A lot of people define the Renaissance as the post-Medieval European "rebirth" of arts, politics, economy, and culture. It roughly took place from the 14th to 17th century. During this period, people witnessed a lot of artistic and intellectual growth. It was like upgrading from the Middle Ages to a more modern way of thinking and doing things.
The eloquence of Renaissance art is admired by many even today. With over 1 million followers, the ‘Accidental Renaissance' subreddit stands as a testament to people’s enduring passion for artistic expression.

That's what I thought ! hahaha ! But then I noticed that the girl in front seemed to have less space in her identical chair which would indicate that she's at least taller than the other child . But twins can be different heights and also , maybe the girl in front's body is just more extended . It's nice to image our own scenario !

In my opinion , ballerinas are a theme or subject matter that could appear in any artistic genre . Impressionism was a movement that depicted images as a feeling or impression rather than reflect exactitude or actuality , hence the less controlled brush strokes . Renaissance is an entirely different movement with its own awareness and emphasis on subject matter . I think this photo is beautifully reminiscent of Rembrandt , the master of light ,towards the end of the Renaissance period , in that the darkly depicted realism of the subject is captured in a moment and emphasized by light . These photos are dazzling

With a rich cultural past and affluent residents who could afford to encourage aspiring artists, Florence, Italy, is often credited with sparking the Renaissance. The movement was well-backed by members of the Medici family, who controlled Florence for over 60 years.
Originally, members of the family gained wealth and influence through banking. Over time, they had established themselves as prominent financiers and merchants in the city. They then used their vast wealth to support the arts by commissioning works.

Prominent Italian authors, painters, statesmen, and others declared they were taking part in a revolution in art and thought that would be very different from what they had known during the Dark Ages. Initially, the movement spread to neighboring city-states in Italy, including Rome, Bologna, Venice, Milan, and Ferrara.
Then, in the fifteenth century, ideas from the Renaissance moved from Italy to France and eventually to other parts of western and northern Europe. Even while the Renaissance came to other European nations later than it did Italy, its effects were nonetheless revolutionary.

Not just cats. We looked after a neighbour's spaniel overnight once, she spent the evening sitting at the top of the stairs staring at the wall.

Loneliness
Tabitha 1 year ago (edited)
We don’t know if she’s actually lonely or sad, so let’s not just automatically jump to that conclusion. Maybe she’s tired, and is just sitting down for a moment before getting back up and moving on. Maybe the kids and grandkids are visiting and running her ragged, and this is her first chance to sit quietly and relax before they all come busting into the room. Maybe that’s where she works, it’s a very very slow day, and she’s finished all her daily tasks early, so she can just take some time to sit and look out the window. Just because you’ve gotten older doesn’t mean your daily life winds down to nothing. Older people still work, still socialize, still learn new things, still stay active—-sometimes even more active than younger people.

"loneliness, its got your name and your new address, when it walks in the place is a mess, and it drinks and never leaves. What's it for? stood in the clothes that you once wore, stood up from the night before, do you dream and never sleep?" From a song called '3ft Tall' by a great band called 'I Am Kloot'

Lack of stimulation of the mind, causes lack of conscious thought. Fgs someone open the window and give her something to look at; we all need input.
Eventually, as a result of their explorations, commercial outposts were established in far-off places, allowing the exchange of products and civilizations. Some of the famous Renaissance personalities include Galileo (1564-1642), Nicolaus Copernicus (1473–1543), and William Shakespeare (1564–1616), among many others.
Two of the most well-known pieces of art in history were painted by Leonardo da Vinci during the Renaissance: the Last Supper (c. 1495–98) and the Mona Lisa (c. 1503–19).

Realism and naturalism were hallmarks of Renaissance painting. Many artists tried their best to represent their subject as truthfully as possible. They avoided using unrealistic, exotic, or magical themes in their work, as well as artistic clichés.
Artists didn’t add any element of artificiality in their work. Realism presents reality as it exists and that’s what creators aimed for.

Unlike Medieval art, paintings from the Renaissance depicted human emotions liberally. This change was driven by a growing interest in humanism during that period. Artists wanted to capture the beauty, complexity, and individuality of human experiences.
They even went on to study anatomy and keenly observed the world around them in order to hone their skills. Their work is known for capturing minute details like gestures, emotions, and expressions with remarkable precision.

Cat And Her Favorite Person

Naturalism emerged in Renaissance art. In Italian painter and architect Giotto's paintings from the Proto-Renaissance, naturalistic elements started to resurface. He added more lifelike forms whose expressions, postures, movements, and eye contact revealed an extraordinary spectrum of emotions.
Additionally, they were arranged in a way that created a narrative flow and gave the impression of depth through the use of overlapping figures.

During that time artists were focused on capturing the imperfections of daily lives on a canvas. However, these days many of us simply want the ‘perfect’ photos. We try to click flawless pictures that have good lighting and composition. We even use editing tools to enhance our appearance or improve the overall aesthetic of the image.
And sometimes people accidentally capture photos that match the realistic standards of the Renaissance era. Which of these ‘Accidental Renaissance' photos took you back in time? Have you ever tried clicking such a Renaissance inspired photo? Tell us your experience in the comments below!

This photo is stunning. Wouldn't call it Renaissance at all, but stunning and very meaningful. Modern setting with traditional horse paint, a commentary on how Native Americans live in the 21st century. Also distinct possibility she painted the horse as part of the protests against DAPL, and now she is standing at a gas station. No, but like, you could analyze this photo fifty ways to Sunday.

This nourished my soul! Aside from loving the era, this was just so refreshing!! In a world of beauty standards that are forced upon us and perfect lives in social media, it's nice to see REAL authentic beauty, and happiness..... I miss the beauty and awkward wholesome photos after getting film developed.....the delayed gratification, all of it....I hope this rant makes sense! ✌🏾

Only a few images could pass as Reinaissance art. Mostly would be Baroque, Romanticism, Realism or Expresionism. Reinaissance looks like a catch-all for everything from centuries 5th to 19th.

Could you replace "Accidental Rennaissance" with another phrase that would be just as short and catchy, but more accurate? I couldn't.

the pattern seems to be beautiful lighting + awkward/stiff/prone poses and great contrast. The renaissance where everyone has a painter in their pocket. Oh and cats of course.

Your expert didn't mention chiarscuro, a late Renaissance technique where the foreground is well lit, emerging from a shadowed, dark background. It's one reason so many of these photos recall paintings.
