I put "Portrait in Black and Gray". I knew it is commonly known as "Whistler's Mother" but I didn't want to put that except as a last resort. Couldn't remember "arrangement"
Great quiz! I hope you do more like this. I got 10 from the titles and then got the rest from the artists' names. This is a really good way to help me connect the images with the names in my mind.
Despite seeing the Garden of Earthly Delights a hundred times I still thought it was some dada artist. Zooming into different parts of that painting look like entirely different styles.
totally loved this! If I didn't know the artist by name, I could tell the century and country...surprised myself, but I've been studying history and it paid off. Looking up some names, I got lost in all the art...spent the whole evening looking at new (to me) art by old artists and new (to me) artists...Thank you!
You would need a much, much bigger picture to show the entire triptych. If you know the painting, it should be very recognizable based on the part that is displayed.
I think it's a bit presumptuous to declare that if you know the painting - a large scale triptych dominated by greens, light, and human figures - then you should recognise it from a small, dark, surreal subsection that is in contrast to the larger image.
I'm not saying you have to replace the image, but that comment comes across as unjustifiably arrogant.
Art is my trivia weak spot. I can never go on jeopardy because of this weakness. Give me geography, music, science, pop culture, history, sports, but not art. I need to learn me some art.
Wonderful quiz!! Scored a perfect 💯! Too bad more people didn't know the Velazquez painting as it is one of the most amazing excerises in perspective in the world! You are looking at the scene as the King and Queen of Spain.... who are only seen in a mirror because they are the real subject of the painting! Keep up the great art quiz series!
Wasn't "Garden of Earthy Delights" the whole trypich though? It would have been easier if you used the whole thing or at least the more famous centre piece.
