Hello. I had seen a painting with a central figure of a variation of Hermaphroditus, moon on the background, very romantic in style and fairly mystical. I haven't been able to find it again. Does anyone have a clue?

Going with people can be fun, but really you'll have different opinions and you might want to linger longer than they, or vice-versa. The shared experience and conversations are fun but being beholden to somebody else's enjoyment not so much.

Came here to post this

The central Figure in Bosch's Hell has long since achieved meme status. M.C. Escher executed a fairly straightforward copy of the (detailed) image earlier in his career, and if you watch very early Simpsons episodes, theres an ep where Bart is knocked out and has a 'near death-experience'. He promptly arrives in hell, beholds a Matt-Groening-version of the image, and then the devil informs him (Bart) that it's not his time yet.

>>984951

I literally saw this in a museum the other day, in a quiet, out-of-the-way room with some Goyas.

Since it's a print, I suppose it would make sense that lots of different places have copies or multiples of it.

pre raphaelites are the best aside from early impressionism ( the good one and not the "I just do whatever I want" like sorolla and sargent) also the most dreamy and mythological motifs

>"One of the painters commissioned to make a ‘Batavian’ painting for the new Amsterdam town hall was Rembrandt van Rijn (1606-69). Rembrandt chose the moment of the oath of the Batavians in the sacred grove, as described by Tacitus, Histories IV, 14. Civilis, with crown and sword, is the main protagonist of the composition. Unlike his fellow painters, Rembrandt decided to depict Civilis with one blind eye, as some of the sources had described his appearance. In 1662 it was reportedly on display at the town hall, but shortly afterwards, it was removed from the building. The painting, originally measuring more than 5 by 5 metres, was reduced to about 2 by 3 metres, which incidentally makes Civilis`s blind eye more clearly visible."

Art novice here. I remember walking into some museum during my youth and seeing wall to wall portraits of young women, from their shoulders up.

I remember many of them being incredibly beautiful.

Could anyone name me an artist who has done some exquisitely beautiful female portraits.

Since you clearly just want help identifying what you saw back then (and I"m intererested in helping), you should give more details as you are able. general location, type of pictures (photo/painting/prints), type of costume the women were wearing (if anything), etc.

I like Sargent's women.

>>991075

If you eat moldy ergot-rye bread, you will trip ABSOLUTE BALLS and the visions of your trip will be reproduced in your art.

Although it is easy to abuse drugs, the moral is: don't discount the effect of getting fucked up in making good art.

>>993651

I'm cool with looking at anything that looks similar, I've seen female portraits all over the world, I just remember this one instance more than any others.

I think the place was some famous mansion converted into a museum. I know it was in Europe, maybe France or Germany.

The women in the portraits were wearing maybe Victorian era dresses? My child-self just thought they all looked like princesses, so royal-type clothing.

The only other thing I remember besides them being painted from shoulders up is that most of them were facing the viewer.
