Portrait of Federico Zuccaro, by Fede Galizia (1604), oil on canvas, at the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy.

It shows Zuccaro in three-quarter view against a dark, neutral background, emphasizing his face and upper body.

The sitter has short, thinning gray hair, a high forehead, and a neatly trimmed gray beard and mustache.

His expression is calm and introspective, with slightly downcast eyes.

He wears a dark, austere garment typical of late 16th–early 17th century elite fashion, offset by a crisp white collar.

A scene that looks like a clumsily assembled stage set. Two-dimensional colored stars hang from strings against a blue-purple canvas. The canvas has several visible patches. The stage is a curved yellow-green surface that resembles a hill, with visible seams and a round hatchway in the middle from which a brown ladder is protruding. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

What feels strange about the people in Seurat’s painting? | National Gallery

"Georges Seurat's painting 'Bathers at Asnières' is a simple picture of men and boys relaxing by the River Seine and yet there is something unsettling about this scene."

Bathers at Asnières by the French artist Georges Pierre Seurat

"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." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bathers_at_Asni%C3%A8res

The King of Coins card is depicted in the form of a Watusi bull. This bull is rich, stable, and successful. Covered with gold and other precious metals of the planet Earth, symbolized in the coin above its head. Obsessed with power the king goes beyond earthly riches therefore the universe surrounds this animal with glowing stars and colorful milky ways. Above the coins, we can find the astronomical bull symbol holding horns and coins majestically together. https://www.deviantart.com/sylviaritter/art/King-of-Coins-969260255

Study Shows That Viewing Real Art in Museums Stimulates Brain Much More Than Reproductions.

Art lovers travel far and wide to see their favorite paintings in real life. Surely, they may have seen them dozens of times online or in books, but getting to witness the real thing just hits differently.

irl with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer.

Johannes Vermeer - https://www.mauritshuis.nl/

The painting shows a young girl, dressed in an exotic, turban-like headscarf, with a large, luminous pearl earring dangling from her ear. She gazes over her shoulder, her lips slightly parted as if she's about to speak, and her eyes, wide and clear, seem to engage directly with the viewer. Her pose and expression convey an air of mystery and intimacy, inviting interpretation and speculation.

The background of the painting is dark and neutral, allowing the girl's face and clothing to be the focus. Vermeer’s use of light is extraordinary, with soft highlights accentuating the girl's cheekbones, nose, and the glistening pearl, creating a lifelike, three-dimensional effect.

Impressive level of dedication.

"In the summer of 1963 Jerry began drawing a map of an imaginary city. [...]

Years later, the Map is now a two-dimensional “virtual world” art project which is now comprised of over 4000 individual eight by ten inch panels."

Polish composer and virtuoso pianist Frédéric Chopin died #OTD in 1849.

To this day, Chopin's music remains one of the most widely performed, and an indispensable part of the universal piano repertoire. Along with Franz Liszt, he is the father of modern piano technique and influenced a whole line of modern composers, including Claude Debussy, Alexandre Scriabine, Maurice Ravel and Sergei Rachmaninov.

Things from the Flood. By Simon Stalenhag. Translated by Martin Dunelind.

You are a young Swedish teen, growing up in the aftermath of a failed industrial project that may have opened a portal to another world, but the poisoned and destroyed landscape is your playground, and the agonies of adolescence find a comfortable home there.

Hi mastodon,

I'm an artist in the ligne claire tradition, based in Sweden. I'm in the process of leaving Instagram. Follow me for scifi/fantasy drawings.

#introduction #MastoArt #FediArt #Art

EDIT: I now have more followers here in a few hours, than I gained on instagram in something like 6 years. It's as if Zuckerberg has been keeping me artificially down. Thank you all.

Two spacefarers by a blue alien monument with a humanoid face on the top and some inscriptions in an alien language, looking out over a vast purple jungle down below. There are two moons in the sky. It is a digital drawing in the ligne claire tradition.

The more she thought, the more questions she had, and the more questions she had, the more time she wanted to work her way through them.

"If people reap what they sow," she wondered, "what do those who sow fear, so that they can get more money and power, eventually harvest?"

It was one of many questions. She had no answer yet, but that didn't stop her from asking.

There's no highway, no smooth road to drive over, just this winding dirt path that looks like it will take its time to get to the foothills of the mountain.

But the mountain is pleased by the road, because it doesn't want crowds of cars parked at its feet. I suppose that mountains, in their rocky way, value a bit of privacy now and then, just as we do.

As a child in a religious household, I was admonished to not ask questions, because that's how the devil worked doubt in one's heart.

"Trust the pastor," was the message.

Seems silly, doesn't it? But the same message is fed to us outside of the church when we're instructed to "Trust the science. Listen to the experts. Don't do your own research."

I think asking questions is an absolutely sound plan.

I freely admit that I have no desire to clamber about a roof repairing clay tiles, but I most definitely enjoyed viewing them from our apartment balcony in Orvieto, Italy.

(And I heartily admire those who clamber about on those roofs, repairing them.)
