Forgive me if I am mistaken, is that supposed to be Anne of Cleaves?

[–]zornog 3 points4 points ago

Tom Waits really let himself go.

[–]shadyoaks 2 points3 points ago

[–]Catona 2 points3 points ago

Oh WTF...so imgur now has adds with autoplaying sound?

I know this has nothing to do with the post, i just needed to vent my extreme displeasure for this.

Adblock is your friend.

[–]cclementi6 2 points3 points ago

AP Art History exam was today.

That Victory Stele of Naram Sim question screwed me over.

I got screwed over by the train...freaking Romanticism

[–]cclementi6 0 points1 point ago

That one was Turner. I put down Akhenaton instead of Narim Sim :P

[–]thetouchablegod 1 point2 points ago

I made this the Image on the DVD for my digital photography/graphic design portfolio my senior year in high school. It made the teacher feel uncomfortable I think.

[–]Sheldon_Tupac 1 point2 points ago

Anyone else immediately think of Little Nicky?

[–]RosieJo 1 point2 points ago

That's a very famous painting.

[–]Spageto 0 points1 point ago

I'm slightly ashamed I know what this painting is.

[–]Melkor_Morgoth 0 points1 point ago

Looks a lot like Lumbergh (Gary Cole).

Rabble Rabble Rabble!

[–]the_fourth 0 points1 point ago

What the fuck is that thing titled?

[–]woop_dee_flip_n_doo 0 points1 point ago

I wouldn't be surprised if this was a satire-inspired painting...

[–]BronzeBlade7 0 points1 point ago

Bill from king of the hill. That is all

[–]MissErnst 0 points1 point ago

Scoff all you want, folks, but when I saw it in the National Gallery in London, it made me smile. At least it's art that evokes something.

[–]Natenaters 0 points1 point ago

Malkovich?

[–]JSaltsea 0 points1 point ago

Saw that in a NeverwinterNight portrait package. Supposed to represent a half-orc noble

[–]BATHULK 0 points1 point ago

The Ugly Duchess!

4 of 10. Would hit it.

[–]thehappinessmachine 0 points1 point ago

I saw this painting last week at the National Portrait Gallery in London. It was entitled "The Ugly Lady" (or at least that was the translation). It was by an italian dude (surprisingly).

[–]jakemyers7 -1 points0 points ago

art history: money well spent

[–]kdivers -2 points-1 points ago

He is probably like me and took it as a general education course. I took it with a hilarious British dude, so I could not complain.

[–]jakemyers7 0 points1 point ago

[–]Rowebro -1 points0 points ago

Is this by davinci? iv seen it multiple times I can't remember when though

[–]Li5a 0 points1 point ago

Quentin Matsys. But according to Wikipedia they worked off of each other.

[–]Rowebro 0 points1 point ago

Ya but you can always trust wiki

[–]Li5a 0 points1 point ago

hence the clarification that the information was taken from wiki.

[–]A_Nihilist -1 points0 points ago

I'll take a #3 with a large Coke, thanks OP.

[–]summerjo304 -1 points0 points ago

Dafug?

[–]AnimalAdvice -2 points-1 points ago

Not sure what's more WTF. The picture or the concept of studying for an Art History final.
