I like this
* art / doodle / rendering

It reminds me of
* life's end / the smelly drunk seated at the next table over in the library / a Wal-mart greeter

The artist was particularly adept in their use of
* the color brown (were they a Wyeth?) / ordering takeout meals through Door Dash / fragrance free cleaning products

What this painting needs to make it better is
* a sniper / a doggie / happy little trees / a bonfire

79 Amazing painting

Posted by: vmom deport deport deport at March 24, 2026 09:52 AM (6U1c2)

80 This painting is extraordinary. Guercino beautifully captured the elements of aging, especially in a man. The skin textures, how his hand and shoulder reflect the passing of youth with less muscle tone and wrinkled hands, the slight yellowing of the eyes, and the sunken eyes and cheeks, all make the impression. The details and natural coloration make this almost photographic.

Beyond the technical qualities of the painting, which are huge, Guercino provides an emotional aspect. The man is aged but not decrepit. The yearning in his expression doesn't feel sad but acknowledges the passing of his prime and possible losses in his life. There's memory and reflection but not despair. Maybe acceptance.

I would hang this without hesitation. Most men my age would identify with this image and the feeling behind it.

In light of this major update, CNN officially called the war for Iran. "We can now make it official: Iran has won the war," CNN anchor Sara Sidner reported.

Underneath the hood, there's a world of smart software and machine learning models that power Halter's intelligence, turning raw data into insight that farmers can action. It's what enables the collars to guide & contain cattle, monitor their behaviour, detect when they might be ill and estimate pasture covers from satellite & weather data.  All happening in the background, 24/7.

262 Head Of An Old Man
Giovanni Francesco Barbieri (Guercino)

artuk org: Head of an old Man, Guercino (1591–1666),
Ashmolean Museum, Oxford

This boldly executed painting is probably an oil sketch made from the life as a study of physiognomy and expression. Although the man's gaze and the warm lighting suggest that Guercino had in mind a figure of a saint or a prophet, it is not connected with a final painting, nor is it a fragment of a finished work. The freedom of handling suggests a dating of c.1619–1620. A copy is in the Hermitage, St Petersburg.
--
Painting reminds me of "Why me, Lord?" question from Job.

There's another by same artist: Head of an Old Man in Profile, 17th century (Pen and brown ink on paper)
