🎨🦇 You know their names - Sorolla, Van Gogh, Velazquez, Rembrandt, Klimt, and many others - but can you describe their unique artistic styles?

In this MEGA 🧵 let's use #BATMAN to learn what makes each renowned painter unique.

#midjourney #midjourneyAI #AIcommunity #AIart Image
All the #PROMPTS are as simple as this:
➡️ BATMAN BY {NAME}
(i.e., Batman by Velazquez)

If the result wasn't good, a famous painting is added to the prompt:
➡️ BATMAN BY {NAME} IN THE STYLE OF {PAINTING}
(i.e., Batman by Velazquez in the style of Las Meninas)

That's it :)
1. #JoaquínSorolla

Known for his mastery of light and vibrant beach scenes, #Sorolla might depict Batman under the bright sun of Valencia, casting a dramatic shadow, with the cape mimicking the fluidity of the sea. Image

What a fabulous review by Nina Siegal @nytimes of the major #Vermeer exhibit @Rijcksmuseum!
She shows how Vermeer—aptly called “the Sphinx of Delft,” as there is almost no documentation of his life—has so enthralled us that pop culture has stepped in to fill the breach: 1/ Image
from Tracy Chevalier’s Girl with a Pearl Earring, to emeritus urban studies professor Philip Steadman’s geometrical speculations, to the magicians Penn & Teller’s film about a proudly untrained painter named Tim Jenison trying (in vain) to recreate a Vermeer in a warehouse. 2/ Image
But this exhibition, curated by Gregor Weber, focusses on what we can know: how science & art came together to create the magic of Vermeer’s painting. As I argue in my book Eye of the Beholder, Vermeer & the other Dutch painters of his time were fascinated w/lenses & optical 3/

Ongoing thread on #HansVermeer's 1984 (Skopos Theory explained), on #Translation. Let me start with some of my favourite quotes:
"Language is a system" (p. 19)—>Hence, discussing about how to translate a single word is a misunderstanding of the way language works. 1/
In HV's words: "Simple signs can be combined to form complex signs, e.g. words form sentences, and sentences form texts. A sequence of simple signs is not just a collection of signs but a new sign of higher rank […] The formation of super-signs is language-specific. 2/
A word in one language can correspond to a phrase in another" (p.19).
"Signs delimit, determine, condition and define each other's meanings. Signs form language- and culture-specific fields"(p. 20) 3/

1. “La joven de la perla”, obra maestra de Johannes Vermeer, pintada alrededor de 1665. Hoy podemos deleitarnos viéndola en el museo Mauritshuis de La Haya, en los Países Bajos.
Johannes Vermeer (1632-1675) nació en la ciudad de ⤵️
2. Delft, pintor poco prolífico, apenas pueden atribuírsele unos 40 cuadros. Llevó la pintura de género holandesa a su máximo apogeo.
Vermeer se caracteriza por cuidar cada detalle del proceso artístico, desde la preparación del lienzo, hasta las pinceladas con las que ⤵️
3. reproduce texturas que parece podamos tocar, juegos de luces y sombras…
La joven de la perla no es un retrato propiamente dicho, sino que es lo que se denomina, un “tronie”, un género pictórico típico de la holanda del s. XVII que significa “rostro” o “expresión”. De ⤵️

Se acerca el final del ciclo artístico dedicado a los #ColoresConNombrePropio para el #TwitterCultural.

Todos aplaudimos la idea del pendiente luminoso en "La joven de la perla". Pero no hay luz sin oscuridad: #Vermeer lo sabía y usó el #NegroMarfil para crearla.

Sigue👇🏽
Desde el #impresionismo, hay un cierto tabú sobre el negro. #Monet decía: "el negro es la muerte de las sombras".
Pero esto es incompleto.

Los grandes maestros de otras épocas usaron pigmentos para conseguir diferentes negros y uno de los mejores fue el #NegroMarfil.

Sigue👇🏽
Lo que quería decir #Monet es que las sombras no son negras: tienen color. Y usaba mezclas para conseguirlas: los "negros cromáticos". Además estos negros no "ensucian" ni la paleta ni el resto de colores. Conseguía grises sumando colores complementarios. Pero otros no!

Avanzamos en el ciclo artístico dedicado a los #ColoresConNombrePropio para el #TwitterCultural.

Algunos serán raros y otros parte de la historia del arte. ¿Qué amarillo "especial" usó el genial Vincent #VanGogh al pintar "La noche estrellada" en 1889? ¿Y por qué?

Sigue👇🏽
#VanGogh configuraba su paleta con: ocre amarillo, amarillo de cromo y amarillo de cadmio, naranja de cromo, bermellón, azul de Prusia, azul ultramar sintético, blanco de plomo, blanco de zinc, verde esmeralda, rojo madder, rojo ocre, sienna crudo y negro de hueso.

Sigue👇🏽
No es raro usar 3 amarillos: le gustaban y entre pintores es algo bastante habitual. #Cézanne usaba 4 habitualmente, algo ya más raro: Amarillo titanato de nickel, Amarillo Nápoles, Cromo amarillo y Amarillo ocre.

Fijaos en estas obras, versiones de "El sembrador".

En el hilo de hoy hablaremos sobre uno de los más importantes e interesantes falsificadores en la historia del arte que logro engañar a todos, incluso a los nazis:
Jan van Meegeren, que seguramente a @fernandoplazap le va a interesar. #TwitterCultural.
[Abro hilo]
Antes de ser conocido como el mayor falsificador del sigloXX Meegeren era un profesor y pintor de cierto exito recidiendo en Scheveningen, Países Bajos, dónde pintó "El cervatillo" en 1921 y "Strangenrers" en 1928 que se hicieron muy populares.
Realizó numerosos viajes a Francia, Italia e Inglaterra, y adquirió un nombre por sí mismo como talentoso retratista. Sus clientes quedaban impresionados por su comprensión de las técnicas de los maestros holandeses del siglo XVII a quienes admiraba.

Un diálogo. Un mensaje. Y el cuadro más grande del genio de #Vermeer.

Veníos a Betania en este #HilodeArte: “Cristo en casa de Marta y María” (1654-55) Image
Si algo destaca en la obra de Johannes Vermeer (1632-1675) son sus cuadros de género, costumbristas y alegóricos. No es #pintor de temas históricos ni religiosos.
Pero al comenzar su carrera, tenía que demostrar su habilidad, y el tema bíblico era lo más 🔝 de la época.
Este es un #cuadro de grandes dimensiones (160 × 142 cm) narra un episodio recogido en el evangelio de san Lucas: estando en #Betania, Cristo es invitado a comer en casa de tres hermanos amigos suyos: Lázaro, Marta y María. Image

NYS Tax Dept reviewing fraud allegations involving Trump

The Trumps’ tax maneuvers show a pattern of deception.
