I was reading his Wikipedia page and it seems like he was heavily criticised by critics for the use of camera obscura because he didn’t have skills to do perspectives.

Some questioned whether paintings made with this technique could be considered paintings at all.

Imagine if we taught these Victorian-era critics about “AI artists,” lol.

Oh my gosh, this is gorgeous. I’m not someone who is actively into art, so I tend to only discover artists that I like through serendipity like this. For that reason, thank you for this post.

Thanks for introducing me to this artist!

OP, please keep going. This series is really cool. I’m learning a lot!

And still he had time to conceive 15 kids (during the day, I suppose).

Holy smokes.

I found my new wallpaper. Thank you.

These are really good
