Do we do art analysis here?

I doubt people qualified enough visit this place.

>being a fucking weeb.
>>1176366
Y-you don't have to be 'qualified' to have an opinion. I can get 'qualified opinions' easily, I'm more interested in 4chan's opinions.
>>1176376
It depends on style and personal tastes. But since I've seen so much Western art I find it boring myself.
Okay lads, time to analyse the dozen or so allegories in this painting.

I find pre-impressionist european art to be too literary minded. Everything tried to be realistic.
I blame the weak culture of calligraphy (and graphics in general) in european culture for lack of abstraction in their visual art.

>How long is this going to fucking take?
>Nearly done, men.
>Captain this better be part of our wages. We seriously gonna pose for weeks on end with all our armor n shiet?
That is what I think happened here.

Sure those aren't volunteers?
>>1176422
Wow, what a piece. I'm overwhelmed...
>>1176441
Have you heard of this period called "The middle ages"?
>>1176460
I like the detail of the elephant painted in the Low Countries a few thousand miles away from either Africa or India.

In 1600's Netherlands, it was popular among Dutch Militiamen to have "Company Portraits," consisting usually of their officers.
Case and point: the most famous. Memefully known as "The Night Watch." But its proper title is "Militia Company of District II (Amsterdam) under the Command of Captain Frans Banninck Cocq."
>>1176488
Those civic militias were just bourgeois military clubs weren't they?
>>1176466
That's still striving for realism, just being inept at it.
Meanwhile in Yapon...

>The Garden of Earthly Delights is the modern title given to a triptych painted by the Early Netherlandish master Hieronymus Bosch, housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid since 1939. It dates from between 1490 and 1510, when Bosch was between about 40 and 60 years old, and is his best-known and most ambitious surviving work.
>It dates from between 1490 and 1510
What the FUCK!? This man was wayyy ahead of his time. This work blows Dali and the surrealists out of the water.
>>1176503
Realistic portrait paintings predate the one shown by a 70 odd years or so, manuscript illustrations were always out of perspective and stylized to a degree even when realistic portraits were a thing.
>>1176502
Nope. Militias did important work such as policing and augmenting the military.
Remember: Netherlands was a republic.

Albrecht durer painting is 1499
This manuscript illumination was made like 15 years later.
>>1176525
And don't forget tapestries!
>>1176515
Nah, it's just that not many people figured out linear perspective at the time.
Not to mention the complete lack of any composition. All visual elements are just strewn around, "draw what I see" style.
It would be a stretch to call european medieval art "art" at all. More like "a visual representation of events". Basically a diagram, a protocol drawing.

I doubt the guy who made >>1176525 ever saw Saint Ursula though, I mean the lived 400 years apart at least.

Go fuck yourself. Art is any creative expression created with the intent to convey meaning.

He didn't have to see the event transpire, just read about it and then depict it EXACTLY how it was written.
I mean, the idea that you could draw something OTHER than a bliblical scene or a historical event was a revolutionary concept to europeans.
>>1176535
I'm serious man, that little print conveys dynamism, motion, tension, etc. The scene is COMPOSED as opposed to simply retold.
Here's how a european might have depicted a similar scene.
>the knight and the serpent face each other in a completely flat angle, the knight is stabbing the serpent
>also, let's include what the countryside looks like for miles on end because its description was in the literary work that I am making an illustration for
>>1176543
These kinds of things always fascinate me.
It's like you can connect with the person who left these works through the cleft of ages.
Look at this shit. It's fugging amazing.
>>1176543
Love this. Cute as fuck. I really wish we could know what happened to Onfim once he growed up.

Thank you for bringing my attention to this piece. I am enraptured by it. I might just spend the rest of the day studying it. I found this site via Wikipedia that allows you to zoom way in on it and includes commentary on the various aspects on the painting.

Lots of Early Netherlandish work (Roughly 1390-1500) is overshadowed by the Italian Renaissance with it's focus on the classics. Which is a shame because they had a bunch of novel concepts and styles and techniques (Oil paint rather than Tampera).
Fun fact: Jeroen Bosch lived next to the local jail during his childhood. He probably would've grown up hearing the screaming from the torture chamber and some suspect this might have had an influence on his art work.
>>1176653
I remember when I first found out about him. I looked at every detail of his paintings as if I was searching for Waldo. Wow. Nostalgia time... :~)
We are living in the garden of delights. Judgement is coming.
