Art threads of the past helped me discover a lot of new art and artists.
This is one of my favourites that I discovered from a previous thread featuring the holy virgin mary
Looks nice

The funny thing is that westerners are so used to seeing African kids suffer from kwashiorkor that they think the girls stomach is just bad painting

Hello. I had seen a painting with a central figure of a variation of Hermaphroditus, moon on the background, very romantic in style and fairly mystical. I haven't been able to find it again. Does anyone have a clue?

Going with people can be fun, but really you'll have different opinions and you might want to linger longer than they, or vice-versa. The shared experience and conversations are fun but being beholden to somebody else's enjoyment not so much.
Any good doco's on YouTube about art or art history - emphasis on good!

>favorite paintings
Eh my tastes are too changeable for real favourites.
Have this one, it's the first I liked enough to save in a long long while.
>tfw trying to find out what this is.
Someone said Mucha but I could never find anything related like this.
When I was really young my aunt had a print of this on her wall and it always kind of scared me for some reason but it's easily my favourite now. Always make up different stories in my head about what everyones thinking in it, it seems so human

Came here to post this

The central Figure in Bosch's Hell has long since achieved meme status. M.C. Escher executed a fairly straightforward copy of the (detailed) image earlier in his career, and if you watch very early Simpsons episodes, theres an ep where Bart is knocked out and has a 'near death-experience'. He promptly arrives in hell, beholds a Matt-Groening-version of the image, and then the devil informs him (Bart) that it's not his time yet.
>>984951
I literally saw this in a museum the other day, in a quiet, out-of-the-way room with some Goyas.
Since it's a print, I suppose it would make sense that lots of different places have copies or multiples of it.
Actually stopped and really looked at this for awhile when I first saw it in another art thread a long time ago.
>>989868
You'll enjoy this, then
>>989875
Saved, thanks!

>the guy waving at the end of the tunnel
I laugh ever tim
Not strictly art I suppose, but we used to have this hanging in an old beach house.
I always liked it, its pretty quirky.

pre raphaelites are the best aside from early impressionism ( the good one and not the "I just do whatever I want" like sorolla and sargent) also the most dreamy and mythological motifs
>>982961
Sorolla is probably my favourite, all his works are so good on a technical level but also give off so much cozy mood and make you long for those places

>"One of the painters commissioned to make a ‘Batavian’ painting for the new Amsterdam town hall was Rembrandt van Rijn (1606-69). Rembrandt chose the moment of the oath of the Batavians in the sacred grove, as described by Tacitus, Histories IV, 14. Civilis, with crown and sword, is the main protagonist of the composition. Unlike his fellow painters, Rembrandt decided to depict Civilis with one blind eye, as some of the sources had described his appearance. In 1662 it was reportedly on display at the town hall, but shortly afterwards, it was removed from the building. The painting, originally measuring more than 5 by 5 metres, was reduced to about 2 by 3 metres, which incidentally makes Civilis`s blind eye more clearly visible."
Art novice here. I remember walking into some museum during my youth and seeing wall to wall portraits of young women, from their shoulders up.
I remember many of them being incredibly beautiful.
Could anyone name me an artist who has done some exquisitely beautiful female portraits.
>>993372
Since you clearly just want help identifying what you saw back then (and I"m intererested in helping), you should give more details as you are able. general location, type of pictures (photo/painting/prints), type of costume the women were wearing (if anything), etc.
I like Sargent's women.
>>991075
If you eat moldy ergot-rye bread, you will trip ABSOLUTE BALLS and the visions of your trip will be reproduced in your art.
Although it is easy to abuse drugs, the moral is: don't discount the effect of getting fucked up in making good art.
>>993651
I'm cool with looking at anything that looks similar, I've seen female portraits all over the world, I just remember this one instance more than any others.
I think the place was some famous mansion converted into a museum. I know it was in Europe, maybe France or Germany.
The women in the portraits were wearing maybe Victorian era dresses? My child-self just thought they all looked like princesses, so royal-type clothing.
The only other thing I remember besides them being painted from shoulders up is that most of them were facing the viewer.
