One of the most obscure mysteries in the world of art is what is the source of masters’ inspiration? Artists create such powerful masterpieces that it seems impossible for a human being even to think of such an idea. Behind the scenes, somewhere in the shade of the greatest figures some images are hardly visible – these images are muses, real persons or imagined phantoms who inspire the artists to create new universes.
If you look at the history of creation of works of literature and painting, you will see that there is almost always a woman who gave the artist this particular idea, who was beside him while he was working at the realization of his plan. Let’s take, for example, one of the most extraordinary characters in the world of painting – Salvador Dali. His name is inseparable from the name of his beloved woman, his muse and his inspiration – Gala. She became an image on lots of his pictures; her love and passion guided the artist through life and gave him strength and energy to bring his vivid dreams to the pictures.
