I'll never understand why humans stopped doing these paintings. Just because of photography? So what, that you can take a picture literally looking like >>8038642? It doesn't convey anything remotely close to a painting as a photograph. You captured a reality, a second of time. Whereas a painting captures something deeper, an expression, a manifest of reality through lens of our species. The subtle imperfection, the suble artistry, that's what makes realistic art superior over photography. I'm greatly furious, that humans simply gave up on landscape painting just because photography became available for masses. What a disaster, what a catastrophy! What a great tragedy of our time, as we're bombarded with pointless, fruitless horror of modern art which is nothing but random strokes of brush or abstract nonsense where you can't make any details should you try for 100 years. The romance is lost, the precision raped into dehuminazed fetish to undercurrent the expression of depth and character. In chase for the next great thing we leave behind the body of work of mastery, not for the sake of technological progress, but as a spitting insult which dares to slow us down. There's no honesty, no majesty, no empathy. We machine towards future like brainless destructors while being all mighty and so greatly intolerable to anything old as if the new is always the right answer. And it never is alone, as the burden of our species lies in balance, and always will.

>>8038715Agreed, brother. Beauty, in all areas of life, is rapidly being killed, and no one bats an eye.
>>8038715>>8038874Ok, so show us your paintings then.

>>8038715you put it very beautifully.
>>80387155 star post
>>8038715Sadly this condition will only get worse as AI art inevitably progresses more to mock genuine art with meaning and intention behind it, just to generate soulless copies that can be "made" by any talentless person even without a slight of endeavor or hardship, removing what made the art what it is in the first place, thus making it lose it's essence.
>>8038715>all this text for a bullshit reductionist all le modern art is le bad presented like you're actually an intellectual tradfags are all the same
>>8038715Representational landscape paintings are still being made. I like April Gornik's work a lot.However most contemporary and popular/famous landscapes are less representational or realistic and more abstract and Impressionistic. Seriously though go to any small gallery and you'll find plenty of representational landscapes usually local. All art follows trends.
>>8040968Landscape paintings are really unique and they give different vibes or perspectives on not only the style but just the overall feel. I love photography and especially great landscape and environment photography. But for me its like landscapes paintings give off a sort of "soft" comfort you really can't capture with a camera.
Where are my lighthouse paintings at?
great thread

very nice thread anonchans
>>8038715kys tradfag.
>>8043838the only one who needs to kill himself is you, faggot-faced nigger
anonchan where do you find so many landscape paintings?
>>8044268From the file names a lot of these are coming off the wiki site:https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Carl_Schweich_-_Viehtreiber_auf_einer_Br%C3%BCcke_in_alpiner_Landschaft_(1854).jpg
>>8044268>>8044269As he said. Just type in an artist on wikipedia and go to the 'commons' page. You'll be impressed how many new cool paintings you can find there. When I have the time, I go down rabbit holes, clicking on any random old artists that show up and it's worth it every time. Wikimedia Commons is a Goldmine.
>>8044679>>8044269Almost all the images I posted are from auction sites. I don't get them from wikipedia. Wikipedia gets them from those sources as well.

>maximum file size allowed is 6 MBIt used to be 8, then got reduced to 7. Why does it keep going down? Stuff I saved from this board is now too high quality to repost... Are server owners getting greedy?
>>8046440increasing quota for /b/ porn.
>>8046440Did you scale down the image? I wanted to post this, but it was more than 7mb.
>>8042413Shitty filter making ugly swirls, here's the original
>>8046912What's your opinion on Baumgartner, anon?
>>8046912It's a different painting. Same subject, but there are several small differences. Also not a filter, but probably reflections on the glass. I have the one you've posted as well.
>>8046928I don't think it's a different painting, actually. Just a really bad filter of some sorts and it's cropped as well. The small details, angles and positions are way too same and in exact same places for it to be a different painting, zoom in to check it out.
>>8046965The biggest difference is the missing lightning bolt. I don't think it's a digital filter, just odd reflections when it was photographed.
>>8046972If you zoom on the top of the lighthouse here >>8042413 you can see it's a deformed filter, so it's just heavily altered original painting.
>>8046974Yeah, you're right. I think I got it from /hr/, so someone probably altered and uploaded it. Thanks.Another lighthouse painting by Melbye.
This has been my background for months, usually I switch once a month Great thread niggers, saved so many posts here
Studio Ghibli why not
>>8047189Is that the place where Woody Harrelson yells IT'S HAPPENING and gets his face blown off by Yellowstone eruption?
>>8045919The water reflections in this one are extraordinary.
>>8047607Another excellent example from the same artist
>>8040739polish painters were on another level holy fuck
>>8038715/lit/ pays a visit
>>8038715More good landscape paintings are being made now than ever before. More art of every kind, really. Your inability to use a search engine doesn't mean we're all doomed. That's just you.
>>8050379>graffiti on the rockSuch vandalism, such savagery.
>>8050605hehIt wouldn't require a lot of 'shop skills to remove the craquelure, but it's bloody tedious.
>>8038773this one is amazing, thank you.
>>8052259Higher res
>>8052715Is the yellow hint original or due to passage of time?
>>8052726It's as intended, not age-worn.

>>8038715I like the theory that the 17thC Dutch masters used early camera obscuras to produce their most photorealistic works
>>8038715In a way it feels that within popular western culture that art like this is cemented as a historical artifact. You go to a museum or echoey art gallery to view things like this and it disconnects people from the idea of it being an artform you can and should currently pursue. Art in itself is also an after thought in education and not considered a useful skill as we live in an increasingly digital age, so the appreciation of what goes into masterpieces like this and the reward of their creation and appreciation for them in a modern era is increasingly gone. Cause it's like "who cares, there's websites full of this stuff". It's a shame and I'm really not sure if there's a way to walk any of that back or what way we can reignite a broad public consciousness towards appreciating the noble human pursuit of scratching a stick into the dirt in tribute to the beauty of this world we find ourselves in.
