Most that aren't Romantic or Mannerist are very muted and calm. I'm actually in Italy right now so I'm seeing a ton of cool stuff, it's great. Anyone else a huge fan of Artemisia Gentileschi? She's absolutely incredible.

>> No.1926504

>>1926499

she is. but there is a lot of controversy over wether the work attributes to her was really hers, and not her fathers.

she is a woman after all. however if she was legit, then her woman-ness males her work that much more amazing.

>> No.1926510

>>1926504
That was only when she was 17 and made her debut paintings. People didn't believe she could have painted that well because she was a woman so they assumed it was her father.

The rest of her career is without a doubt her though, she studied under Caravaggio and was pretty well known. I think she got better than Caravaggio personally.

.... WHAT? That is just completely ridiculous. There are naked babies in art all the time, and aside from that, people take photos of their pudgy poop machine's in the buff all the time as family photos. Thinking of these paintings sexually except for handsome dead Jesus or qt 3.14 Mary is just silly.

I suspect it's mostly yellowed varnish. There is a certain painting which is a variation on Madonna and Saint Anne by a student of a Leonardo which shows a better glimpse of what the colors of Leonardo might have really been like since it's in better condition and is restored. Or maybe there's a lot of art styles/circles that aren't really exposed now that have a lot of colors, really. Especially around the time of baroque onwards, textbooks and courses and what not are trying to portray then into stylistic niches that's easier to explain but isn't always true.

Andrea del Sarto. Highly under-rated.

Interesting.. Also I've heard rooms lit by candles have darkened paintings as well due to the smoke.

And fucking Leonardo, he liked experimenting with pigments and binders which is cool for him but shitty for us because his work had a tendency to fall apart. People have been sticking his Last Supper together since he painted it
