i definitely prefer this
Love this photo, way cooler than the other.
It's cool, but this isn't Accidental70sAlbumCover
This picture makes me sad
Is a doorbell phone literally just what it sounds like? Idk when these were popular but I was born in '95 and I've never seen one.
I was born in '86 and I've never seen one either. Not sure when or where these were popular. I'm not even sure what they do. Ring when someone is at your door I'm guessing?
They're common in apartment units with door buzzers. When somebody rings your buzzer, the phone goes off, and there's some way to use the phone to buzz them in. It's just an alternative to the intercom panels that some buildings use.
Ah ok. Good to know!
Those bpt doorbell phones are used mostly in flats, I have one as well 😅
We never use it though. It's for speaking to someone that is ringing on the door, to ask them who they are etc. Pretty useless.
Not useless at all!
We live in a student apartment complex, located in the same building as a popular bar. Drunk people sometimes buzz us to get locked inside the building, and this way we can identify that they are not to be let in. When friends and family come to visit, they can also buzz and then we know to let them inside. Of course, we could walk down 5 floors to decide to let people, but I'd rather not if not strictly necessary.
Or to tell the pizza guy your apartment is on the third floor
I see I see, this thing becomes quite useful for an apartment complex. We have that thing placed literally 7m from the door on the same floor while living in a rather suburban street, so visits we get are mostly familiar people and few jehovah witnesses lol
The downside to having the penthouse is that the paperboy will always press your button first.

This has generated some really interesting discussion on what a Renaissance-type photo is or should be, so I really hate to remove it.
On the other hand, the purpose is for photos that actually look like Renaissance art, not just containing some elements of it, such as chiaroscuro, for instance. Containing the elements of Renaissance art doesn't necessarily mean it looks like a Renaissance (or of course the extended art styles through the 19th century we allow) painting.
The elements of Renaissance art (Chiaroscuro, sfumato, symmetrical, asymmetrical, and dynamic composition, Golden Ratio/Fibonacci spiral or sequence, foreshortening, Pyramidal composition), can and are easily found in almost any halfway well composed photo or painting of any style you can imagine; it's the overall combination of those elements (er, not necessarily all at once, but usually more than one) that make it look like a Renaissance painting; and the same with the other genres we allow. It's the overall look of the photo IMO that makes it look like a certain genre.
Will leave up for a bit for some more discussion, but this will probably be removed so that it doesn't give the wrong impression on what we're looking for.
looks like the beginning of a commercial about domestic abuse
It’s just nice to see the word ‘chiaroscuro’

i thought he meant Brazilian bbq
That's churrasco (read xu-has-ko, the "a" as in cat, the strong syllable is the "ra")
It's basically the juxtaposition of light and darkness.
Gives me Stranger Things vibes
Came here to say that myself. It could have easily been a promotional poster.
Looks more like a r/fakealbumcovers to me
It’s kinda sexy
"Still Life With Telephone"
Could you please explain chiaroscuro? Like ELI5?
in art, is the use of strong contrasts between light and dark, usually bold contrasts affecting a whole composition.
The contrast between light and shadow.
This dude was the master of it.

Someone needs to make r/accidentalpainting or r/accidentalart or bomething because half these pics here aren’t renaissance but they’re still beautiful as hell
EDIT: turns out the former is real and a counter sub to this one. shall we revive it?
There are several similar subreddits posted on the sidebar including r/accidentalpainting, r/accidentalartgallery, r/accidentalbaroque, etc., and I'd absolutely love if some of those got revived!
This doesn't belong in this sub.

Everybody run! It's a keyboard warrior!!!
Some 80’s action hero is about to take a call on that and shit is about to go south.
Could be a scene from a Michael Mann movie...

0/10 needs more decapitation
Never heard of the words chiaroscuro or doorbell phone
this is oddly beautiful
Ou I love the baroque vocabulary
why am I moved by a doorbell picture?
i like how the shadow reminds me of a film projector too
We have this one
Would you say that you improved on some methods and employed some chiaroscuro shading??

Chiaroscuro is absolutely renaissance.
You’re pretty smug for someone with that username
Another random post that has nothing to do with this sub...
It’s about renaissance style, which doesn’t exclude the possibility that the subject matter is modern. It’s irrelevant to whether the composition and lighting are reminiscent of a renaissance style.
Chiaroscuro was absolutely used by renaissance artists, I say it fits just fine
Honestly I was going to remove this one but missed it the first go-around. Because really what the sub is about is whether it looks like Renaissance art. Containing the elements of Renaissance art doesn't necessarily mean it looks like a Renaissance (or of course the extended art styles through the 19th century we allow) painting. May have to remove it after all although I kinda hate doing that to posts which actually get popular and generate discussion.
this might not but the second one that was taken from a different position does ans there's a link of in in the discussions
I actually prefer the second one as well, but still not convinced on the Renaissance aspect. They're both a bit minimalistic overall, with just the wall, the light, and the phone, and very little art between the 14th and 19th centuries featured minimalism.
I see you are a person of art culture as well
