that image is basicly normies faced with 4chaners and the death of that kid is the death of the west, we mourn its death but we will feast upon its failure and create a new world with the dust of its bones as time marches on.

What're you 5?
Is that a mirror behind her? It is a reflection of an earlier event? Of her daydreams? Is she a prostitute? Apparently during that time period flowers on a woman's chest was a sign of this. And is that a bottle of Bass Ale that looks just like it does in modern times?
Goya anyone?

Pretty much everything by John Atkinson Grimshaw is great, but this one stands out to me.
Most people think of 'Night Hawks' when they think of Edward Hopper but I like 'Automat'. It shows the soul crushing isolation of city life is something that has been happening for a long time.
It soothes the madness, if only for a moment.

>>71969329
Every single time. This painting always evokes a feeling of just gut wrenching sadness. There are a few paintings that I can look at and have strong emotional reactions towards but there is something about this one that is just bleak.

Here's Arthur Rackham's illustration of Siegfried slaying Fafnir in the third opera of the Ring cycle. This got me interested in those operas, and I later found out that these illustrations captured the interest of C.S. Lewis.

Art isn't just about banal technique. Anyone can learn that.
To be truly talented at art you have to have more -- a creative spark; some new way of looking at things; or elevating them above the mundane. Sometimes that means drawing out the great beauty with brushstrokes and colours. Beauty on a canvas can be so much more than the picture itself.
A mundane, uninspired, uninteresting picture of a courtyard in Vienna, with no technique to make it beautiful, and crap perspective to boot, isn't a good example of art and Hitler was right to have been denied to study at that college. If he was half as determined as you'd like to believe, he'd have gone straight back to painting, and tried again and again until he got in. But no, instead he went straight into the tinpot school of political strongarming.

Yes
They persecuted Christians heavily for many years, that is until Emperor Constantine took the religion; suddenly it went from a weird cult that was hated, to state religion
Imagine if Obama became a scientologist
I think I may have somewhat fallen in love with this painting, and I'm not even sure why. It's not even something sexual, but I could just stare at it for hours on end, and I nearly did when I met it face to face on my trip to Florence.
Now I miss it like I'd miss a dear friend or lover in a far away land. Rather depressing.
>>71969329

>Romanticism
Fuck you, I like it
>>71973447
Here's another.
its not a painting, but a chalcography (carved into copper). that was a popular art form in Germany during the middle ages, it allowed for "copying" therefor some images were very wide spread in the holy roman empire of the german nation. albrecht dürer is the iconic german artist from that time.
>>71973380
I knew they persecuted Christians and blamed them for a lot of shit like when Rome burned down under Nero, but I didn't know they literally fed them to lions. Fuck man, it is amazing they were willing to do shit like this to a relatively peaceful people and modern day Eurocucks aren't even willing to give the boot to Muhammad.

Anyone else find it fascinating most posts here are Romanticism? 'course /pol/ would like the Rockwells but there seems to be a disproportionate amount of Romantic paintings.
>>71971442
Yeah, me too.
>>71973777
>>71969804
After Rome fell, there were 1000 years of darkness. They did not have the hindsight of history as we do, however. By learning from Rome's mistakes, we have the opportunity to reduce the dark years to within the span of one lifetime. This is why it is so important that we persevere even when it seems hopeless, that we aspire to uphold the old values and lead our people into a new era.
>>71970527

Not historical(I don't think) but it's nice.
I think there's something to be said for Yeats' earlier Illustrationist work too. It's a little romantic, but with a hint of that expressionist spark he would indulge later on.
>>71974153
Klimt is amazing. One of my all-time favorites.
>>71974198
I've seen that in person, at Norway's National Gallery. It's breathtaking. That experience, the entire visit (five Europeans capitols in three weeks) is what converted me into a white nationalist.

This picture is too dramatic. It's like the photo of the drowned kid. Putting a death on display, saying "LOOK AT HOW SAD THIS IS".
A more realistic and subtle scene is better. It triggers the same emotions, but only after observation instead of shoving it into your face.

She's likely both a barmaid as well as a part-time "escort". The point of the painting, though, is the ambiguous vacuity of her expression. She's lost, miles away, but not in a good way.

I like Otto Dix's WW1 stuff he could do either both somewhat realistic as well as very stylized works. It's truly hellish and inspired by his own experiences, which he wanted to show so people knew how much war could fuck someone up.
And the Nazis censored and mocked his art because it showed the reality of what they were leading Germans to.
