Basically, a candid photograph was captured inside the Ukrainian parliament.

As you know Ukrainian politics often end up in complete brawls, and in that moment, some photographer managed to capture a photo in the most perfect moment.

The photo's composition is flawless, aesthetically pleasing as the most famous Renaissance paintings and compositions

(given example by the golden ration) where the eye follows the main focal points in a fluid and aesthetically pleasing motion.

>>614111678
there's many different ways of looking at a piece of art. My interpretation is sort of the opposite, my prior understanding of the painting making the painting aesthetically pleasing to me.

>>614112288
Did someone actually paint it or is that just shooped? I want a good pic of the painting either way.

>>614112572
It is a photograph, and the bottom right picture has the photo in an frame, Renaissance style, showing how well it looks if you were to come across it in an art gallery

>>614112395
That's crazy talk man! I can see enjoying what an artiest was trying to convey, or even just your interpretation of what they were trying to convey, and then enjoying the painting more because of it, but to think of a painting as beautiful you almost certainly have to start with enjoying the way it looks.

>>614111714
What is the name of this painting, and the artiest?

>>614112847
Its named after Guernica, which got carpet bombed in the spanish civil war in 1937. Guernica gets rekt, Picasso witnesses the dilapidated city, and paints the picture.

There's many interpretations of it, but the main point is that its supposed to depict war and is anti-war.

Fuck off you uppity faggot. I didn't say he wasn't a great artist. I said i didn't enjoy the way his stuff looked. Go be a pretentious douche somewhere else.

it's one of many depictions of the slayings and beheadings. baroque brought on some pretty badass shit. people back then really liked the idea.

The car is on fire, and there's no driver at the wheel
And the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides
And a dark wind blows

The government is corrupt
And we're on so many drugs
With the radio on and the curtains drawn

We're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine
And the machine is bleeding to death

The sun has fallen down
And the billboards are all leering
And the flags are all dead at the top of their poles

It went like this:

The buildings tumbled in on themselves
Mothers clutching babies
Picked through the rubble
And pulled out their hair

The skyline was beautiful on fire
All twisted metal stretching upwards
Everything washed in a thin orange haze

I said, "Kiss me, you're beautiful -
These are truly the last days"

You grabbed my hand
And we fell into it
Like a daydream
Or a fever

We woke up one morning and fell a little further down
For sure it's the valley of death

I open up my wallet
And it's full of blood

>>614117682
this looks amazing

>>614117784
kek. That's Jim Gordon. Batman does have a son though.

>>614117730
I am, but I'm not too sure if many here are keen to it.

>>614117686
Do you happen to know the background on the characters depicted in that one though? John the Baptist story I'm familiar with, but very curious about the other if you have some info. It's an incredibly striking image.

The atmosphere he creates is pretty incredible. Borderline reality.

Is this a Jared Leto song or something?

>>614118059

One of my all time favorites.

This picture is so moving. You can see the raw terror in his eyes, thinking about what he just did. The thrashed room behind him. It's chilling.

this one always made me feel as if it's from a perspective of an undiscovered dead or almost dead body. people walking by see something but don't grasp the situation, and probably kept walking. it's that goddamn low perspective and the bright sun.
