4967 - Van Gogh

Vincent van Gogh in 360.


Don't click on the picture. I didn't figure out how to post the 360 picture. But here's the LINK that will take you to the 360 site.

I still can't get over the fact that he sold ONE painting in his life - and the multi-millions for which any of his paintings goes for now...

Mike, that 3-D effect is quite stunning and the high definition image really does bring the painting to life even more. But, just for a moment, lets specifically take a look at some of the characters being depicted in the painting, firstly there's the geezer at the table who looks like he's in tears, and then (when you pan around) there's the other geezer just outside the cafe whos looking really miserable. Well after that admittedly rather drawn out and extensive explanation (that's been deleted) of why those two individuals in this quite impressive Van Gogh painting were looking so solemn, let's get back to the painting itself, it isn`t perhaps his greatest known work but it does exude his classic style and craftsmanship beautifully. Vincent Van Gogh is now revered as a great painter (and rightly so). BTW, once again, great painting, I think its marvelous.

EC - I love his style. And when it's full screen right in front of your face it really jumps out at you.

RO - It is isn't it.

LJ - Well, it looks like you're interested in something else besides PH. Congratulations. (Even if I did have to delete half of your comment.)

Very cool!

Mike said...

DSWS - Especially full screen.

Mike, strictly speaking, I don't (repeat DON'T) have any real or substantial interest in anything other than the quite astonishing 17-year-old Pauline Hickey from 1985 (and admittedly the quite stunning 26-year-old Valentina Giacinti from 2020 of course! What an incredible babe that bird is). It's just that I once did see Van Goghs original (yes, ORIGINAL) sunflowers painting on display in a museum and I always remembered how so many people were gathered around it like it was the greatest painting and treasure in the entire museum, since then I admit that I have been fascinated by the cult of 'Vincent Van Gogh' although not to the extent that it's ever come close to outweighing my obsession with the two gorgeous birds mentioned above, obviously! Cheers.

LJ - I had to fix 14 spelling errors for you. And Valentina Giacinti? She doesn't quite fit your preferred profile.

Yeah, I only saw Valentina for the first time last year in the birds' World Cup when she scored in Italy's round of sixteen victory over China and then received the player of the match award, when I saw that interview she did after the game I knew I would love the bird forever, what a stunner that bird is, although admittedly she isn`t in the same league as little Miss mega-knockered perfection from 1985 obviously (what bird is my old mate ! ! !), but the great thing is that I`m able to have nice cosy love and ro-girl-ce fantasies about Valentina (me and her on a desert island together forever, or me and her in a cafe in Paris on a beautiful summers night, or me and her in Central Park in New York being enchanted by the music of Gershwin whilst flying kites...etc...etc...all the traditional ro-girl-tic stuff). And then when the lust in my mind takes over from the love I`m straight over to my Pauline Hickey collection from 1985 for three or four consecutive things, I`m therefore able to cater and pander to those two very powerful and important emotions perfectly whenever they appear in my mind, the best of both worlds, one might say ! ! !. BTW Mike, cheers for fixing the spelling mistakes in that other com-girl-t, I didn`t realise there were 14 of them although I still think "Mentioned" should be spelt "Girl-tioned" ! ! !.
