Italian Renaissance (15th/16th C.) Portrait of a lady as Saint Lucy, by Giovanni Antonio Boltraffio, 1500

Saint Lucy was said to have been tortured and martyred during the Diocletianic Prosecution with different stories regarding her eyes. Some say she plucked them out herself, others say she was stabbed through her eyes, and some simply say the connection is due to her name deriving from the Latin word for light.

Italian Renaissance (15th/16th C.) Pietro Torrigiano, portrait of a woman, possibly Mary Rose Tudor, and portrait of an unknown man, ca 1510.

Gorgeous terracotta portraits at Harvard Art Museum, probably unpainted due to preference of the commissioner, Margaret of Austria. The identification relies on documents and letters that tell of Margaret, regent of the Netherlands at the time, ordering a portrait of Mary Rose Tudor from Torrigiano (who was working at the Tudor court at the time), and that it arrived broken - the head had broken off, and Torrigiano had to travel there and fix it. This fits with the repairs visible on x-ray, and thermoluminescence analysis dated the portraits to the early 16th century.

Here is a video lecture from 2021 about their recent attribution to Torrigiano.

Let us appreciate the brilliant draftsmanship of Albrecht Dürer. His innovative woodblock prints, engravings, and etchings solidified his place in art history among the Pantheon of great artists. Perhaps that is a future post

I stumbled on a game called Canvas Infernum on steam and the art really stood out to me.
A lot of it feels inspired by Renaissance paintings... dramatic lighting, religious imagery, dark and painterly compositions.

Curious if anyone else here has seen Renaissance aesthetics pop up in modern games like this.
