minus-squaresnooggums@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·9 months agoI am fascinated by fact that the upper right is where someone painted a painting.
minus-squareapis@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·9 months agoFascinated by what it is saying to us about the rest of the painting, and the beholder. Some story going on here!
minus-squarecraftyindividual@lemm.eeOPMlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·9 months agoThere’s always a lot going on with Vermeer. Often female subjects and the lower classes.
minus-squarecraftyindividual@lemm.eeOPMlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-29 months ago Always a story and suspense.
minus-squareglimse@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·9 months agoI thought the painting was a window and wondered why it wasn’t titled “huge baby stands outside window during the apocalypse”
minus-squareilovededyoupiggy@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·9 months agoYo dawg… We heard you like paintings…
minus-squareParadachshund@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkarrow-up0·9 months agoIt feels like a flex when painters paint paintings inside their paintings.
minus-squareapis@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·edit-29 months agoHad a wee gander at the entry about the painting on Wikipedia, and learned that that part had been painted over after Vermeer’s death, only to be revealed by restoration in 2021!
