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.Originally Posted by Kyriakos

Personally i save the image to my computer, alter its name, and then upload it to either tinypic.com or imageshack
I couldn't get StLukes picture which I think is a medieval illuminated manuscript but I couldn't trace it.
I'm going to try image shack below:

It works up to a point. I shall have to find out how to transmit the image rather than the URL.

I know very little about art, but St Lukes has posted the medieval manuscript picture before somewhere, in a piece about William Blake. I dont know the title though.

Yes I remembered it too, but he has posted so many pictures on various threads that I didn't know where to start looking .

You can either go through his blog where he keeps a log of all his artistic essays, or go to his website http://stlukesguild.wordpress.com/ and scroll down the page. It's not even that far down.

Brian, you can save an image off the web to your hard drive and then edit it any way you wish... including "painting" out signatures or changing the name of the file. You then upload to Photobucket or some such other hosting site. Once you have posted it you can always delete the image... although I have tens of thousands of images saved... which is no problem with a newer computers and all their storage capability.

Now, now mortal... considering that I post everything using a Photobucket account, I could always delete the image.
Clues: The book is alluded to in The Name of the Rose.
It is Spanish.

I usually use tinypic.com after saving it to my computer with a simple name.
Spanish? Not Italian then? This is a tricky one...
The work in question is Spanish from the Romanesque period. The work exhibits aspects of the Mozarabic style... elements of Moorish African merged with the native Spanish. The book from which this image was taken was surely known to Picasso and influential upon his art... especially upon the painting, Guernica. It is from a book of commentaries upon the book of Revelations that was very popular with Spanish writers/artists of the time.

Are we talking about the same thing here. Is the last picture that you posted, from a Spanish book?
