Do you agree?The style and details are so beautiful, you can really tell the artists were skilled and put effort into it.Compared to nowadays, everything is either digitally made, AI made, or an excuse for art (like when they randomly throw paint into a canvas or any other nonsense).I specially like art from ancient times, it's like travelling back in time.
>>7426336pleb
>>7426336The picture you chose exemplifies technical skill, sure, but it's not exactly aesthetically stimulating to me.
Yes but why on earth did bouguereau become the posterboy for this shitALSO I DID NOT MISTYPE THE CAPTCHA STUPID FUCKERS
>>7426336>Ancient art>Neoclassical French AcademistYou must be retarded, anon.
>>7426357Why? Because I posted a picture unrelated to what I said?I think you're the retarded one for assuming.
>>7426358anon no, you're retarded.
>>7426343wtf is going on in that painting of yours?
>>7426336You had more involvement from mentors who gave enough of a shit to see you carry the torch; artists were very tight knit, and you always knew somrone who knew soneone who knew someone - this created a very strong, hierarchal network of support and skillful growth, and this is ultimately what you did to survive.Nowdays this more or less exists, but in the diaspora of illustrative styles, there are varying skill ceilings - very few are at the level of the golden age, since there is very little demand for it. No count, duke, or mysterious benefactor is going to buy your 10ft x 10ft painting of a beautiful lady in silken repose they want child porn now.
>>7426363Besides, what really is there to chronicle? We live in a time where the wonan in OP would be selling her shitfart britches on onlyfans.
>Ancient art>Posts Bouguereau I don't disagree, only a midwit disagrees, but you are on the retard low iq end of the "Objectively correct opinion shared by retards and high iq people" such as myself whom is on the other end.
>>7426336Did these women ever exercise? They never have any muscle mas in this. It's like they lied in bed all day
>>7426336yeah ancient art has SOUL
>>7426336This is terrible bait, but the majority of /ic/ are fucking retards with no knowledge of art history at all.
>>7426336If I could spend a few years making one piece yea it would've been much better
>>7426894Sonic underground was PEAK
yes, pre-modern art tended to be better and its artists more skilled. this makes sense though, given:>the democratization of education>the ever-increasing lack of religiosity and other traditional values>the industrial revolution (mass production, rise of capitalism, etc.)>the rise of social media (instant gratification, atomization of groups/seclusion)with the advent of AI there's only going to be more and more slop, so hold onto your rear ends, kids
I prefer Baroque artists but to each their own.
>>7426451Maybe. Also maybe people cared less or didn't care at all about physical exercises back then; the standards were different.IMO her body is good, she doesn't look fat, only out of shape.
>>7426336>>7426343>>7426914These are all peak. Show me anything painted in the past 50 years that even comes close.
>>7427016considering food was scarce and famines were a regular occurrence having some fat was important
>>7427016>>7427020>t. midwit historyletsdepicting women with visible collarbones was uncouth, much like men with large cocks in classical greecenotice how the default way to paint women from the renaissance to late 19th century was no collarbone and massive rounded traps
Yes and most of them had hundreds of finished paintings and thousands of drawings. With some even leaving over a thousand finished works
>>7426336>1895>ancient
>>7426493This . Return to monke . Throw away your computer and paint with smearing poop on the cave wall
>>7427020you what m8?
>>7426451>>7427016She's perfect.
>>7427016I don't think it's good. It looks sickly and without muscle mass she will be very frail once she gets old
me on the bottom
>>7427745You're the hog?
I was wondering if anyone cares to have professional reproductions ($$$) or just prints of some arts. I was looking at picrel and was curious if it matters to anyone
>>7429668You can get reproductions pretty cheaply. The're made in China. I got one for my sister a while ago.
>19th century>ancient
>>7427745You're the floor?
