Is it too late to troll with Hirst's polka dots he didn't even paint himself or did someone beat me to the punch?
The Rothko room at the Tate Modern is one of the most amazing experiences I've had with art, I could spend hours in there. The way that the muted lighting and close seating interacts with the paintings makes them feel almost like portals to another world. Images don't do it justice.
Also, as much as I can appreciate the technical aspects of renaissance/classical painting, I honestly find religious European art to be a complete bore much of the time. Such a conservative subject and style.

Amazing thread. Beautiful thread.
I have a request, but it will be very difficult to find. It's a piece of artwork I have been trying to find for years... I saw it once, and never found it again. It was probably a digital artwork, but it was some sort of green field, daytime. And there was this giant kinda robotic angel/celestial being that was kinda spooky. It had a big glowing halo of some sort.
Please let me know if you guys remember anything like that.

Post more art blasphemers
I haven't seen anything that beats this one yet:
Since this is basically now a "post cool paintings" thread, I thought I'd shard some pieces from Mark Maggiori, who's work I've recently become slightly obsessed with. He's a French painter who specializes in stunning depictions of ranchers the American southwest.

His stuff is the fucking best. I just got my print of The Crossing framed yesterday, and could't be happier with how it came out.
Can you please post the name of the work and the artist? Everyone else has been pretty good about doing that.
Yeesh, once out of a few times I didn't do it out of my like 70 posts in the thread gets called out!
Saint Michael Triumphs over the Devil
I agree completely. I understand culturally why the painters explored Christian motifs and subjects in their work, but don't enjoy that subject in art.The Rothko room at the Tate Modern is one of the most amazing experiences I've had with art, I could spend hours in there.

Rothko on the other hand is amazing (especially in person). The Tate is just another reason why I need to go to London.
One of my favorite Art Movements is from the post 1821 revolution artists of Greece. While I don't usually like my art to be as nationalist there is something profound in this depiction of their last push after an extremely long siege:
The crumbling walls, the overwhelming odds, the sheer exhaustjon seen within the women and dying men, and the inner belief of something above giving them strength, its all exactly as it should be.

Man looking at so many great paintings in so many different styles, makes me look back at our media movies/videogames and how boring they all look compared to this. Why can't creatos today experiment a little, video games specially, i loved Limbo cause it was a great game but it's style had a lot to do with it.
Personally, i really like the paintings depicting humans being terrible to each other, shows so much raw emotions and just how awful we are and have always been.

Gotta go indie mostly. The cost of games maybe scares people from experimenting too much.

Ilya Repin: Sadko in the underwater kingdom
Sadko played the gusli on the shores of a lake. The Sea Tsar enjoyed his music, and offered to help him. Sadko was instructed to make a bet with the local merchants about catching a certain fish in the lake; when he caught it (as provided by the Tsar), the merchants had to pay the wager, making Sadko a rich merchant.
Sadko traded on the seas with his new wealth, but did not pay proper respects to the Tsar as per their agreement. The Tsar stopped Sadko's ships in the sea. He and his sailors tried to appease the Sea Tsar with gold, to no avail. Sadko's crew forced him to jump into the sea. There, he played the gusli for the Sea Tsar, who offered him a new bride. On advice, he took a mermaid named Chernava, the last from all of 900 mermaids, and lay down beside her.
He woke up on the shore of the river Chernava and rejoined his wife.

the use of color is incredible, damn
It's ok. Too many naked babies for my taste though.
This is my personal favorite:
This is what I was looking for when I entered this thread (not realizing how old it is). There are so many great stuff in here
Wow.I'll assume John William Waterhouse was posted but not Cleopatra.
There's not enough Bosch here. No one else draws ears armed with daggers, blue birds eating people while on a toilet, pig nuns, pink flute monsters, some kind of sea Bishop, sledders... is that a rabbit?
No one paints them as well is my point.
These hurt my brain with how good they are. It's like looking into the sun but it's art.

I didn't realize at the time that I posted that this thread was started last year, so it must be this one haha.
I love Caravaggio, but I like Artemisia Gentileschi even more.
Ooh good taste! I've seen that Judith in person, so lovely when it's so big.I love Caravaggio, but I like Artemisia Gentileschi even more.
I just saw it in person for the first time a few months ago!! It's one of my favorite pieces, so it was kinda surreal to finally see it. I also got to see a few Caravaggios the same day :)

Holy shit, it looks so life like
This was shared in the Elden Ring thread (thanks Masagiwa!):
Cool dark fantasy art with frequent Dark Souls-style inspiration (well, it even has one actual DS fanart haha). Very high quality stuff. There's a few metal album cover arts in there too, unsurprisingly.
Couple of samples:
