days in Paris we spent one whole day at the Louvre Museum, where we saw the MonaLisa, painted by the Italian artist Leonardo da Vinci. He created this work between 1503 and 1506. I was really impressed by this pictu

16、在巴黎的四天当中,我们花了一整天参观卢浮宫,在那里我们欣赏了意大利艺术家列奥纳多达芬奇创作的蒙娜丽莎。他于1503年至1506年间创作了这幅作品。这幅带着神秘微笑的女子的画像的确给我留下了深刻的印象。举世公认,这幅画是世界上最珍贵的油画作品如果这幅画在市场上出售,很难估算它的价值。达芬奇不仅是画家,还是建筑师、科学家和工程师。他设计了许多新发明,包括直升机和坦克的雏形。,除了达芬奇的作品,卢浮宫还藏有六千余件其他欧洲画家的画作,时间跨度从13世纪到19世纪。然而,它里面没有任何现代艺术作品。现代艺术作品都被保存在奥塞美术馆。在巴黎的第二天,我们去了那里,因为我姑妈迫不及待地想去看看克劳德莫奈的
17、作品。Monet was a French painter who lived between 1840 and 1926. His paintings were typical of a style called Impressionism. With Impressionism, the painter abandons the idea of representing things exactly as they look in a photograph, but seeks to show movement and the feelings of the moment, through
18、 the use of colours, light and shadows. Monet loved to paint outdoors, and almost never used a studio. Though when he was younger he painted a wide variety of subjects, when he was older he most often painted the water liliesfloating on the surface of the pond in his garden.Yesterday, we went to the
19、 Van Gogh Museum, here in Amsterdam. Van Gogh was also a member of the Impressionist Movement. Altogether, he painted about 800 oil paintings and did 1,600 drawings. One of his most famous oil paintings is ThePotatoEaters, which he painted in 1885. Among his works, my favourite is StarryNight, which
20、 he completed in 1889. Unfortunately, although van Gogh committed his whole being to painting, he received little reward for his effort. His younger brother, Theo,acting as his agent , tried hard to sell van Goghs paintings, but could only sell one painting, for 400 francs, before van Gogh died in 1
21、890. Today, van Goghs paintings are worth upwards of millions of dollars each.Tomorrow we are off to another museum in Amsterdam. The most famous paintings there are by Rembrandt. He lived from 1606 until 1669. My aunt really wants to see a painting of his called TheNightWatch, which was painted in

24、 off to动身去第58段译文,莫奈是一名法国画家,生于1840年,在1926年去世。他的画作是典型的印象派风格。印象派画家摒弃了要像拍照一样精确地描绘物体这一观念,而是尝试通过色彩、光线和阴影的运用,表现物体的运动和瞬间的感受。莫奈喜爱在室外作画,几乎从不使用画室。尽管在较年轻时他画了各种各样的题材,但到岁数大一点时,他最常画的就是他家花园池塘里漂浮的睡莲。,昨天我们去了位于阿姆斯特丹的凡高博物馆。凡高也是印象派画家之一。凡高一共画了大约800幅油画和1 600幅素描。他最著名的油画之一是食土豆者,创作于1885年。在他的作品中,我最喜欢的是星夜,这幅画是他于1889年完成的。遗憾的是,尽
25、管凡高全身心地投入绘画,他所得到的回报却微乎其微。他的弟弟西奥作为他的经纪人,竭力推销凡高的画,但直到1890年凡高去世,他弟弟只卖出了一幅画,售价400法郎。今天,凡高的画每一幅都值数百万美元。,明天我们将动身去阿姆斯特丹的另一座博物馆,那里最著名的是伦勃朗的画。他生于1606年,在1669年去世。我姑妈非常想去看看他创作于1642年的叫夜巡的作品。,回去之后我会告诉你有关我行程的更多情况。,致礼!,李明PrereadingPlease match the words with their proper meanings.1abstractthe dark shape that sb./st
