Pieter Bruegel the Elder, Netherlandish Proverbs, 1559
Fun fact: the band Fleet Foxes used a detail of this work for the cover of their self titled debut album.
Also, check out this article on Netherlandish Proverbs by Elizabeth Lunday (thanks to @johnwwilbanks on twitter for recommending it - great stuff!).

I think Thomas Kinkade should look at Pieter Bruegel’s work and never paint again/kill himself.

maybe he could just systematically break his own fingers and then fire all his underling painting mill slaves

Mark Rothko

I have seen that black and white photograph of Mark Rothko standing right in front of one of his paintings numerous times when I studied his life and work for my Art History essay but never wondered how the painting looks in colour.

This is such a treat. I would love to see this painting in person.

Born Under Punches

I really need to learn to paint

I'm a tumblr.

My name is Dan. I live in Edmonton. Sometimes I take pictures. Sometimes I draw things. I like cars and photography and science. You can talk to me on Twitter or ask me a question.

My god, what have I done?
