Please post a piece from your favourite "classical" artist!

Really just looking for new pieces to do master studies from (for colour/comp/rendering mostly) but there's too much variety... Hard mode: no Sargent allowed ;D

(Personal fave is the "Roses of Heliogabalus" by Lawrence Alma-Tadema, it looks like a mess but the detailing is amazing!)

More like another thread about old oil paintings with an unprecise title.
The term might not be used correctly, but OP specifies what this thread is for in their post, the priority not being that it's actual old master paintings from before 1800, evident by them posting Alma-Tadema and mentioning Sargent.
But here, have some Van Dyck.

I didn't know before checking wikipedia, after someone posed the question here about a week ago. The more you know.
It's an art history term, but definitely used more loosely on /ic/, here including basically all skilled painters who have been dead for a while.

The misconception is wide-spread. It reaches even into successful and influential mentor-painters that are looked up to for guidance. It often thus happens that the influence and exposure that artists think are old masters are overwhelmingly not old masters.

But those are artists, not art-historians. Could one not say that outside of a scientific use, the term has a broader, more colloquial meaning? I mean it obviously does, if it is used so frequently and everyone knows what is meant by it.

I suppose I should have clarified that I'm not speaking of mere artists, but that they are also instructors who often talk about history here and there, for various reasons.

That an incorrect usage achieves a colloquial meaning is no grounds for clearance to continue with its usage and develop it even more as a colloquial term. In many cases it should rather be corrected. I should also correct myself in saying that the misconception is wide-spread as it's not entirely accurate; it is wide-spread among those who even know about the so-called academic 19th century painting at all, which is still relatively obscure to the public.

My concern with this subject is not chiefly to do with the field of art history of meaningless trivia, but for form. The way the world was viewed and painting changed either drastically in the 19th century, especially around the later half it seems, or that it gradually changed to the point that it could not anymore be accounted among the art of old masters, as when a person changes by degrees into something which could no longer be considered its old self. To theorize the reasons of this is the responsibility of historians...
