Add source Since the beginning of time, portraiture has played a significant role in both art and human history. Portraits are capable of depicting more than just a person's appearance.

Fun fact: in some of his works, one of the most famous painters of all time, Vincent van Gogh, used torchons and kitchen towels, which he probably found at the psychiatric hospital where he was residing at the time. Although painting portraits has always been as important as painting landscapes or renowned locations, famous portrait painters like Rembrandt van Rijn, Leonardo da Vinci, and Gustav Klimt made substantial contributions to elevating the genre. Before the invention of photography, artists and sculptors were responsible for creating the most accurate portraits of people.

Those who consider his paintings to be only physical representations of his tormented mind frequently overlook his artistic brilliance. While in part this may be true, his inventive and distinctive artistic style was significant to many painters who came after him. Even when blatantly influenced by his predecessors or peers, his painting remained distinctively his own, establishing a unique style that was unpopular with the general population of the time.
Although Vincent van Gogh's career as a painter was brief, his works completely altered artistic technique and style.

Why Van Gogh created so many self-portraits has been the subject of debate among many art historians. They believe the artist couldn't afford to hire real models because of his financial situation. However, Van Gogh, who was short on money but determined to hone his ability as a portrait painter, became his own best model.

Many details of Vermeer's life are still unknown, which only increases the allure and intrigue of the man and his artwork. In the later half of the 1650s, Vermeer steadily shifted from biblical and mythical works to genre paintings portraying intimate household life scenes, including portraits. However, Vermeer was not particularly well-known during his lifetime, mainly because of the very few paintings and because most of his buyers were townspeople.

However, interest in Vermeer's work grew after his death when a French painter-critic published his critique of the artist's works in 1866.
Nonetheless, despite the artist's tiny body of work, it has only grown in prominence over time. Vermeer discovered a realm of harmony and order beneath the natural accidents. By giving that realm a visual form, he unveiled the poetry and the beauty within fleeting moments of human existence.

In many Frida Kahlo paintings, the spectator can sense the struggles the artist endured due to the chronic pain caused by a bus accident when she was 18. Besides the depiction of pain and suffering, the artist was praised for her uncompromising portrayal of the feminine experience and her evident love for Mexico's colors and culture.
Despite further declining health in her later life, she nonetheless remained productive.

Frida created many self-portraits with various hairstyles and outfits, always posing with her famously unmoving, unwavering gaze. Her extraordinary biographical narrative, which serves as her artistic legacy, tells the tale of her personal experiences, suffering, convictions, and passions through drama and the richness of symbolism. For art historians, this is a conundrum because her life and art are closely related, with the dramatic elements of Frida's life revived in her art.

Picasso significantly influenced art, much as William Shakespeare did literature and Sigmund Freud did psychology. No other artist in the history of art has attained the same level of international fame or demonstrated such extraordinary flexibility. Picasso was a spur for other artists to follow because of his free spirit, unique style, and total disregard for what other people thought of his work and creative process.

His paintings from the 1940s to the 1960s typically feature the human figure in situations that imply alienation, brutality, and misery. Surrealist inspirations, primarily from Picasso's works, led to the creation of tormented figures in his artworks.
