Can we have an "emotional" artwork thread? Maybe that's the wrong word. Just post any art that makes you pause and say "ah that's fucked up", or upon looking at the finer details or knowing the story hits you somewhere. My folders are a little light, and these are the biggest reminders of why I love art in the first place.

To start, everyone's fave eye and the story for the inevitable people who dont know:
>Ilya Repin - Ivan the Terrible
>"The elder Ivan immediately threw himself at his son, kissing his face and trying to stop the bleeding, whilst repeatedly crying, "May I be damned! I've killed my son! I've killed my son!" The younger Ivan briefly regained consciousness and said "I die as a devoted son and most humble servant." For the next few days, the elder Ivan prayed incessantly for a miracle, but to no avail. The Tsarevich died on November 19, 1581"

Well are you gonna post more examples? I'd be interested in seeing some that aren't emotional solely due to the subject matter crying or whatever. Like the Repin you posted and the pic I'm posting are both emotional, but they are this way largely due to the main person being filled with emotion. Any images that are a little mroe subtle?

Also a lot of Wyeth's images are filled with a melancholy, and like, I dunno, maybe a different emotion than you are looking for, but all his artwork is very emotional for me.

Which comes out of Impressionism, which followed from the Romantics before them. Classicist ideals fell out of favour, starting with the Romantics, all the way through to Modernity with a big and important pit stop at Impressionism. Which is why barely anybody, if anyone at all paints like that anymore, which is what anon asked about.
