Huh, interesting. I liked this so much I tried to look up the artist and the painting so I could get a print of it if possible. Turns out it's a shutterstock artist: https://www.shutterstock.com/g/gunarsb. I can't find any record of the image existing anywhere else before it popped up here on reddit, and I can't find any other information about the artist either.

This is the only one I can find like the one here, but the colors seem to be slightly different: https://www.shutterstock.com/image-vector/mosaic-background-tiles-squares-circle-center-527299750?src=4CfJGGWG2cyxTu6JHM7SWA-1-26. I like the colors here better though.

> This painting is a brutal illustration of many types of people being indiscriminately taken by death. Skeletons are murdering hundreds of people, everyone from peasants to nobles, and from children to the King. None are spared their fate at the hands of death. This painting illustrates the influence of the Dutch master painter Hieronymous Bosch, who also painted demonic illustrations of death and the supernatural, on Brueghel’s work. Brueghel created a few of these demonological paintings, including Mad Meg, but soon returned to his genre paintings of peasants and landscapes. This painting has also been referred to in popular culture, in books, on the cover of CD albums, and even in video games.

Here ya go! It’s mainly high quality prints of his artwork but also includes a great description of his life and accomplishments. It’s honestly bittersweet

There seems to be virtually nothing I could find (apart from some pages in Russian) about this Russian illustrator which is a real shame because his artwork is one of the most interesting I have seen. Vasilyev's work seems to use mythology as a primary subject and his work also seems to be synonymous with symbolism.

This painting struck me because it was just interesting to see the crucifixion painted from a different perspective and perhaps the only other example I have seen of this subject from a different perspective is Dali's <em>Ascension of Christ, 1958</em>. We can't be sure if he had seen Dali's work before creating this artwork but I guess he only knows!

Below is all there is on the guy on his Wikipedia page to get some background on him:

>Konstantín Alexeyevich Vasilyev was born in September 3, 1942, in Maykop, died October 29, 1976 in a railway accident near Kazan [his family did not believe the official version of his death]) was a Russian illustrator, who left more than 400 paintings and drawings. His range of works included portraits, landscapes, realistic compositions, Russian epics, Slavic and Teutonic mythology, and battle paintings. He was buried in the village of Vasilyevo, where he lived since 1949.

>The minor planet 3930 Vasilev, discovered by Soviet astronomer Lyudmila Zhuravlyova in 1982 is named after him.

If there are any Russian painting enthusiasts out here or if anyone knows more about Vasilyev, it would be great to hear about him so please do share your comments if you can!

You can also see his oeuvre in the wikiart page below. Some intense and monumental work here:

Happy Friday!

O yeah! i know that one. Worthy of Dali - so clean and sharp. Ernst's collage work is my absolute favorite, and absolutely annihilated 99.9% of the world's collage art. Europe After The Rain II is another one of my favorite of his paintings, and his visual novel Une semaine de bonte is some of my favorite collages.

Amazon Prime has a wonderful documentary on Klimt.

Gericault is one of the most fascinating artists of his era IMO. I highly recommend the book The Wreck of the Medusa for anyone that's interested in learning more about his life and his painting The Raft of the Medusa. Fascinating read.

I've liked Renoir for a long time, but then I saw Confidences at the Portland Museum of Art and I was stunned!! The white of her skirt was almost iridescent and the paint seemed to float off the canvas giving a 3D effect. I've never seen anything like it. He's an incredible artist.

Jeanne Antoinette Poisson, Marquise de Pompadour, otherwise known as Madame de Pompadour, was the mistress of King Louis XV, as well as a prominent patron of Francois Boucher. Unlike the many other mistresses of the king, Madame de Pompadour continued to be a presence at the court by creating a cordial relationship with the Queen, by accompanying the King on hunting trips and social gatherings, and commissioning paintings of herself, which hid her aging looks.

It's a nice game but I couldn't escape the room!! There's a puzzle game too.

Maybe so. I'll have to look up when this was painted though, because it seems a very saintly version of what was probably a more humble historical event. I'm just going off my understanding from this book http://www.amazon.com/1493-Uncovering-World-Columbus-Created/dp/0307278247

Which imparts the view of Jamestown as a pretty squalid unorganized venture where a lot of settlers died, not from Indian raids, but from disease and poor food and health conditions.
