I doubt people qualified enough visit this place.

Why is european art so fucking unaesthetic and stiff and lacking in style?

Eastern art is superior.

>being a fucking weeb.

Y-you don't have to be 'qualified' to have an opinion. I can get 'qualified opinions' easily, I'm more interested in Veeky Forums's opinions.

It depends on style and personal tastes. But since I've seen so much Western art I find it boring myself.

...

Okay lads, time to analyse the dozen or so allegories in this painting.

I find pre-impressionist european art to be too literary minded. Everything tried to be realistic.

I blame the weak culture of calligraphy (and graphics in general) in european culture for lack of abstraction in their visual art.

>How long is this going to fucking take?
>Nearly done, men.
>Captain this better be part of our wages. We seriously gonna pose for weeks on end with all our armor n shiet?
That is what I think happened here.

Sure those aren't volunteers?

Wow, what a piece. I'm overwhelmed...

Have you heard of this period called "The middle ages"?

I like the detail of the elephant painted in the Low Countries a few thousand miles away from either Africa or India.

PS, good luck analyzing the symbolism

In 1600's Netherlands, it was popular among Dutch Militiamen to have "Company Portraits," consisting usually of their officers.

Case and point: the most famous. Memefully known as "The Night Watch." But its proper title is "Militia Company of District II (Amsterdam) under the Command of Captain Frans Banninck Cocq."

Those civic militias were just bourgeois military clubs weren't they?

That's still striving for realism, just being inept at it.

Meanwhile in Yapon...

>The Garden of Earthly Delights is the modern title given to a triptych painted by the Early Netherlandish master Hieronymus Bosch, housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid since 1939. It dates from between 1490 and 1510, when Bosch was between about 40 and 60 years old, and is his best-known and most ambitious surviving work.
>It dates from between 1490 and 1510

What the FUCK!? This man was wayyy ahead of his time. This work blows Dali and the surrealists out of the water.

Realistic portrait paintings predate the one shown by a 70 odd years or so, manuscript illustrations were always out of perspective and stylized to a degree even when realistic portraits were a thing.

Nope. Militias did important work such as policing and augmenting the military.

Remember: Netherlands was a republic.

Albrecht durer painting is 1499

This manuscript illumination was made like 15 years later.

And don't forget tapestries!

Nah, it's just that not many people figured out linear perspective at the time.

Not to mention the complete lack of any composition. All visual elements are just strewn around, "draw what I see" style.

It would be a stretch to call european medieval art "art" at all. More like "a visual representation of events". Basically a diagram, a protocol drawing.

...

I doubt the guy who made ever saw Saint Ursula though, I mean the lived 400 years apart at least.

Go fuck yourself. Art is any creative expression created with the intent to convey meaning.
