Just stumbled across this painting of Drag Queen Louise XIV. I love it, so stylish and elegant.

How do you feel about Renaissance Sherdog?
 
Looks like Spacey.
 
Looks like a really difficult thing to paint

One of the most technically difficult art movement to execute(imo) and one of my favorites. It's like theatre- dynamic and high contrast.

Caravaggio was bawse.
 
I'm always partial to Caravaggio's "entombment of the Reem"....

I'd agree he's perhaps the greatest figure painter ever though, still feels incredibly contemporary unlike a lot of the more flowery stuff that followed. Typically I tend to mostly collect books for landscape work for influence on my photography but I have a big Taschen book on him.

Best landscape from this era I'd say is Claude Lorrain....

I try and nick his relaxed arcadian style quite a lot as it seems to sell well...
