Photographer Mark Preuschl recreates Georges Seurat's famous impressionist painting

[VinceInMT]

That's a lot of effort to just have some fun…..

Are “fun” and “lots of effort” supposed to be mutually exclusive?

Fun?

Well, photographer could have added in the frame the beer and pizza that were part of the shoot but that would have resulted in a slight loss of authenticity in the recreation...

More "Fun with Caravaggio" :

(and yeah, he got the key light on the wrong side....)

And your point is?

Oh, apparently I have no point. Go on with your nattering.

 

[Alex Benjamin]

Oh, apparently I have no point.

Since this thread started with pointillism, that's really unfortunate .

(Sorry about that.)

(Sorry about that.)

I liked it. Any attempt to not suck the life out of every little thing here is appreciated.

That's a lot of effort to just have some fun. Besides, it looks like AI to me.

Too old

Also, not remotely as good as this one from 2017

Folks - no religious discussion!

I once had someone claim they had found a lost Caravaggio painting that might be worth millions, and wanted me to examine it before they tried to track down an expert on the subject. From clear across the room it looked awfully amateurish to me; but it had the relevant style and symbolism, and it looked old. I told him it might have some secondary historical value as a student copy of some otherwise unknown Caravaggio work. But I was skeptical of even that. So he paid me to do a little of my own forensic work. I took pictures of it on my copy stand using heatlamp lighting, Tech Pan film, and a deep red filter - and sure enough, that revealed underpainting of a Victorian Dogs with Cards theme! No need to spend even more money with the experts. One more bubble burst.

Just took a second look at the photo and the painting. What happened to the cigar? Talk about sucking the fun out of something!

It's a pretty half-hearted attempt at "reconstructing" that painting. I give it a C minus.

This is an awesome creation. I want to see more creations like this in the future. Cudos to the Creator
