Michelangelo Daniele da Volterra (dettaglio)

Attributed to Daniele da Volterra - Metropolitan Museum of Art, online collection (The Met object ID 436771)

Michelangelo is depicted with a thoughtful, introspective gaze, his eyes appearing slightly weary yet penetrating. His face is marked with the lines of age, suggesting both the wisdom and the struggles of a life dedicated to art and architecture.

The artist emphasizes Michelangelo's prominent forehead, symbolizing his intellectual prowess. His hair is short and graying, and his full beard, also streaked with gray, frames his face, further emphasizing his maturity and dignity.

Michelangelo is dressed simply in a muted robe or cloak, reflecting his modest lifestyle and focus on his work rather than material wealth. The simplicity of his attire allows the viewer's attention to remain on his expressive face.

Presumed self-portrait of Raphael.

This is a well-known portrait of Raphael (Raffaello Sanzio), the Italian Renaissance painter and architect. It is a self-portrait, believed to have been painted around 1506. The artist depicts himself wearing a black cap and simple clothing, with soft, harmonious features characteristic of his style. The plain background enhances the focus on his face, emphasizing his contemplative expression.

Poppy Blossom is a hand-painted watercolour painting by artist Karen Kaspar.
Vibrant shades of red and yellow blend together to create a flowing, abstract depiction of a beautiful poppy flower. Subtle hints of white add contrast to the vivid colors and give the impression of lightness within the composition. The painting is painted with loose brushstrokes in a fresh style, like a refreshing summer breeze swaying the poppies in a wildflower meadow.

What Were Vincent van Gogh’s Composition Techniques?

Let’s explore the composition techniques of Vincent van Gogh through an analysis of six of his artworks.

By Jina Wallwork

https://www.thecollector.com/vincent-van-gogh-composition-techniques/

#art #painting #culture

Wheat Field with Cypresses by Vincent van Gogh, 1889.

The painting portrays a lush wheat field under a swirling, expressive sky. A prominent cypress tree rises dramatically from the field, its dark, flame-like silhouette creating a striking contrast against the sky and surrounding landscape. In the background, rolling hills and olive trees add depth and texture to the scene.

Lady with an Ermine, c. 1489–1491,by Leonardo da Vinci. Czartoryski Museum, Kraków, Poland.

The painting depicts Cecilia Gallerani, a young woman from the Milanese court. She was the mistress of Ludovico Sforza, Duke of Milan, Leonardo's patron at the time.

Cecilia is portrayed in a three-quarter view, gazing to her right with a serene, contemplative expression, suggesting intelligence and elegance.

The white ermine, cradled in her arms, symbolizes purity, virtue, and Cecilia's association with Ludovico, who was nicknamed "the White Ermine" due to his heraldic emblem.

The animal also serves as a subtle emblem of Cecilia's high status and the intellectual sophistication of the court.

Here is a silly little test comic I have drawn. Enjoy it.

#art #webcomic #NatashaWinter #VirginiaDare #DimestoreNovel

A four panel pen and ink comic strip.
In the first panel Natasha is reading a book and Virginia is standing. Virginia asks "What's going on here?" Natasha responds "Comic strip."
In the second panel Virginia is examining the borders of the panel. "Oh, yeah" she says.
In the third panel Virginia looks confused. "But it's landscape," she says, "Wouldn't portrait be better for phones?"
In the fourth panel, Natasha is thinking about an old fashioned phone. "Huh?" She says, "Phone?"

Streetartwall. A funny cartoon character has been spray-painted on a square pink stand-up display. It looks like a round, fat bird with big yellow-blue googly eyes that stand together, a tiny, pointed pink beak and a gray-black plumage that makes it look like an exploding, round ball of wool. He wears little sneakers and is surrounded by countless colorful flowers. The innocent look in his big eyes and the little flowers... It's an explosion of kindness.

"An active line on a walk, moving freely without a goal. A walk for walk's sake. The agent is a point that shifts position."

Pedagogical Sketchbook (1925)

~Paul Klee (18 December 1879 – 29 June 1940)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Klee

#art #painting

Flower and Fruit, 1927, Pen and ink on paper with glue dabs on cardboard, Berggruen Collection, Berlin.

The central subjects are flowers and fruit, rendered in an elegant and stylized manner.

The artist likely focuses on the organic forms of the flowers and fruit, emphasizing their shapes, curves, and textures through fine, flowing lines.

The composition may include still-life elements arranged harmoniously to create a sense of balance and rhythm.

New work: #ALLUVION

Over the past two months I've been actively revisiting, updating/extending and now close to finishing this 1.5 year long journey... The actual journey has been much longer, been toying with (faux) fluid sims since ~2007...

A 50 second preview of one of my fave variations, best enjoyed fullscreen... Tried to achieve some molten, dichroic/irridescent glass & oilfilm aesthetics here, but there're over a dozen of other very different routes/styles possible too, with 25+ parameters to tweak the simulation and look & feel...

Made with https://thi.ng/shader-ast & https://thi.ng/shader-ast-stdlib
