European Paintings

[Aunt Hilda]

There is in every European’s mind the image of a painting which bears a peculiar importance in his national history. Some of those paintings could be found on national banknotes, others still figure on postcards, in adverts or on CD covers.
There was the need to reconstitute a European overview on our collective patrimony.
When Picasso meets Turner or Delacroix, when Rembrandt appears closed to Munch, Bruegel, Klee or Klimt, this is the expression of a rich culture which can’t remain divided in isolated areas.
This list of European renowned paintings offers you the opportunity to appreciate our European inheritance.

Well they didn't ask my opinion, so obviously list is fake. Why do you hate Estonia?
did you want them to send you a letter? the list is not fake. :picard1:
I don't hate estonia, I dislike 1 estonian, there's a difference.

Yes I want them to send me a letter, otherwise the list is fake.

Lol, you think you are better than Karl. So let's say I theoritically hate you. Why? Let's say because of your continous badmouthing of my bros the Estonians. Should I now start trolling Scots? Maybe not. Why? Because unlike you I'm not butthurt.

F off troll, I didn't slander estonia. my problem with that guy is his rude behaviour towards me.

[Harkonnen]

F off troll, I didn't slander estonia.

Sure you didn't. You're totally innocent in all of this. You don't deserve this treatment at all. You deserve your revenge



my problem with that guy is his rude behaviour towards me.

So silly little caucasian grl wants to get her revenge. Sounds fair to me. Just about square. Only remember that revenge is never a straight line. It's a forest, And like a forest it's easy to lose your way. It is easy to get lost. It is easy to forget where you came in.

You deserve your revenge

But then again so do all of us


You are innocent

We are all innocent

Is there really no other thread for paintings?Anyway, I really like Slavic mythology and Russian history influenced art made by painters like Konstantin Vasilyev, Boris Olshansky, Vsevolod Ivanov, Viktor Vasnetsov etc.

well, the website says that that the list is submitted by people who are from those countries.

ah, then it's not strange the elction of 'Guernica' in spanish case.

Spain has much better significant paintings than this, in ancient and in modern times.

Medieval Flemish paintings were quite amazing.

Look at the mirror in the back and all the detail.

Yes, everything from the late Gothic period coming from the painting crescent (Flanders-France-Italy) is pretty great. The van Eyck family is obviously the most renowned.
