I really fucking love this one, so tense.

>those masculine jawlines

Waterhouse was a fucking retard.

Yeah, don't know why, i don't mind them though, it gives them a classical greek appearance to me and i quite like it.

Kek, she looks like she has downs syndrome, thats the only one that bothers me, but come on Waterhouse was a beast. The nymphs look very feminine though.

You mean late 19th-early 20th c. /realism general/?

You can post what ever you want mate. Nobody is going to stop you.

I know they arr rook same but i love the look

I've always wondered about this pic.

Is it the worst case of artist sameface ever, or are the nymphs all supposed to look identical for dat spooky supernatural vibe?

All the pre-raphaelites suffer from it, just look at Rossetti, i have no clue why apart from that being an idealized representation of women.

And pic related, different portraits of different historical persons and actual women, yet they all look exactly the same.

>it gives them a classical greek appearance to me

That's because you don't know anything about classical Greece. Only a fraction of the statues has a "manface".

Waterhouse can't help but paint a retard-jaw half of the time. He had an infantile obsession with Anglo mythology and was probably a racist too.

When it comes to painting women, Bouguereau is the way to go.

Fuck Anglos.

are you referring to a guy that had a sexual fetish for tiles? i think i remember him. but, no, im not him

Bouguereau was probably a pedo, and Jesus Christ why are you such a bitch, i get it you don't like Anglos, contain your butthurt next time, there is literally nothing wrong with Waterhouse you're just anally devastated.

and by obsession, i just mean an autistic obsession. nothing sexual

pic related, girih tiles are aesthetic af

this guy had strange recurring style as well

...

Meh.

The only painting I genuinely like of him is the Lady of Shalott.

wtf I hate grapes now!

>all this martial art

in my opinion socialist realism is the best style of painting

why
your pic for example is third rate french impressionism

It would have been cool if socialists stuck with more avant-garde movements.

...

nah, I think they made a good choice by sticking with realism

realism showcases actual talent as a painter and things that regular people can relate to rather than filthy abstract bourgeois degenerate art

So you're a reactionary?

I think the better question is why are you a revisionist traitor and enemy of the proletariat?

These are eye rape.
Meanwhile,
is gorgeous, serene and beautiful.
Ugly socialist art, completely meaningless except as propaganda.

how are they eye rape?

It's like looking at a bunch of fractals. It hurts the viewer's brain to try and process it.

They only created these inhuman looking LSD mosaics because their terrible religion says they can't do actual artwork.

well, i guess it can look bad to most people. i really like it

heres a less vibrant example of girih tiling from andalusia

>They only created these inhuman looking LSD mosaics because their terrible religion says they can't do actual artwork.
i think it's simpler

no need to be so rude. this is just a nice comfy art thread

apologies, just wanted to throw in my two sense on how this style might came about considering christian architecture had functional purposes too
could've phrased it better tho
sorry if I offended somebody

no problem. i really like byzantine/roman mosaics, too

If you posted anything from the 19th century you're a pleb.

>Ugly socialist art, completely meaningless except as propaganda.

Looks good to me. What do you not like about the painting?

/a/ go away

...

...

>all this 19th century and preraphaelism

Disgusting. Post flemish and dutch art you fags

the amount of detail and symbolism in this painting is ridicilis

i especially like it for its use of perception. the skull at the bottom is great
