Who is the painter of Guitonde?

Answer 1

Its not La Guitonde my friend its La Gioconda.
Well,La Gioconda-what can I say about it.We all know it but this is the Italian name.You are referring to the MONA LISA.I searched for Guitonde everywhere in my painting knowledge but couldn't find it.Then a wonderful idea struck me-you might be referring to La Guiconde(The Mona Lisa).Well,all of us know that the Mona Lisa was painted by Da Vinci.
Here is all I know about Da Vinci
The illegitimate son of a notary, Messer Piero, and a peasant girl, Caterina, Leonardo had no surname in the modern sense, "da Vinci" simply meaning "of Vinci": his full birth name was "Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci", meaning "Leonardo, son of (Mes)ser Piero from Vinci."

Leonardo has often been described as the archetype of the "Renaissance man" or universal genius, a man whose seemingly infinite curiosity was equalled only by his powers of invention. He is widely considered to be one of the greatest painters of all time and perhaps the most diversely talented person ever to have lived.

It is primarily as a painter that Leonardo was and is renowned. Two of his works, the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper occupy unique positions as the most famous, most reproduced and most imitated portrait and religious painting of all time, their fame approached only by Michelangelo's Creation of Adam. Leonardo's drawing of the Vitruvian Man is also iconic. Perhaps fifteen paintings survive, the small number due to his constant, and frequently disastrous, experimentation with new techniques, and his chronic procrastination.Nevertheless these few works, together with his notebooks, which contain drawings, scientific diagrams, and his thoughts on the nature of painting, comprise an unmatched contribution to later generations of artists.

As an engineer, Leonardo conceived ideas vastly ahead of his own time, conceptualising a helicopter, a tank, concentrated solar power, a calculator, and the double hull, and outlining a rudimentary theory of plate tectonics. Relatively few of his designs were constructed or even feasible during his lifetime, but some of his smaller inventions such as an automated bobbin winder and a machine for testing the tensile strength of wire entered the world of manufacturing unheralded. As a scientist, he greatly advanced the state of knowledge in the fields of anatomy, civil engineering, optics, and hydrodynamics.

Are you looking for the Indian painter Vasudeo S. Gaitonde (1924-2001)? He is India's foremost abstract artist. He paints amorphous shapes floating in layers on a vast field of subtle colours evoke a state of meditative calm. See example of his work http://ngmaindia.gov.in/artist.asp?artistid=34
