Beauty is literally subjective. There are things we can find aesthetically pleasing but what draws the eye can be literally anything.
And besides, what about horrific imagery in art? Murder, rape, war? How can these be "beautiful"?

Who is this?

>implying the soul exists

I saw a 6x4 reproduction of this painting up close, the level of detail is seriously crazy.

Who made this? It looks a bit like a Rembrandt, but I've never found a source on it.

They used to call this hazing back in my day

youre thinking of beauty in the wrong context.
beauty isnt pretty or good looking or nice, beauty is closer to an emotion, a state of being. A painting may capture it, a poet may explain it, and i personally think music is the most efficient way of conveying beauty.

beauty can be horrifying, it can be terrible because those are all parts of a higher human existance.

12 faggots running around in a circle with their fingers up each others asses is not art because it does not speak to any higher spiritual form of human existence.

one of my favs

kek that's andrew hales from LAHWF

that is one meaty fucking pole axe one of them has got!

fucking sleep paralysis

...

...

>implying there are levels of spiritual existence

you probably are religious too

...

...

Do still life paintings do that? Speak to a higher calling?
Art can lack beauty, it's still art, but it can be bad art.
Just like dubstep can still be music, it's just bad music.

>you probably are religious too
>implying thats a negative state of existence

Holy shit

they can.
dont get me wrong, there can be bad art. but some things are just not art. things like pretentious modern art are not art because they are dont for attention, with no dedication to the craft and no connection to deeper aspects

Architecture count? Or just paintings?

The Cossacks of the Zaporozhian Cossacks, inhabiting the lands around the lower Dnieper River in Ukraine, had defeated Ottoman Empire forces in battle. However, Mehmed demanded that the Cossacks submit to Turkish rule. The Cossacks, led by Ivan Sirko, replied in an uncharacteristic manner: they wrote a letter, replete with insults and profanities. The painting exhibits the Cossacks' pleasure at striving to come up with ever more base vulgarities.

According to a legend that emerged in the 12th century, the two sons of Clovis II revolted against their father after he had set off on a crusade. Alarmed by her sons' rebellion against their absent father, King Clovis, their mother - the regent Sainte Bathilde - has their tendons cut before sending them, immobilised, downstream on a barge to their fate.

Let's have some badass poetry:

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

what are they, a bunch of fags?

Its OK to not get it

The Battle of Shipka Pass consisted of four battles that were fought between the Russian Empire, aided by Bulgarian volunteers known as Opalchentsi, and the Ottoman Empire for control over the vital Shipka Pass during the Russo-Turkish War (1877–1878). The crucial moment came in August 1877, when a group of 5,000 Bulgarian and 2,500 Russian troops repulsed an attack against the peak by a nearly 40,000 strong Ottoman army. The Russians and Bulgarians had made a gallant stand. In the final having finished their ammunition, they threw rocks and bodies of fallen comrades to repulse the Ottoman attacks.

Im art motherfuckers

Margaret Corbin at the Battle of Fort Washington (Manhattan Island) 1776
During the disastrous New York campaign of 1776 only one Patriot stronghold remained at Fort Washington on Manhattan Island. Cut off from all help or escape, the heavily outnumbered patriot garrison grimly awaited the inevitable British assault on their positions.
In a small redoubt outwork, 25 year old laundress Margaret Cochran Corbin stood by her husband who was manning two cannons. On the 16th of November a massive Hessian column of nine regiments clamored up the rocky slopes to assault their position. During the long fighting Margaret’s husband was killed and she stepped in to his place to help man the gun until she herself was gravely wounded in the arm. The fort fell, and after treatment she was returned to the Patriot side by the British. Granted a pension after the war, “Captain Molly” as she was known, lived at West Point until her death in 1800 where she was buried.

someday we will user, someday

why aren't the kinghts riding horses?

I lament the fact that we'll never build things like this again.

but yours looks like shit, user.

No...

The Assyrian came down like the wolf on the fold,
And his cohorts were gleaming in purple and gold;
And the sheen of their spears was like stars on the sea,
When the blue wave rolls nightly on deep Galilee.

Like the leaves of the forest when Summer is green,
That host with their banners at sunset were seen:
Like the leaves of the forest when Autumn hath blown,
That host on the morrow lay withered and strown.

For the Angel of Death spread his wings on the blast,
And breathed in the face of the foe as he passed;
And the eyes of the sleepers waxed deadly and chill,
And their hearts but once heaved, and for ever grew still!

And there lay the steed with his nostril all wide,
But through it there rolled not the breath of his pride;
And the foam of his gasping lay white on the turf,
And cold as the spray of the rock-beating surf.

And there lay the rider distorted and pale,
With the dew on his brow, and the rust on his mail:
And the tents were all silent, the banners alone,
The lances unlifted, the trumpet unblown.

And the widows of Ashur are loud in their wail,
And the idols are broke in the temple of Baal;
And the might of the Gentile, unsmote by the sword,
Hath melted like snow in the glance of the Lord!

So is it one retard in here posting artworks without their titles and historical context or multiple who have all somehow found each other?

Brennus
In 387 BC he led an army of Cisalpine Gauls in their attack on Rome and captured most of the city, holding it for several months. Brennus's sack of Rome was the only time the city was occupied by a non-Roman army before the fall of the city to the Goths in 410 AD.

Is it fake :(

here you go b0ss!

Ok, as a girl, let me tell you. First off, you're ugly, you have really bad features and you seem to be aware of it since you post just half of your face anyway. Far from art, I'd say. Now get out.

Tits now, bitch. You know the rules.

Yea and I'm outta here. ((:
