摘要:In this work the possible infl uences of some retinal eye problems on paintings of several famous artists are considered. The change of painting styles and artistic expression in different periods and ages in a group of world-wide well-known painters are described and correlated with known or suspected retinal diseases. Some of them largely became recognizable because of that. Contemplations are offered about the effects of retinal diseases in the works of Degas, Munch, Cézanne, O’Keeffe, Constable and Goya. Retinal eye diseases have a signifi cant impact on the work of selected famous painters.
