Thread of surreal painting details 🧵

1. Light reflection in the eye

2. Napoleon Bonaparte studying at the military academy.

Notice how this lithograph by Jacques de Bréville depicts the young French emperor devouring books, while the shadow of his future self looms over Europe, blending seamlessly with the city's silhouette outside the window.

3. This is one of the most extraordinary details in art history.

The mirror in Van Eyck's Arnolfini Portrait is just 5.5 centimeters wide, yet still manages to reflect the entire room: the couple, seen from behind, and two other figures, one of whom may be the painter himself.

The coolest movie posters of all time - a thread 🧵

3. The Silence of the Lambs (1991)

The death's-head hawkmoth is the central focus of this chilling poster, with the skull on its back made up of nude female forms—a design inspired by Salvador Dalí's In Voluptas Mors.

Thread of childhood artworks by famous artists 🧵

1. Edward Hopper, 9 years old

2. Pablo Picasso began drawing and painting at three. When he was eight years old, inspired by a bullfight he attended with his father, he created a small oil painting of a Picador.

"At eight, I was Raphael", he used to say. "It took me a whole lifetime to paint like a child."

3. Though it may seem hard to believe, this is believed to be the Michelangelo's first known painting—completed when he was just twelve or thirteen years old.

Michelangelo's version of The Torment of Saint Anthony (1487) was based on a 15th-century engraving by Martin Schongauer, but included slight alterations: demons with glistening scales inspired by a fish market visit and the Italian Arno River in the background.

Some still dispute Michelangelo's authorship of this painting, as it was previously attributed to the workshop of Domenico Ghirlandaio, under whom Buonarroti had served his apprenticeship.

Nevertheless, Giorgio Vasari, in his Lives of the Artists—the ideological foundation of all art-historical writing—noted that Michelangelo had painted St. Anthony after a print by Schongauer, and Ascanio Condivi recorded that Michelangelo had gone to a market to draw fish scales.

Thread of amazing sculptures you (probably) didn't know existed 🧵

1. Statue of King Arthur, England

2. Melancholy, a sculpture created by Albert Gyorgy, portrays the void that grief leaves us with.

"We may look as if we carry on with our lives as before. We may even have times of joy and happiness. Everything may seem normal. But this emptiness is how we all feel… all the time." (John Maddox)

3. Christ of the Abyss is one of the most unique bronze statues in the world.

Crafted by Guido Galletti in 1954, it was placed on the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea—between Camogli and Portofino on the Italian Riviera—where it stays to this day, embraced by the azure waters.
