Guest Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Armoured train in action by Severini. Discovered the Futurists at uni and loved it ever since, despite their questionable politics 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eednud Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Bit gruesome but have always liked Judith Beheading Holofernes by Caravaggio. It's the look of intensity on her face. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.A.F.C Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Feel a bit underwhelmed by most paintings but can appreciate the lifelike ones like the above. The attention to detail is incredible. I've got relatives who were friends with John Bellany and maybe the few paintings in their house put me off. Pretty odd things to look at when you're a kid TBH. To me that's just terrifying, I know...philistine etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been inn there - I remember the Breugels but not this Vermeer. Shame on me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
