Incredible what a talent... So hard to believe that this is pre-jugendstil/art-nouveau!

Just letting you guys know these's have been a dream on acid cheers lads

How can one civilization get so based in art & architecture?

And even when Piranesi engraves it 1500 years later, a ruined Corinthian capital & column look better than every modernist piece of shit.

but... >>2652700

Godward's story is so sad: estranged from his disproving family, and eventually driven to suicide by lack of work, which he attributed to modernist art having made the classical style unfashionable. He's said to have written in the note: "the world is not big enough for myself and a Picasso." What an ignoble end for one of the greatest masters of texture the world has ever seen.

this thread is fucking amazing

best thread ever

Is this a study ? A sketch ?

What's the meaning of "cappricio"? Some paintings have that name and it seems that all depict random monuments put together.

Why do these all look almost amateurish? Is that some kind of weird meta style?

How come the gay porn art from ancient Rome and Greece never made it? Were they destroyed?
