Well, he was his protégé.
>>2534752
If I remember correctly he was never actually taught by him, he just was an uber fanboy.
I love Burne-Jones.

Not saying I could do better but half of these paintings look like mannequins posed that way rather than real women.

Oh, is that the one he cut to pieces because he wasn't satisfied with how it came out?
One of his friends or his wife insisted on keeping it though, and put it back together, but you can still see the rips and cuts.
>>2538263
Mother lord! That's something I would like to grab
good thread
>>2533936
They had limited materials and limited knowledge about how light works and shit, no idea about bounce light or occulusion. They had no books and could only use their personal experience.
But most of them still are great or solid and hold educational value.
Ofcourse new masters are better than the old masters, because they learned from them and added their own new knowledge.
Same with scientists.
Today's scientists may be not as smart as Sir Newton or Einstein but they just know more, they know all Newton knew and more.
>>2538320
Is it supposed to look like she is in front of a wall with angel wings painted on it
>>2538330
Eh, not so fast. No oil painter alive today is on par with Zorn, Sargent or Caravaggio just to name a few. Have you seen the work of most so called "masters" today?
>>2538332
really nigga? we just had a thread about this
>>2538330
The difference is that most painting techniques were lost in the 20th century with the death of academic art and skill as a value. It would be more as though all the knowledge of old scientists like Newton and Einstein had been burned and today's scientists were aware that those guys made great contributions but can't take them further because we no longer are even at their level.
This is a gold thread, ya'll restored my faith in this board.
Please keep posting anons, don't let this die just yet.

LOL THIS NIGGA DRAWING SYMBOLS
>>2538228
well, he was perving on those nymphs and now they're dragging his ass into that lake to punish him or whatever, he's not supposed to look happy
>>2538215
Personally I think they were surpassed in almost every way by artists of the 18th and 19th century, with a few exceptions.
They were pioneers, but I wouldn't consider them masters, personally.
>>2538798
you gotta think of it in context, though.
they had hardly any resources, and what they had was often prohibitively expensive. shit we take unquestioningly for granted like access to basic paper wasn't just expensive, it was a legitimate political monopoly in italy for centuries to keep the prices up. and if you didn't live close to an atelier or in some court somewhere, good luck on communicating with other artists to share their knowledge.
despite these limitations, they produced the best stuff of their generation, and compared to the awful endless paintings of jesus that plagued the centuries before it was a world of difference in skill.
they were masters because they had the capacity for mastery. they just weren't standing on the solid base of shared knowledge and technique bouguereau & co had (which they themselves helped build for later artists) or the incredible access to resources we have today that allows those motivated asian wunderkinds to reach professional levels before they hit 20.
they are not as technically skilled as the masters of later generations. but if they had had the same opportunities as those later generations, they would have been.
same reason we consider erastothenes an amazing mathematician even though he didn't know advanced calculus in ancient greece.
>>2538826
Who cares about all that stuff?
their works have been surpassed their achievements have been outdone by later traditioal artists, and today's badass CG artists make better pictures without making a big deal out of it.
>>2538826
Thus I applied the terms pioneers. They're absolutely worthy of respect, and their contributions were vital for later developments, but the art itself is nothing special compared to a large number of later artists.
There are people nowadays who treat work by the old masters like it hasn't been outdone.

The thing I love most about this piece is how every single reaction begs you to get involved. To 'talk out' what they're feeling or thinking. I can't help but smile and mentally list off what each might be thinking.
