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.

Medieval Self-Portraits: Ten Artists Who Put Themselves in the Picture

Medieval artists did not just paint saints and kings—they sometimes slipped themselves into the scene, leaving behind portraits that can be devotional, witty, and surprisingly personal.

So I feel this painting really accurately reflects the direction I’ve been aspiring to in my art. So the new year really has started off great.

🚨 Artist: #RAST / #ArtisteRast in City: #CoudkerqueBranche France 🇨🇵 2023 - Title: "Louis de Funès" (with mechanical parts in motion) - #Art #Streetart #SprayArt #Urbanart #Mural #Artist #Painting #LouisDeFunès #Gendarme #Non!Si!Ohhh!

Streetartwall. A very cool large mural with a portrait of the French actor Louis de Funès was sprayed/painted on the outside wall of a one-storey old house. The huge mural, measuring 12 m x 6 m, is also equipped with a motor and can be moved in parts. It depicts the elderly gentleman in his parade role as a French policeman in a gray uniform with a black hat. He smiles mischievously and raises his finger as if to say: "Watch out, I'm watching you". The finger is equipped with a motor and moves back and forth when it is in operation, also pointing to a lettering with the name of the city. A beach with a blue sky is painted in the background and a light blue Citroën 2CV (a duck) stands in front of the mural.
Info: Louis Germain David de Funès de Galarza (1914-1983) was a French actor, comedian, director and screenwriter. In his films, he successfully varied the role of the patriarch and choleric character who fails due to the momentum of the developments he sets in motion.
