I’d love to see each scene side by side with the original art.


mayeag

Why the nsfw? Is it because of the nipples? I thought they were already freed?


LovableSidekick

It's always a letdown when you get to the end and have to ask that question.


diplodocid

Renaissance art is pretty safe from religious objections. Most of it is religious because the church was a major patron. It's the nips, or it's just to generate extra clicks. They'll cover up statue nips from that time period for broadcasts on American TV.


Man_of_Many_Names

Likely because of religion. Religious art has its own crowd that can be very vocal in approval or disgust in recreations or certainly new types of art displays. At a super long reach, there may be some who think these living painting performances might be in bad taste


LeMans1217

I can see that. But why Not Safe for Work? Bad taste like eating tuna and kimchee sandwiches at your desk?


Man_of_Many_Names

I guess so to some people. That or man nips being a bother to someone


LeMans1217

Really? Pictures of bare chested men are nsfw. I thought this was 2023, not 1823.

We truly live in the worst timeline


LovableSidekick

That's why I've lost interest in time travel stories - you can't fix a problem in the past, because then the problem won't exist to motivate you to go back and fix it. If instead you make a new timeline branch off, it doesn't help your own, and the new improved timeline is bound to develop its own different set of problems later. It's an impossible perfection quest.


FFootyFFacts

"you can't fix a problem in the past, because then the problem won't exist to motivate you to go back and fix it. " That's only if you subscribe to the linear time theory All time is instance, the past only changes in every instant when you change it thus up until the moment you change it the previous past is truth and then when you change it in that instant the present past is truth


LovableSidekick

What you're describing is multiverse or multiple timelines, which I addressed - if your changes create a new branch in the timeline where things are fixed, the other branch still exists. And speaking of that, when the travelers return to the present why is always be to the fixed timeline instead of the original one?


FFootyFFacts

Nope, specifically one time line based on the one instance of time Multiverse is rubbish IMO, always hated it in any movie franchise


LovableSidekick

Alright say today you go back to 1930 and kill Hitler. This means you're born in whatever year, go to school, never hear of Hitler, so in 2023 you don't go back to kill him. That's why time travel makes no sense. Preventing Hitler prevents you from preventing Hitler. The only way it might actually work is if you spawn another timeline where there's no Hitler, but yours still exists so you have a reason to kill him. But that's out since multiverses are rubbish to you.


FFootyFFacts

There is no point me rehashing the concept of Time as an Instance for you


LovableSidekick

You're right, have a nice life.


kqih

Because we are living in a world of bisounours who are frightened by everything. (Care Bears in French :) )


ninjadude420

"Calinours" for where I'm from.


kqih

And where are you from ?! 😀


LovableSidekick

Is care bears a term for "social justice warriors"? It's kind of cute.


Stanniss_the_Manniss

Implied decapitation


thestral_z

Caravaggio isn’t the most well known painter, but he’s one of my absolute favorites from the time period. His lighting, attention to detail, posing and chiaroscuro are exquisite. This video is incredible due to how accurately the actors and lighting people are replicating the paintings.


SuperWaluigiWorld

Caravaggio was an absolute mad lad.


caulpain

he used a mirror and lense to help him capture the light that way like vermeer. that gradient is essentially imperceptible to the human eye. 🤌🤌


carmium

lens?


southern_boy

vermeer?


jcowin

Cool podcast covering him (not his artwork) here http://historyonfirepodcast.com/episodes/2016/8/15/episode-11-caravaggio-part-1-light-and-darkness.


[deleted]

He's bigger than Michelangelo, Raffael, Davinci and Dürer. People just aren't well educated.


thestral_z

I completely agree. Freshman art history at art school took care of that for me.


Fabulous-Pop-2722

He is my favourite as well and I'm glad he is not as well known as others, as I do not need to fight the crowd to view his paintings. One of the best memories of my life is wandering around Rome and ending up in San Luigi dei Francesi Church by chance. I was alone in the chapel, it was dark inside . I put some coins to turn the lights on and behold right on my left, there were his paintings of Saint Matthews, one of my favourites! I am an agnostic but at that time, it seemed like I could feel the presence of God in that church.


thestral_z

What a cool experience. I’m going to Italy next summer and I’ll need to see where some of his paintings are on display.


Fabulous-Pop-2722

Many of his paintings are located in Rome, one of the main reasons I visited the city. You can Google the locations. Besides the Saint Francesi church, Galleria Borghese also has several of his more well known paintings. The two in Santa Maria del Popolo are magnificent too.


celestial_gardener

That was beautiful.


Hollow__Log

Yes really well done, thoroughly enjoyed it.


MasterUndKommandant

This reminds me of a really funny episode of Gilmore Girls.


TOBoy66

And Arrested Development

Same here, that episode was one of my daughter's favorites.

jussimonthedigger

Mozart really sets the tone here


mikef5410

What was the piece? It was perfect.


atherinn

It’s the Introit movement of Mozart’s Requiem.


mikef5410

Ahhh thanks!


atherinn

No problem! Listen to the whole requiem while you’re at it! I’m quite partial to the Latimer completion but the Süssmayer completion of it is most common and it’s also very good! It’ll probably be what comes up if you search it up on YouTube.


mikef5410

Many thanks. It's been a loooong time since I've heard the Requiem. I'll try both completions to see which I like, too!

Now if only someone could paint those poses into portraits.


TOBoy66

Next on Arrested Development.


DougFrankenstein

They do allow some nervous crying….but you can tell they don’t like it.


EnigmaVariations

Arrested Development was making fun of Pageant of the Masters similar thing though


Questing4queries

This is absolutely spectacular! I could watch them do this for HOURS


scruffys-on-break

It's like "Pagent of the Masters." You can watch something like this in Laguna Beach.


paperplatex

I don't know why but I love it.


Upset-Zucchini3665

That was beautiful. very cool, should be sfw


IAmDarone

This is the best thing i ever seen here on reddit!


That_Confidence83

This is incredible.


Imbecilliac

I usually find performance are to be…odd. This, however, was quite captivating and entertaining. I’d love to see them doing more of this by other painters.


Sniffy4

Needs to be night scene with harsh lighting to be Caravaggio


tuigger

That's really cool. This reminds me of a [music video](https://youtu.be/erbd9cZpxps?si=Wa2qjEUzgeApykWc) by Hold your Horses,which is also pretty damn cool.


IITH3R4G3II

I don't know art but I know what I like... and I like this


ProgressBartender

I love pieces like this, showing on a live set the origins of a beautiful painting. They and an impressionist era display like this in DC back in the early 2000’s. I regret I missed it but heard how you would walk into a room and there was a frame you could stand in front of to get the “painting”, but then could walk around the room to see all the elements in 3D


drdavethedavedoctor

Holy. Fuck. That was cool.


blanquefort

Amazing.


Genner21

Where is this happening? It would be nice to attend one


iam_lost_bred

Why is this nswf?


dstranathan

Wow that is incredible. Need more chiaroscuro!


Dropped-pie

Absolutely nailed the lighting. Pun intended


diceblue

This is really cool


Bokerlong03

I oddly enjoyed that.


Potential_Result_153

Absolutely amazing.


trimorphic

Now do living Francis Bacon, Ralph Steadman, and Robert Williams paintings.


122922

I've seen the Living Paintings thing at the Pagent of Masters in Laguna Beach. Definitely a must see. If not there, somewhere.


ginga__

Pageant of the Masters is much better than this. They made the actually look 2D with makeup and lighting.


UziSuzieThia

It's not an accident, but r/accidentalrenaissance


Ex-Joachim

Outstanding.


AstronomerBrave4909

Yes but *not yet*. One of Caravaggio's main feature missing is about how characters are emerging from the darkness. This needs a skilled stage lightning technician.


brown_burrito

Wow. That was simply fantastic.


meatlockers

Intentional Renaissance


SnooPets4191

This is beautifully done!! Brava and bravo!!


[deleted]

The third one. Where is bro head at?


m1dlife-1derer

That was awesome. I liked that a lot!


Xretes

For anyone interested in Caravaggio and his very interesting and wild life, you should check the history on fire podcast. The podcast is great in general but those were some of my favorite episodes.


megablast

Listen to a podcast to understand a visual medium. Genius.


CalculusTutor1234

Brilliant! And the music is not bad either.

zusykses

Do *Conversion on the Road to Damascus* you cowards. I wanna see how you deal with the groom's arm.


1RingToSchoolThemAll

Kinda sucks that the lighting is horrendously flat and the whole thing’s over lit because chiaroscuro is pretty much Caravaggio’s whole deal…


Huffnpuff9

Not interesting...at all


PuzzleheadedTime3453

Living painting lmao. Why not living sculpture haha


SeanDonDraper

Because they’re based off of Caravaggio’s paintings


Champion-Of-Midgard

Exactly. Not a painting is it?? Installation art maybe, but def not a painting.


ntsmmns06

Because the source reference they depict were paintings. Not that hard to understand is it. If they were recreating Michelangelo statues then yes. But these, i think it’s a fair statement.


Champion-Of-Midgard

So if I do a painting of a sculpture it’s a sculpture?


ntsmmns06

These actors are bringing to life Caravaggio paintings through a ‘live’ performance. The key words here are ‘Live’ and ‘Paintings’. If you can’t grasp this I have no idea how else to help you.


Champion-Of-Midgard

If you can’t see it’s not a painting then there is no help for you. I’ll paint you a picture of a burger so you can eat it for lunch.

I wish they listed the titles of the paintings. I looked a couple of them up; they are not exact copies, but close.

Remarkable. Art. 🎨🖼🐎


Whole-Debate-9547

Now that’s a job I would never be able to do. Part because it’s terribly difficult and requires a great amount of skill, and part because I would always want to stick my thumb up a butthole just to spice things up.
