My current desktop screensaver, and I've seen it in person multiple times
You feel me bruh
>innawoods the painting
These are always great. I'll try to post ones that don't get too much attention, and I'll write a little about them if I can.
This one is by Ivan Kramskoi. He's best known (particularly on Jow Forums) for his piece "Christ in the Wilderness," and he shows his talent for conveying subtle but very complete emotion here too. It was completed in 1883.
This is now a deviant art thread
I live in an urban, liberal shit hole. Rustic, romanticized artwork or a different time and place are sometimes the only things that keep me going
This one by Asher Durand, a contemporary and good friend/colleague of Thomas Cole whose work will probably be prominently displayed in this thread, was created as a gift to Cole. It depicts Cole himself (left) and their mutual friend William Cullen Bryant who had recently died. It's considered an excellent example of the Hudson Valley school, and is very typical of the sort of optimism and romanticism of rural life that was very popular in artistic circles just after the end of the American civil war.
fuck off back to hell
Russian painters man. They must have seen some really bad shit because their pieces convey such emotional, oftentimes misery and dread
Came in to post this. I'm very proud of you user.
This is a bit different from the others, but anyway...
It was painted by an Indophile from the US (I can't find the source rn) but you can see the style is Western and not Indic.
This one specific painting narrates the moment when Krishna breaks his vow and attacks Bhisma with the Sudarshanachakra (Disk of Auspicious Vision) in the epic poem Mahabharata.
I saw this piece in the MET this summer. Reminds me of that Durand piece
Do modern day memorials count as art
Some do, some don't.
A simple plaque and/or cross is not art.
But an ornate one would be art.
I FUCKING LOVE SHISHKIN
This is without a doubt my favorite piece of art
This one, by Edwin Long, is a 'genre painting' showing scenes of far-off places or the distant past. Long himself was an avid Orientalist, and although most of his paintings are biblical he has several works of this kind of subject as well. These were considered somewhat low-brow and Long was popular but never really very well-respected in his time in art circles. He studied in Spain, and the fusion of the styles popular there at the time synthesize with the style of his British contemporaries in a really interesting way IMO.
NIce. Dahl's work definitely belongs in this thread.
My parents and their friends have always been into art, and my siblings and I would get dragged to art museums whenever we went on vacation. I would mope around, looking for the nearest the bench to sit down rather than the pieces of art on the walls. It wasn't until I came to this shithole of a website that I really started to appreciate art, GOOD ART, and it has profoundly changed my life. This past summer I had an intellectual and lengthy conversation with one of my mother's friends about Thomas Cole and Romanticism in art, and I could see the shock on their faces at my newfound interest in it. The woman asked me if I had taken a class in college that made me so interested, and I simply said yes because how else was I to explain this transformation I had undergone?
Another by Long, this one depicting a group of Christian martyrs. This is one of his better known pieces and attracted a lot of attention at the time. Notice also that he uses a lot of the same models over several works.

A landscape by the Venetian artist Canaletto, who painted mainly urban landscapes of his native Italy, especially Northern Italy, during the late 18th century. I'll post a couple more of his right after each other.
I imagine myself in Europe, leading my Platoon. Our mission is to stop Chr*stian dogs from advancing. We mow down Chr*stian dogs but they keep coming. I shoot Chr*stian dogs but I run out of ammo so I draw my sword and begin slaughtering Chr*stians, since Chr*stians are way more psychially inferior to me, I slay them by dozens. Then I get shot, but I didn't fall, I kept fighting. Then shot again and again. Chr*stian were shooting me from a distance like the cowards they are, the Ch*stians capture me and tell me to convert to their jewish cult, I smile and cough, I start laughing coughing blood I say Odin ALLFATHER bless me by your hand, I get shot again, I cough blood laughing before giving one last shout to reach the skies and beyond HAIL ODIN ALLFATHER, I get shot, I lie down, facing up to sky and I see ODIN smiling at me, I smile back… Then I woke up, in Valhalla, my homeland. My NORSE brethen gave me a warm welcome to Valhalla. I finally made it, I finally made it into heaven..

It has been repaired. 2nd time this has happened
Holy shit you were right user! luckily they say that the painting will be alright, restoration will be expensive but is easily possible.
I would support any laws that state: "Attack a world renowned work of art= Lose both your arms (at the top of the elbow)"
Russiabots don't like it because it portrays one of their tsars badly.
wow this is great
