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.
๐ 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.
๐ Must be SFW. No gore, porn, extreme violence, blood, corpses, or similarly disturbing content. Absolutely no pornography, even if it's "tasteful".
๐ Comments must be civil. No slurs of any kind or using words to insult, demean, harass, or abuse other individuals or groups.
๐ 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.
๐ NO influencer selfies, professional photoshoots with watermarks, any type of OnlyFans-like content. We are not the place to work your side-hustle.
๐ธ If you know who the photographer is, give them credit in the comment section. This is the only type of self-promotion we allow.
๐ฉโ๐ฆฏ 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.

Ah, after reading the article about what happened: for those who can't make out what's happening, middle camo dipshit is pointing a pepper ball gun at the priest, and apparently just fired it. That dot to the top left of the pastor's head may be the pepper ball.
For those who don't know, you are not supposed to use these pepper guns at such close range (I mean, ideally you wouldn't be using them at all on protestors, but jesus the fucking overton window is fucked right now). They can cause quite a bit of damage that isn't the 'intended' purpose of deterrent when used at close range.
I don't know which article you read, but I can tell you straight up that you're mistaken about what this photo is showing. Middle camo is holding a big thing of pepper spray or similar irritant, which IS designed to be deployed at this range.
This, of course, doesn't change the fact that dipshit shouldn't be in Chicago, let alone pepper spraying (presumably non-violent) priests, but we don't need to invent misdeeds, there's plenty real examples to choose from.
Yup, you're right. My bad. I don't know how I missed the giant blue can.
