I find him a highly fascinating and wonderful artist. I see its pull as a desire for the spirit to wrench itself free from matter." More information on Mutter can be found here, if anyone is interested. I shall let the artist speak for himself:: "This picture is my most baroque, in the way it fills the frame with imagery and in its nonlinear thrust. I also appreciate that the angel Gabriel is shown as nothing more than a bright light-how could we possibly depict a messenger from God, sent from Heaven? Departing from the "Mid 20s, Caucasian, sitting in an ornate room" Mary, it shows a young, perplexed Jewish girl in a realistic 1st century Palestinian abode. Why? Because it is the only one that seems the most realistic. Out of all of them, this one is my favourite. My father has a book of all the different paintings depicting the Annunciation-dating all the way from the 5th century to the 90s-including artists such as Michelangelo and Salvador Dalí. The Annunciation by Henry Ossawa Tanner (1898). I don't really care if everyone loves it and it's become "cliché" to enjoy-I think it is breathtakingly beautiful. The Starry Night, by Vincent Van Gough (1889). If you do not know the significance of this painting please pick up a history book! The Death of Marat by Jacques-Louis David (1793). Rang in the mountains, and the earth quook,įirstly, I'll re-post the painting that was in the "Stuff you love" thread:: Quote from: Selections from The lay of Leithian In that vast shadow once of yore Monuments, Buildings, and feats of Engineering Paintings (as well as Frescoes, Mosaics, etc) Basically, if you might be tought to appreciate it in a college course, please post it here (the image itself as well as a link to it, if you can manage, or a section of text if it is written with the reference information so we can find it). I would ask that anime, video games, etc all be excluded, as there are already threads for those. ![]() Post your favorite paintings, artistic photographs, poems, etc here. The compendium has threads for video games, classical music, other music, movies, random bits of information, books, and even artwork that compendiumians have made, but no thread just for sharing beautiful works of art (painted, sculpted, or in short verse).Īs such, this thread is intended for that very purpose.
