Submit your Halloween pumpkin pics to /r/horror's carving competition!

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  6. No animated images. Please submit them to /r/gif, /r/gifs, or /r/reactiongifs instead.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

For the curious: Modern Rome (1757) by Giovanni Paolo Panini; it's currently on display at the Met in NYC: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_Rome

Yo dawg, I heard you like art.

It seems that Panini loved the Duke's gallery and he painted it several times.
1. OP's image is from the Louvre, and can be seen here., note the crowded floor.
2. The Met in NY also has a version, note the perspective change.
3. As does the MFA in Boston, very similar to the Met one, but with more stuff in the foreground.
I'd love to see all three (maybe more) side-by-side.

Seeing a different painting in Andrewz111's comment made me curious. ART!

Pannini was clearly an xbox fanboy.

Meh, only two levels deep. If it was three I'd be impressed.

ಠ_ಠ I can't even paint as well as the painting within the painting.

Any idea who the artist is? It seems familiar.

I'm not a big painting guy but I love seeing the attention to detail of some artists.

Look at the size of the whole canvas though. The paintings of painting within it are as large as some paintings in their own right, and need to painted to a good standard.

It is an impressive demonstration of technique, yes.

It's not the picture "Modern Rome".

I did a 5,000 piece puzzle of this with my wife once. It's appreciated slightly less after looking at it in one inch segments, 3 hours a day, for a year and a half. Still a phenomenal piece of art.

Preemptively saying "Paintception" or any of the ilk are not funny.

I don't get it.
