Woman with a White Anthurium (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by VoltasPistol to c/accidentalrenaissance

[ A young woman with striking features gazes directly at the viewer, she is wearing a white gauzy broad-brimmed hat topped with starched eyelet lace, and her dress is made entirely of more eyelet lace gathered into chaotic-looking ruffles of all sizes and arranged asymmetrically. Her dark blonde hair cascades down one shoulder in tight waves; one the opposite side, a white Anthurium flower is pinned. There is a second woman in the photo, glancing away from us, but she is almost totally obscured by the subject. The image is cropped closely so there is not much background visible but it's dark and a similar color to the subject's hair, creating a pleasant color harmony. ]

[ A Tibetian woman clutches what appears at first to be a bunch of small white flowers, but upon closer inspection, it's the white plugs of PC power supplies dangling below her rough, well-muscled hands. She is wearing a yellow hat tied under her chin with a faded white scarf and has a traditional but ragged Tibetan-style jacket tied around her waist. It is sky blue with yellow trim. A pair of dark pink gloved hands reaches in from outside the frame ready to receive the PC parts, and a figure wearing a similar color bends over facing away from us in the upper right hand corner. Everyone appears to be standing on and among stacks of brown cardboard boxes. The background is unfocused but appears to be industrial scaffolding. ]

[ A small, long-haired dog with deep caramel coloring, except for it's face which is going white with age, rests against a dark red velvet blanket. It's ears are pressed back and it's expression seems concerned. The lighting is soft and slightly dark. ]

Village Harvest (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by VoltasPistol to c/accidentalrenaissance

Image Transcription:

[ A slightly faded photo of a dozen or so people bent down in a deep yellow field of cut wheat, picking up stray stalks of wheat where the mechanized harvester has left the field looking prickly up close, and striped from farther away. To the left of the group, the wheat stands tall, uniform, and unharvested. In the distance, soft-looking hills sit beneath a blue-grey sky. ]

AccidentalRenaissance is for photos that look like Renaissance paintings.

This means that they look like Renaissance art in their composition, their coloring, their saturation, the angle of the scene, the types of settings, etc.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Must be a photo. Not a meme, drawing, art, ai-generated or ai-enhanced image, screenshot, low-effort post, meta posts, video, or anything else but a photo.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Must be SFW. No gore, porn, extreme violence, blood, corpses, or similarly disturbing content. Absolutely no pornography, even if it's "tasteful".

๐Ÿ‘‰ Comments must be civil. No slurs of any kind or using words to insult, demean, harass, or abuse other individuals or groups.

๐Ÿ‘‰ The Renaissance part (not the photo itself) must be accidental to the photograph. In other words, no photos of Renaissance fairs, people dressed in medieval/Renaissance clothes, etc.

๐Ÿ‘‰ NO influencer selfies, professional photoshoots with watermarks, any type of OnlyFans-like content. We are not the place to work your side-hustle.

๐Ÿ“ธ If you know who the photographer is, give them credit in the comment section. This is the only type of self-promotion we allow.

๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿฆฏ Alt-Text for vision-impaired users in the post body or in the comments is highly encouraged. Just pretend you are describing a photo to someone on the phone.
