How to Restore a Rembrandt

It takes more than good chemistry

The Nightwatch, or Militia Company of District II under the Command of Captain Frans Banninck Cocq (1642).

Thepaintimg depicts Captain Frans Banninck Cocq in black with a red sash, striding forward and gesturing with his left hand, while Lieutenant Willem van Ruytenburch in bright yellow and white walks beside him. They lead a lively company of Amsterdam civic guards, all armed and in motion.

Rembrandt breaks from the static formality of traditional militia portraits by showing the men mid-action: muskets being loaded and fired, flags waving, a drummer beating time, and a dog barking. The scene is dramatically lit with golden light piercing deep shadow, creating strong contrasts and directing the viewer’s attention to key figures.

In the midst of the bustle, a mysterious girl in a golden dress — symbolically linked to the company’s emblem — stands illuminated, carrying a chicken with claws visible at her belt.

How did the only painting sold by Van Gogh in his lifetime end up in Russia?

The Red Vineyards near Arles is an oil painting by the Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh, executed on a privately primed Toile de 30 piece of burlap in early November 1888. It depicts workers in a vineyard, and it is the only painting known by name that Van Gogh sold in his lifetime.

As urgent and relevant today as it ever was': The radical manifesto hidden in Georges Seurat's 1884 masterpiece

Georges Seurat's once-mocked painting Bathers at Asnières is both an "exquisite distillation of the very essence of summer" and "a modern wonder in the art of seeing".

By Kelly Grovier

Baigneurs a Asnières.

Bathers at Asnières is an 1884 oil on canvas painting by the French artist Georges Pierre Seurat, the first of his two masterpieces on the monumental scale.

The canvas is of a suburban, placid Parisian riverside scene. Isolated figures, with their clothes piled sculpturally on the riverbank, together with trees, austere boundary walls and buildings, and the River Seine are presented in a formal layout.

A desert scene, late afternoon: a golden sky with clouds scattered across it, and a partially concealed sun. A truck is parked in the middle of a barren rise, the driver standing next to it, casting a long shadow. Visible in the distance is the hazy brown shape of a natural rock formation. Flying overhead is a black triangular aircraft seen from the rear, the red glow of the engine visible and a bright green light on the underside.

☀️ Artist: #JofreOliveras in City: #Coimbatore #Ukkadam #TamilNadu India 🇮🇳 2024 - Title: "Communion" - #Art #Streetart #Mural #UrbanArt #Artwork #Artist

Streetartwall. On two adjacent exterior walls of a three-storey modern building, a huge contiguous mural of three women standing in a body of water has been sprayed, focusing on the concept of unity despite the apparent division of the wall. Between the two walls is a narrow white partition with windows and an entrance. The mural shows a group of young women in identical white robes. Some of the dresses are floating on the water. The women are standing up to their chests in an ochre-brown lake, one of them is already up to her head in water. Green reeds can be seen in the background. The water forms gentle waves. The light falls on the women and bathes them in a warm yellow light. The scene symbolizes a moment of purification in a shared environment.
Info: The artwork is intended to emphasize the importance of recognizing and appreciating individual differences as essential components of diverse communities.

It‘s so funny to me that on all other platforms almost no one sees my posts. And then there is mastodon with no algorithm at all and for the first time I have the feeling that my art isn‘t that bad at all. 💙

A desolate sun hangs in the sky. In the foreground is a concrete wall with a giant concrete pipe opening out of it. The ground appears to be scrubby grass. A short distance away, a robot with a spotlight on its head stands facing the tunnel. In the sky, a helicopter flies overhead. This is a primarily monochrome drawing: black on gray beige.

#introduction

Hiya everyone! I'm Noo, an Australian #indiecomics author, artist, and a refugee from #tumblr after they pulled a Deviantart!

I'll primarily be posting my #art and #writing stuff, plus the occasional shitpost.

Glad to be here, big fan of open-source, decentralised stuff, Linux and not having algorithmic content shoved down your gob.

Can't wait to meet some fellow indie comics peeps too!

Adding a new handmade Robin portrait to my collection of bird paintings - Robin in the green acrylic painting in square format. Enjoy!

A collage made out of four work in progress stages of my acrylic painting, from pencil sketch to finished painting. Robin in the green is an acrylic painting in contemporary square format hand-painted by the artist Karen Kaspar. A European Robin sits on a branch and looks to the left. The background is abstractly painted in different shades of light green. The orange-red breast feathers of the songbird stand out against the green.
The robin is a welcome visitor to my garden and always inspires me to create new paintings.

An open, swampy area in a forest. It's the late afternoon; the sky is pink with the sun lowering towards the trees. There is an overgrown path with dead, branchless trunks of trees next to it. In the distance is visible a tree line. Crossing the path, heading to the right into the part of the drawing that suggests an open bog, is the shambling, hunched silhouette of something with two sharp, pointy ears and a humanoid hand. Closest to the viewer is a large, weathered yellow sign that says "area closed". A hawk wheels in the sky.

A large, rusty metal machine staggers forwards on two mechanical legs. The machine looks like something between a construction vehicle and a short, squat locomotive. It has a large grill in front, a small cab up top with no windshield, and a small door in the side. A tall smokestack extends up from the front hood. The machine has headlights and yellow warning stripes, with a faded red triangle painted on the side. Moss and dirt hangs from the underside. No driver is visible. The sky is an eerie goldenrod yellow. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".
