Almost hard to believe this is a photograph. I wonder if it has been altered at all.
Most likely. Dodge and burn are just two of the most common tools in a photographer's arsenal. Pretty much all of the photographs in National Geographic have been altered with these tools, and nobody would call them fake.
Kudos to the artist here. Amazing piece.
Iβm not sure of course, but I canβt see any artifacts or anything that looks out of place - I think this one is probably just a great photo. Good exposure, focus, plus the lighting in the image helps out a lot poppin those details and highlights. Would also be really curious if this was altered and if so, how so
On second glance, the beams above her directly seem a liitle strange, they seem like the coloring was modified or something, hard to tell with smoke though
Everyone liked that
Wow, that's an amazing image .. a painting, in real life
This is a painting, right?
AccidentalRenaissance is for photos that look like Renaissance paintings.
This means that they look like Renaissance art in their composition, their coloring, their saturation, the angle of the scene, the types of settings, etc.
π Must be a photo. Not a meme, drawing, art, ai-generated or ai-enhanced image, screenshot, low-effort post, meta posts, video, or anything else but a photo.
π Must be SFW. No gore, porn, extreme violence, blood, corpses, or similarly disturbing content. Absolutely no pornography, even if it's "tasteful".
π Comments must be civil. No slurs of any kind or using words to insult, demean, harass, or abuse other individuals or groups.
π The Renaissance part (not the photo itself) must be accidental to the photograph. In other words, no photos of Renaissance fairs, people dressed in medieval/Renaissance clothes, etc.
π NO influencer selfies, professional photoshoots with watermarks, any type of OnlyFans-like content. We are not the place to work your side-hustle.
πΈ If you know who the photographer is, give them credit in the comment section. This is the only type of self-promotion we allow.
π©βπ¦― Alt-Text for vision-impaired users in the post body or in the comments is highly encouraged. Just pretend you are describing a photo to someone on the phone.
