How about trying for something new?

It's only four pictures in, user.

So let's try something new.

The Surrender of Breda

Matejko made some really crowded paintings. Very impressive though. The Battle of Grunwald is a huge huge painting.

Stanczyk is absolutely perfect with all the symbolism behind it.

Got any non european art?

...

wrong one

Not sure who painted this but it shows the Samurai the Dutch had hired to massacre the inhabitants of the Banda Islands.

Thats pretty neat.

>Japan: supplier of war crimes since 1592!

Finally, Turner. Also I'm surprised the lewd art hasn't come in yet.

Comfy

This artwork is pretty good, I own it. It's by Ralph Wall but I can't find a single photo or thing about it besides this.

Don't post shitty versions of pictures.

please elaborate

This painting shows a king's jester on a ball. On the table is a note signyfing the won battle of Orsha and the loss of Smoleńsk land. While the lords are partying in the room behind only(ironically) the jester ponders about the defeat and what outcomes this cound bring(suffice to say they were pretty bad).
Also though the window a coment is seen - an omen of ill fate.
This XIX century painting shows how irresponsible the polish nobility was which resulted in the patritions of Poland. Here, only the "stupid" jester cares about the future.

the jester is also seen on where he wonders if allowance of secularization of Prussia is a good idea (spoiler: it wasn't)
Matejko liked to self insert himself as Stańczyk the jester in his paintings.

Dom João II offers is legacy to his son Dom Manuel I of Portugal. by Carlos Alberto santos

Does music count as artwork?

I went to that touring Pompeii exhibit, and you when you first walk in, they play music from the HBO show Rome, which I thought is ridiculous when they have access to actual historical music like this

which sounds way cooler

Quick question, for a paper I'm writing.

What were the tiers of art that French schools would judge their applicants on?

Can't find it on google and I haven't gotten decent sleep cause of finals.

I remember it was something like:

Shit tier: still life paintings
Ok tier: figure paintings
Good tier: genre paintings
Great tier: ???
God-tier: historical paintings
