The Witches by Albrecht Durer.

I dont know this particular painting, but the face structure and open space reminds me of De Chirico :)
Well it's not De Chirico but, yes, it is by a surrealist painter.Quote:

It turns out to be Robe de Mariée/Bridal Gown
You are correct. Aren't you going to post a picture?Quote:

Van Gogh. I think it is called "the potato eaters"

The name of the painter is shown, i think he isnt very well known. All that is needed is the title of the painting :)
It is. I recognised it as a Van Gogh and just looked up the title. I hope to see the next one and hopefully recognise it faster.
It's called: Leap of Faith.

Your turn to post a painting, Genocide :)
I'm looooking. I'm trying to find one that I really liked, but I can't for the life of me remember the name... it's like I've challenged myself!
Edit:
I'll post it some other time then... here's this one.

Describe the painting, what if other people helps you to find it. Do you remember the name of the artist?Quote:

Saturn looked anything but Godly. He looked, I remember thinking, like a homeless man.
Edit: Just realized this sounds kind of creepy painting to have stuck in your head.
It is "Saturn eating his son", by Goya :)

Are you flipping kidding me? ARE YOU KIDDING ME???
This is why I hate thinking.... because I can never do it right! I kept searching for something with "prophecy." Something less literal... but I guess I should know by now that all the creativity is in the painting, not the name. Damnation.
Thanks, Kyriakos.
Did you mean Peter Paul Rubens' Saturn Devouring His Son (1636) may have inspired Goya.Quote:

Is this an actual painting or a piece of graphic design like the previous one called Leap of Faith? I think we have to stick to paintings as that is the title of the thread and graphics art too obscure to be recognised or traced.Quote:

At any rate i love it :)
And yes, i agree that we should only post paintings.
I promise it's a painting... or at least when I had to do a quick sketch of it in Intro to Drawing (shading that was beast) it was introduced to us as a painting. You can skip it if you'd like seeing as you guessed Goya's without even having a painting...
Rubens' painting was probably the inspiration for it Goya's. Rubens' is so interesting... it's definitely harsher to see Saturn eating a child over a grown, headless, body.
Yes it is graphic design. I checked out the artist and he just designs book and CD covers, posters etc.Quote:

Now I feel cheated... that's not the only site I found a picture of it on though...
Sorry about that but I'm sure that I would never have got it. I have never heard of the artist.Quote:

Frederic Remington's The Trooper ? Lucky guess. :]
I think Kyriakos should pick one.
Something's going wrong here, I just posted a reply to you previous post and it hasn't registered. So, when I posted the Remington painting, there was no title but it appeared during the actual posting of the picture. Then I had to dash off and when I returned, I saw that the title was there.Quote:

Winston Churchill was a better artist than Hitler.
The painting's title is Le Bguinage.

Now I suppose this may slow down the guessing a bit... but isn't it somewhat self-defeating if you save and post the painting with the title or author's name so that all another person has to do is click on the painting and hit "save" to discover the author? The same game is played over at Wetcanvas!, the huge art site that I post at, and they are a little bit more sneaky.
It is best to upload the painting to some site, with its name altered ;)
Yes but if you alter the name which is part of the URL, photobucket deletes the picture.Quote:
