Famous paintings from an unusual angle (12 photos)

It would be very cool if all people had the opportunity to see these works of art with their own eyes. But, alas, not everyone can go on an artistic journey. The Internet, of course, will not convey all the sensations, however, it will be interesting in any case. We invite you to look at famous paintings in a very unusual light.

“The Last Supper” by Leonardo Da Vinci is in the most unobvious surroundings for the level of its legend. The great wall painting is located in the refectory room of the Dominican monastery of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan.





This is the reverse side of Rembrandt's painting "The Night Watch". The painting, whose official title is “The Performance of the Rifle Company of Captain Frans Banning Cock and Lieutenant Willem van Ruytenburg,” has impressive dimensions: 3.79 by 4.53 meters.



"The Creation of Adam" is not so easy to find on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. This particular composition became extremely popular, although there was definitely someone to choose from.





There are other paintings on display in the same room as the Mona Lisa in the Louvre.



Among them: “The Marriage in Cana of Galilee” by Paolo Veronese, as well as “Pastoral Concerto” and “Man with a Glove” by Titian. And in general, look how big this hall is. But it is named, of course, in honor of one specific painting measuring 76x53 cm.



“Guernica” by Pablo Picasso is not just a terrifying painting, but also a hugely terrifying one



But this famous “Portrait of the Arnolfini couple” turned out to be surprisingly small



But not as much as “The Persistence of Time” by Salvador Dali. His immortal masterpiece in the original turned out to be the size of a photograph. Only 24 by 33 centimeters.



Triptych by Hieronymus Bosch “The Garden of Earthly Delights” and its outer doors.



This depicts the Earth on the third day of the biblical Creation.



Claude Monet and his huge canvases. Where to store these? An entire museum was built especially for them in Paris. In this photo, the French painter paints one of the paintings from the cycle in his home studio in 1920.



To store the large-scale “Water Lilies” painted by the classic impressionist, in 1927 the greenhouse building was converted into an art gallery (Orangerie Museum). With government money, by the way.
