Are all painters like Van Gogh—living a life of hardship, suffering from illness, pouring their heart and soul into their art, only to find fame after death?

Not necessarily!

Take Picasso, for example—a truly successful "life winner" who enjoyed immense social status, wealth, and prestige during his lifetime. Many other painters led legendary lives even more fascinating than their own works!

Ever wonder why The Night Watch became Dutch Master Rembrandt's most important masterpiece, or what untold stories lie behind Girl with a Pearl Earring?

For this exhibition, the library has selected painters, masterworks, and era-defining stories from various art movements to share with everyone. Through the canvas, you will gain a deeper understanding of the artists' lives and the soul behind these masterpieces.
