Let's get a western art thread going.

No ((modern art)), real art. Mainly paintings but beautiful classic statues are also appreciated.

Bump

rare lepen

Laooconte from Vatican's museum

Mars Ultor (The Avenger, of Caesar's death)

...

Was Blake one of these 19th century fucks high on laudnum all the time? Fuck is going on here? Some bearded dude is fucking some woman from behind who is mourning the death of another woman, while another naked guy is running away on fire? Seriously WHAT?

Raffaello's Athenian School

Caravaggio's Saint Thomas

...

...

I've been there. That statue is massive compared to what you would think. If you spent every day for 6 months straight you still wouldn't see all of St Peters. It's fucking enormous.

Beatrice Susanne by Boldini

Blast, forgot the attachment. Bloody (((Captcha)))

Tiepolo's Aurelian Triumph

...

The Veiled Christ - Museo Cappella Sansevero, Naples.

...

Hayez - Cornaro submitting Cyprus for Venice

Caravaggio - The calling of St. Peter.

Luminism is hype, makes it look like there is something worth living for.

correction: Calling of St. Matthew.

Yes, it's really big.

Yet there's several other enormous churches in Italy that come almost close to St Peter's.
For instance, Saint Petronio in Bologna, or St. Giovanni in Rome.

Just to give you an idea of how large the statues inside St. Giovanni in Laterano are.

I went back to St Peter's several days in a row. Couldn't get enough of the place. Then the fucking Swiss Guard kicked me out. Fucking rude!

I love realist painters, and Ilya Repin is definitely high up on that list for me.
