I really like most of his work, he's able to capture very naturalistic expressions while sending a message. It was painted in the 1870s and making the younger guy in lighter colours, struggling with the harness probably reflects a growing sense that coming generations wouldn't tolerate things staying the same in Russia. ...or he did that bit last and he only he had lighter coloured paint left 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I picked up a book in a second hand bookshop called "Picture This" by Joseph Heller (author of Catch-22). It's all about the Rembrandt painting above of Aristotle (a bugger for the bottle) and is a damn good read. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eednud Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Worth bumping with a painting for our time. “Plague In An Ancient City” by Dutch painter Michiel Sweerts, painted between 1652-1654. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zetterlund Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Also perhaps one for our time, I stumbled across this Alex Shaefer chap on Twitter who paints banks on fire, among other things. I actually really like his LA cityscapes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeTillEhDeh Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Not one painting as such but a whole series of frescoes in the Chapel of Eleonora da Toledo in Palazzo Vecchio, Florence. I generally prefer a visit to Palazzo Vecchio than the overcrowded Ufizzi next door. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Maybe it’s been mentioned already, but I like this pretty famous Edward Hopper painting. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeartsOfficialMoaner Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 I like Banksy. I went to see an exhibition of his and it was brilliant. His art might be dismissed by some as only street art but his traditional art is Also, his heart is in the right place. He is special. He is really funny as well. From the olden days...Hubert Robert is like an old timer that would now be doing Judge Dredd stuff. He is something, his artwork is huge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Maybe it’s been mentioned already, but I like this pretty famous Edward Hopper painting. I like a lot of his stuff, went to Disneyland Paris a few years back and stayed in the New York hotel. Most of the artwork in the hotel was Hopper stuff, and when you see it large scale like some of it was it looks fantastic. I like this video from YouTube 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
