Is that a picture, painting, or AI? We got to a point we canβt even trust our eyes.
I'm leaning more towards AI (or painting) than reality, but it's not a confident lean.
The lighting looks pretty consistent except for that one guy fully shaded. It's hard to tell the angles exactly, but it doesn't seem like he should be completely in the shade given the apparent angle of the light and the angle of the side of the boat. But it's hard to say for sure without knowing why the immediate foreground is in shadow.
Another clue is that only the guy in the front looks like his shorts are wet at all. They are pushing a boat out, so it would make sense that they would be mostly dry above the water as they go deeper, but it looks rough enough that I'd expect some parts above the water to look wet. Though the lighting makes it hard to say for sure just how wet or dry they are.
The oars don't look right, but they also don't look wrong enough for that to be a smoking gun.
It's weird that they are all on the one side of the boat. You'd figure people launching a boat would push on both sides to spread out more.
It's plausible either way but my gut says it's not real.
Edit: removed a part because I was describing from memory and after another look, it doesn't apply, but the positioning of the 3rd guy is weird, given the position of those behind him.
Holy cow! That's not a painting?
The colors and the scene are so dramatic!
This is real? What's happening if so?
Some dudes launching a boat presumably from a beach.
Uh what
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.
