talking about arts and painting reminds me of the fact that van gogh use absinthe while creating the starry night (source), that's why if you see the painting it look so unique. According to the RSC Education journal. In addition, other factors such as Van Gogh's mental illness, psychiatric disorders, and psychological disorders, the absinthe could be the cause of his distinctive painting style. Absinthe, which is typically made from distilled plants such as anise, fennel, coriander and wormwood, contains about 70% alcohol (140 proof). This means that drinking too much of it can result in hangover symptoms ranging from difficulty concentrating to general fatigue and weakness.


that's why, to enjoy the painting (the starry night) better, you need to be drunk because it'll make the painting look like it is moving.

So @mayuuram if you eat the painting than you also get drunk bc there is alcohol on it? 😬😬🙄🙄 But i would of course also not eat it that is only a joke!! 😛 In Amsterdam you can buy a lot of stuff from Van Gogh and the painting like for example posters or magnets or shirts but also if you are cooking the apron and for a pillow the sheets and a LOTTTT of other things.


And i never saw anybody who is drunk in a museum and i think that would also be dangerous bc they can destroy everything. But i did not know there is also art that wants you to be drunk so you can see more things of it!!!


We go tomorrow to Amsterdam and maybe we will go to a museum (but it is not the Van Gogh museum but the Stedelijk Museum) but my dad will also come bc he has a free day and schools are free today AND tomorrow. But he normally does not want to go to the museum and thinks eating is more interesting!!! But maybe i will go with my mom and he and maybe my uncle can eat. And perhaps my aunt also wants to come. 🙂 What is your favourite museum in your country @mayuuram

haha ofcourse, i mean i only explaining how to enjoy at it's best the starry night painting 🤣 well i don't really have favoritism in museum cause in my eyes it's all aesthetic

Hello everybody! I saw this and i REALLYYY want to see the show and maybe other people who like Van Gogh in this forum may also like it: https://vangoghexpo.com


It is a virtual reality show and you can look all around on super large screens all around and also below you. And it looks like you are IN the painting and it is alive. 😲😲❤️❤️


This is very nice😃

Today I'd like to introduce some "less known" Late Renaissance artist. Giuseppe Arcimboldo was an Italian painter who developed a unique style called “composite heads”—human portraits painted as collections of fruits, vegetables, tree roots, flowers, animals, and sea creatures. "The Vegetable Gardener" is one of Arcimboldo’s clever “reversibles,” or paintings that change when turned upside down. With one side turned upwards, this painting shows a still life of a bowl of vegetables. With the other side turned upwards, the painting becomes a grinning face. What do you think of it?

Guiseppe Arcimboldo is great! His portrait of Emporer Rudolf II. of Habsburg is fantastic! And the Emperorer was very amused!

I remember we had to colour out pictures of vegetables and make a portrait of it as well in elementary school in art..

That is actually really cool @Emmiiii_17_11!! 😊😊 And i like it a lot @diogenes_cask and @Piwipete!! I think it is also funny the way it looks BUTTT that way people will not only look at art super seriously but in different ways. I think that is nice!! 🙂


I already told @diogenes_cask but i had to choose my profile and the subjects for the rest of my school until the exams. But it starts in September after the summer vacation. And i have now 8 subjects instead of 7 which are normal subjects (languages, history and beta subjects). And i chose a second extra subject and it is ART HISTORY!!!! I chose it bc it is a second extra subject and the rest are heavy subjects and this is for me personally. But there are only 3 students who have chosen it. If people like it i can tell stuff that we get in our class sometimes also in this forum. But only if people think it is a nice idea. 😃

I think you've done a beneficial choice with art history. Art is the only way to be able to paint a better world since you shall learn to see it from all perspectives, and art history shall teach you as many perspectives as possible within the span of time.

Thank you very much!! I really wanted to have one extra subject that was completely that i wanted also for myself. And all the other subjects are heavy so i think it is allowed to also think of what you really like. My dad is happy bc i have also a lot of beta subjects like chemistry, physics and biology so he said yes for the two extra subjects and that is also art history now. 🙂


I will try to post nice things also here when we get topics that i think are perhaps also for others of this forum. But we start after the summer vacation with it!!

Today I'd like to share William-Adolphe Bouguereau's "La Naissance de Vénus". In general I like the paintings with mythological themes but this case is slightly different since two different artists paint the exact same scene from their very own perspectives, and in my humble opinion, that's dreadfully difficult to tell which one is better...

I like them both

It's the first time I've seen the first painting. I love them both but I think I prefer the first one. Beautiful.

I was so busy with another forum that i completely did not see the post of @diogenes_cask!!! Sorry for that!!! And thanksss @Fleurke and @cyane182 for posting too!! 🙏😊😊


For me i like the second one the best and i recognize it!!!! But i dont recognize the first one. The second one is very famous and i like that one more bc for me a lot of things you must still guess. In the first painting she is where everybody looks and the rest is more like pointing that you look at her. BUTTT with the second painting she is more covered so not fully naked and you also really think about what happens with the rest around her. For me the most the person on the right and why she has the red blanket i still have no idea. And why is the shell next to the forest and not just on the water like in the first painting. I also like the colours the most of the second painting and that i finally see a painting that i know too!!! 😛 😛


Sorry if other people see it very differently!!! But it is what i think when i see both paintings!! 🙂

Main difference between the works, is the way of representing the female body. There are different approaches among painters regarding the ways they represent the female body and how these representations are perceived. Artists such as Bouguereau often sought to strike a fine balance between respectability and eroticism when depicting female nudity. If we compare it with Sandro Botticelli's famous work The Birth of Venus, we can see that Bouguereau presents Venus boldly and naturally. In Botticelli's work, Venus' posture is called Venus Pudica (Chaste Venus). On the other hand, in Bouguereau's work, Venus' posture is called "contrapposto". Venus does not cover her pubic area or breasts with her hair. In Botticelli's work, we see a Horae trying to cover Venus' nudity. We need to see these two works as an important sources in terms of the historical and cultural representation of the female figure.

Shell is next to the forest, because the work depicts the moment when Venus lands on the shores of Cyprus. There is no great arcana in that. 🙂

Thank you very much @diogenes_cask!! I really like it when you take time to explain things that is impossible to only know from the paintings. 😊😊🙏🙏And when you read your explanation than you can see things of the paintings that you did not know before. Still after reading the explanation i prefer the second painting. I saw that @Fleurke likes both and @cyane182 likes the first the most. What about you @diogenes_cask? And others who read this forum like @Piwipete and @H_E_A_R_T and also others? 🙂


And i also have a question but i DONT mean it in an embarrassing way and it is also a question for others. You said that the first painting is also erotical and not only about art. I am not against it if there is somebody only a bit naked but if i am seeing a painting in a museum than i dont feel very comfortable if it is not about the art but somebody is almost full naked. Because people can think that you watch the painting because of that and i DONT want that they think that and it is NOTT why i look at the painting. But for example if it is only part of the painting and the painting is about something else than i have no problem with it. For example in the National Gallery i want to watch this summer the painting from the French Revolution where the woman has the French flag and runs to the Bastille. I have to look it up but i have it in our history book from school and you can see it in that museum. But she is a bit naked and that is not a problem because it is not about that but about the French Revolution. But if a painter only wants to paint in a way to just show completely naked and to make it erotical than i prefer to watch another painting. Or i would not feel comfortable what people can think why i watch it bc that is not the reason. 🙄🙄😶 I am curious if you also think that or that you have a different opinion about it. Thank you very much!!!!


And later when i have more time i will look up the name of the painting that i said above about the Bastille and i will copy it in this forum!!

Dear Yue, a little error, this famous picture is not about the French Revolution from 1789, but about the 1830 Revolution, when Charles X. was pushed away from his throne. The „naked“ woman is more symbolic then human…she is the liberty and every people will be grown under the reign of liberty. Her naked breast symbolize fertility if the nation. It has no sexuell meaning!
