  <abstract>The history of the great masters reflects the evolution of art from realistic representation to personal and expressive styles. Artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael mastered techniques like perspective, anatomy, and chiaroscuro during the Renaissance, creating highly naturalistic and balanced works. Later masters, including Rembrandt, Velázquez, and Vermeer, refined the use of light, texture, and emotional depth. By the 19th century, artists like Manet, Cézanne, and Van Gogh began experimenting with color, brushwork, and form, using new techniques to express modern life and personal vision, shaping the foundation of modern art.</abstract>
