Abstract

Against the background of the multiple contemporary artistic manifestations we realize that the famous artistic creations, from the first masterpieces of the prehistoric caves to the great painters, sculptors and architects of all time (like Phidias and Praxiteles, Raphael and Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and Caravaggio, Bernini and Bramante, Rubens and Rembrandt, Picasso and Brâncuşi etc.) constituted the millenary spiritual culture of the human society.
