Classic Artworks, Statues, objects

AvatarChrysallida2 min to read

I'm not into social media that much, but I've noticed that certain paintings about stories from the Gods, Goddesses and Heroes just keep appearing to me. Mostly they are from the Greek side. While I was meditating for a while, out of nowhere I've realized that we don't have any topic about classical paintings and statues. Before creating art, one needs inspiration from somewhere. It doesn't have to be only paintings and statues, we could find inspiration from vases, wall paintings, objects, anything that clearly is depicting some god, a story (just don't know if naked bodies would be allowed, in that case there could have some restrictions).

I don't know if it would be a good idea, perhaps we could share some of them here, talk about a beautiful artwork, try to bring new ideas. I remember a sermon from High Priestess Lydia that tells us to appreciate real art, meditate on it. Maybe some of the paintings that I have been seeing could be even from an unknown or less known Zevist Personality, I mean some of the painters I don't recognize or know (mind also that I don't know much about art).

Since this is probably the first time I start a thread, I'll have to get to understand how to post images (and how to get them from the sources). So don't mind if this post appears and I only return for a couple of hours (my timezone also). If someone has an another idea, feel free to spread here.

This is a great idea. Yes nude paintings/sculptures are allowed, if you've seen some threads here such as the recent post by SG Karnonnos about Queen Eos, there is a nude painting of Her.

I'll start posting paintings from mostly Renaissance and Modern Eras. If anyone wants to post more, feel free. The idea is not only to show beautiful art, sometimes we don't know the artist behind it, when it was made. There are a couple of people that never visited a museum, didn't care about art at school (mostly because of the bad educational system) or simply never payed attention to the artworks.

Maybe, since we don't know everything, there may be cases where the art was made by someone else and another person took the credit, like when women weren't allowed back then (there's a sermon about women creating culture, written not too long ago, by High Priestess Lydia). Since it would be hard to read the whole biography of everyone and guess, don't mind it for now.

These are very gorgeous, but the exquisite attention to detail and composition by Herbert James Draper is really on another level.

Even the rocks and waves in the backdrop have such lifelike detail. It doesn't look like a painting, but like reality as seen through your own eyes.

Really extraordinary.

Yes, do share them, it's always fun amd mesmerizing to see artworks related to our Gods and the mythology behind them. If I remember correctly we do have a thread for arts music and movies game etc. ill have to look it up if its still there.

It's also interesting to note the concept of beauty. No fake silicone breasts, no fake eyelashes, no lip injections. Everything is in proportion and harmonious.

There is another wonderful thread made by Tethys333, displaying artworks and displaying them in depth.

I saw a few artworks during these weeks, and forgot to post them here.
I know that social media has a algorithm that gives us suggestions, but it was so funny to see a lot of mentions about Apollo (myths, artworks).💛☀️
