An original work of art is like "haute couture" in the world of fashion.
One and only one of its kind exist in the world. Most importantly,
the thought process of the artist, must be taken into account, when
the work is/was being created!
Let us look at these two paintings:
Each is an absolute original idea, like the Mona Lisa, they are not alike in any way!
Leonardo Da Vinci was a Master of Symbolism, that is, he hid
a lot of his discoveries in his works of art and most of them are paintings!
Every painting he did is like a "story" and some look alike, like the two paintings
above, but the story lines are unique, therefore the designation: "Original".
An important point is in the discerning the ideas in the mind of this master artist.
He is speaking to us all, telling us a story, even the Mona Lisa shouts and yells.....
Each story is unique, each story genuine, each story...
A Masterpiece.
