What is your favorite piece of art r9k?
Luis White
Gavin Sullivan
*ohayu*
*sniff*
Isaiah Rivera
un ironically onions this
Brandon Lewis
Probably, unironically, Starry Night. The fact that he painted it from his asylum window makes it even better.
That, or Judith Slaying Holofernes by Artemisia Gentileschi, pic related.
Luke Collins
This is art, so much art that you'd think the words before it were Paul Bl
Jason Sanchez
Based Saturn not giving a fuck and didn't afraid of anything
Evan Long
Non Rossetti Pre-Raphaelite stuff.
Joshua Walker
Ive got a few that I really like. I forget who did most of them, but I remember the titles. This one was something along the lines of "The Last Stand". Itd be a good way to go if you ask me
Lincoln Lopez
I can look at this for a while
Elijah Sanders
Love this. Really cool that Deep Purple used the right side for their self-titled album cover.
Logan Brooks
always thought this was pretty neat.
ivan the terrible realising he just killed his son.
Ayden Miller
This one was done by a WWI veteran and its about the horrors of the trenches. Ive heard doing this type of art helped with his shell shock
Julian Long
It's impossible to truly pick just one but for the sake of this thread this one. Saw it at an art show in Boston in 2016. Crappy photo
Ian Evans
This ones Russian, and thats all I remember
Camden Jones
This one, the eyes really fuck me up.
Gabriel Morales
kitsch... lower class trash....
Nathan Carter
Also this one got a lot more interested in Pan after reading "Jitterbug Perfume"
Eli Butler
That's just like your opinion man
It's almost impossible to really "grade" art because once someone devotes thought and effort to it its art and after that it's opinion
In my opinion this poster is fantastic
Michael Allen
Devil plays the fiddle or something along those lines. This one is my last one, thought I had more but the other ones were all too big to post
Nathaniel Barnes
I'm not sure what it is about it but Gustave Dore's The Gates of Hell always takes my breath away whenever I look at it. Saw it for the first time in a uni lecture and I was transfixed. Never actually felt fear from a piece of art before but that made me feel afraid, and it's really beautiful at the same time too
Easton Murphy
*pee pees on you*
we gonna have a problem?
Aiden Evans
This image really calms me no idea who made it
Oliver Davis

Nicholas Cooper
The last season of samurai jack was very beautiful
Blake Cooper
Cat look like janny, haha.
Jaxson Foster
Better version Orville reddenbacher
Lucas Martinez
I can't remember who painted it or what it's name was, but I remember being just awestruck by this painting from a rocky shoreline of this tumultuous ocean I saw at the smithsonian when my family went to D.C. on vacation some years ago. It looked similar to pic related, but I'm pretty sure this isn't it.
Aiden Butler
it's kind of inspiring
Ayden Price
its even better in person.
Jason Butler
lucky for you there's a whole classification of paintings like this that span many different genres and time periods, check out "memento mori still life" for many more in this same vein
Robert Diaz
in this specific one I just like the hourglass.
like you look at the painting and feel panic/dread but then realize the hourglass still has most of its sand at the top
Thomas Walker
Not him but What made this so popular? What Era did it start in? Whats the symbology trying to say?
Asher Hernandez
I like shock art
Asher Gray
I love this painting, idk if any of you have heard of it before
Ian Bailey
I remember being shown this in art school and wanting to blow my brains out for having decided to take out loans to attend
Jeremiah Brown
ugh can't upload cause it's too big and I'm phoneposting from bed rn. Pic related is only a small low rez portion of the whole thing. It's called One Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains by Wang Ximeng of Song Dynasty China, go here to see nice hi rez image of it

>IT WHALE B SOOOO FUNNY AND UNIRONIK IF I POST THEEEE MOST FAMOUS PAINTING IN THE WORLD
>AND THEN PRETEND THAT OTHER ANONS WON'T KNOW WHAT IT US
>HAHA HAHAHA XD
Andrew Watson
well still lifes have been a part of painting for super long time and often serve as practice for students of realism. but because of their ubiquity and variety (and because they no doubt had to do many as an apprentice or for commission) many master painters have done still lives once they have established their style sort of for the lulz if that makes sense. basically if anyone has ever been serious about painting they've done a still life at some point.
still lives in and of themselves don't have too much criteria, basically a group of inanimate objects arranged by the artist. where the fun comes in with still lives is the symbolism of the selected objects. and everything from fruit representing the reproductive organs to skulls and hourglasses representing mortality and anything else you might be able to think of is fair game.
which brings us to memento mori (Latin I think????) which means "remember death" and basically says that you're guaranteed to die someday so just remember all you do and feel is in then end a product of vanity cause nothing matters #nilhismsodeeplmao
Carson Wood
Oh and I think still lives became popular in the Renaissance but I could be wrong desu
Jose Harris
gustave dore uber alles

Henry Powell
It's hard to choose, but I really liked this one after reading Master and Commander.
Sebastian Powell
Oliver Rogers
Lubecker Totentanz by Bernt Notke
Easton Reed
Die Nacht. Can't remember the name of the artist. It reminds me of a Halloween night, when I was drunk and alone in my dorm while everyone was partying. I had just been ghosted by a girl I fell too quickly for, plus the autum season always makes me sad and sentimental. This painting reminds me of that.
Carter Young
Halloween is a very special and spiritual time of year there are many ways to spen it
Jaxon Smith
This one is called Man Proposes God Disposes
Leo Nguyen
That is true. I think for me, the Halloween time is when things always start to look up for me, and then get brutally crushed.
Ian Green

Ethan Davis
>tfw art is the only medium to ever make me feel
Levi Adams
this painting has always really resonated with me. i hope to see it in person one day, i feel like it would be a really emotional experience.
Gabriel Baker
Something like this always seems very simple at first, but it's very intriguing to me.
this one is real good. Ship art always gets me
Joshua Jones
Kramskoi's 'Christ in the Desert'
perfect representation of self-doubt and misery
Levi Harris
Saw the physical while I was in Melbourne, I've loved it ever since.
