For his time Donatello seemed to have been able to very accurately sculpt the human form. His works are very elaborate and detailed, as well as vast and impressive. Sculpting can be complicated and the mistakes are at times harder to fix than paintings or drawings, which makes the feat of creating such pieces even more impressive.

Rembrandt
Rembrandt is a very interesting artist that I feel really deserves his fame. He is very famed for his depictions of scenes from the Bible. The way he works with minimal light makes the scenes darker and more interesting, especially in the first painting. This makes the presence of the light more powerful and gives a very intense display.

Gustavo Aguerre
This photographer seems to take a whimsical view of his art. He pieces together these pieces to interesting effects with a lot of nice earth tones. These make perfect conversational art works to have in places of business or homes that would really draw the eye.
Laurence Aberhart
Laurence Aberhart is a famouse photographer who seems to gravitate towards works of a religious nature. The way the camera angles, the sky looks intense and intimidating, making the statues and cross look bigger and more central and grand. They almost look as though they are older photographs and set in older areas.

Devin Schoeffler
An almost forgotten type of artist is the graphic designer or users of photoshop. They are masters of creating artwork with the computer and while there may be some that protest the idea that they are indeed artist and that is art, I offer no such arguments. Not everyone can do this or at least not with this kind of skill and creativity. Devin Schoeffler's work here is a great example of what can be done with photoshop.
Jose Ignacio Romussi Murphy
This artist specializes in creating embroidered patterns over photographs. This seems to me a very novel idea and would never have occurred to me as a type of artwork had I not accidentally discovered while searching for artists for this blog. These are very elegant and feminine pieces that are only strengthened in that notion due to the subject matter of ballerinas.

Cecelia Webber
Cecilia Webber has created very intriguing art work that upon first look isn't what it seems. These flowers are actually people sitting and standing in different positions. Not sure what the symbolism is, or why you wanna make people flowers, but it is neat.
Luke Jerram
Luke Jerram has an interesting style of art. He creates glass works which resemble germs and viruses. Not really sure why, but they look cool. Modern art is weird and sometimes I don't get it, however these really do look cool. If I didn't know any better I would think that these were real germs floating around.
