Holy Cow....that's pretty amazing. He used an Ipad so I'm guessing he could zoom in to get those very fine details and build on it.

Thanks to the art historian Winckelmann, the Dying Gaul was formerly called a gladiator; but with his moustache and neck torque he is clearly what the Roman historian Diodorus called a “shaggy haired gaul”. The sculpture is a Roman copy of one of the Hellenistic bronze figures erected at Pergamon by King Attalos 1st (241-197 BCE) commemorating his victories. Despite celebrating triumph, the dignified pathos of the defeated “barbarians” is preserved.

The sculpture was a favourite amongst the dilettanti of the neo-classical era, and it often features prominently in paintings of wealthy collectors in front of their repositories of art. Its fame was boosted by the restoration of the right arm, by Michelangelo. In the ebb and flow of the Napoleonic wars the location of the original shifted between Rome and Paris, amid much celebration each time it was moved

He looks like a pornstar from the 70s.

Many Gauls shaved their faces but had staches

[Animal]

many Gauls today can be found watching Magnum PI reruns, Smokey and the Bandit and 1986 episodes of Jeopardy.

Lascaux caves- SW France- Discovered only 80 years ago. Positively aged at 17,000 years ago (15,000 BC). Somehow painted all these deep underground using some light source that they can't figure out. It didn't leave any soot smoke on the cave walls

It's called fire. Remember that time you fell in your BBQ? That's fire........

I think he was saying it wasn't fire because there was no soot on the walls.

They've found several/ many of these "Art" caves over the last 170 years in France and Spain all kind of the same time frame. They found one near Lascaux but 50 years before. The art was cruder but did contain a clue that may have solved the mystery. It was a broken ancient stone lamp that was probably discarded. Had an image of an Ibex on the bottom. Had a handle and they figured they used some kind of fat, mineral or other material that gave off a bright light but little/no smoke. Stone lamp of Grotte de la Mouthe. Probably 12-15,000 years old

So, fire........

that's an almost disney level drawing of an Ibex on the bottom of that thing.

That ones sitting in a museum. I'm thinking your artwork probably is found at the bottom of trashcans.

You know those cave dudes were probably well versed in hallucinogens. I can see them on a Friday night after a good meal of mammoth heading to the caves and getting high as a fuck and doing some painting in the firelight.

I misunderstood what you were saying. Yeah, I guess if they were painting awesome animal figures deep underground with artificial light, they could do a mean Ibex above ground in the sunlight.

Sounds like a weekend for most of us around here in our youth.

Not sure if it's the same thing but since the beginning researchers at Lascaux have complained that photos do it no justice. It's because the painters painted it along the rough outline of the walls giving it almost a 3-D effect. Bison in the foreground, deer in the background. That type of thing.

Caravagio

I really like Caravaggio. Really interesting play between light and dark.

You may want to make a note... 24 Nov 2021, PBS, Secrets of the Dead, "The Caravaggio Heist"

Just a reminder about this show tonight.
