This piece by Carlo Crivelli is interesting. It appears there is a UFO in the painting.

Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)
1] What you CAN NOT post.
You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene
You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)
The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!
2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.
This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.
3] Keep the focus.
Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.
4] Behave as you would in a public location.
This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.
5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.
Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.
6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.
Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.
7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.
- PLEASE READ -
Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.
8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)
If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

Perhaps not the best in "fine art", this painting by Aert De Gelder shows what appears to be a UFO.
Of course, thanks to Mathew Hurley's website, this is all compiled and dated. Have a look.

Originally posted by omniscient Out of all the classes i've ever taken in college, Art History was the hardest. I think it was mostly the teacher that made it hard but it was still a very interesting class just a stupid teacher. If you are interested in ART then I highly recommend taking a Art History class.Achkerov kute.

I have to say that this is a wonderful thread!
Human life itself may be almost pure chaos, but the work of the artist is take these handfuls of confusion and disparate things, things that seem to irreconcilable, and put them together in a frame to give them some kind of shape and meaning.
--Katherine Anne Porter (1894-1980) US novelist, short-story writer
The Persistence of Memory by Dali is definitely my second favorite. My first is The Café Terrace at Night by Van Gogh He used no black colors for this particular painting and yet achieved to portray the night. ". . . here there is a night picture without any black, nothing but beautiful blue and violet and green, and in those surroundings the lighted square is colored sulphur yellow and limey green. . .”

A friend of mine had Haynes, and she is as annoying as the Haynes briefs leaving marks on your belly from being too tight.Achkerov kute.

But The Cafe Terrace at Night is perhaps one of the pinnacles of Van Gogh's achievements. The beautiful contrast from the dark blue sky at night, as it blends into the warm yet succulent yellow.
It's as if the strong contrast just pulls my inside from different directions, pulling a part of me to the yellow and the other to the blue.
What a delight!Achkerov kute.

Yes! Starry Night has certainly become my one of my favorites as well due to a certain encounter. The swirl of colors is magnetizing, yet like all of his art it exudes somewhat of a disturbing feeling and somewhat of an unexplainable energy.
He does create special light in his paintings to draw the most out of colors and their effects are immensely strong. Anon, I never thought I would say that, but I am starting to like you.
