Gostei do seu blog. Eu estava pesquisando retratos do Botticelli para fazer uma comparação com retratos do Modigliani. Muito boas as fotos.
lovely.
Excellent very modern but classical at the same time.
i love this era of painting, the skill in these photographic artists is a touch unnerving. my favourite is Vermeer, however the Scarlet Johansen version of Girl With A Pearl Earring has picked up on all the wrong aspects of the original painting.
The girl in the painting is wearing blue and yellow for a reason, to create harmony. But the addition of the red in the S J version spoils that.
Also the girl in the original painting is positioned deliberately to make the viewer wonder why she is turned away but is looking back. Is she running away and does not want to leave? Is it a longing stare of passion at a time where she must leave the one she loves? Who knows. However S J is clearly positioned on a chair pouting at the camera as if she were getting paid an obscene amount of money to not give a shit.
Love the photos of Paula too. Shes such a naturally pretty girl with a talented father.
great take on vermeer’s subtlety … agree a well known star such as SJ should be avoided in the reenactment …their well known-ness works against them … my experience is if you cast an unknown you get greater mystery , subtlety , innocence as in vermeer’s original …yup, dm, i like your 2-year old comment …
The photos are awesome.
READ THE BOOK BY TRACY CHEVALIER IT ROCKS!!!

Girl with a Pearl Earring

Awesome work, what an amazing face.Beautiful
knoxvomica, there is nothing classical about these paintings. They are much later — Renaissance and Baroque.
i have to do a project and im drawing the girl with curly hair and a red dress i luv that painting
Absolutely stunning photos! The girl looks like an Angel. Brought tears to my eyes.
found this looking for pics of the painting. Very talented and artistic photographs. The look of the girl; especially the sunburned pic! I loved the photo of her with her blue velour hoodie and her porcelin skin and rosy lips…it’s very artistic impressionistic.
I like how you kept up with the whole pose and stare and didn’t change that! Keep up the art!

love all of them
Very interesting. I just stumbled onto this site after reading The Doors of Perception by Huxley. Love the framed art of the girl with the mp3 player…it’s sort of a paradox.
fantastic………..marvel……
Exquisite , disturbing.
