Georges Rochegrosse (1894). The details and play of light in this painting draw me in like no other. Absolutely mesmerizing!!! This musée d’Orsay link has some good close-ups

An incredibly pretentious first share, I know. But when I saw this painting at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam (brag) I had an almost visceral reaction to it. Which is rare for me.

i have a lot of posters on my walls, one of them is this painting. i learned about it in my a european history class i took in high school and have been obsessed since. i like to get lost in it. there are so many tiny details that are so fun to look at and wonder how he came up with it.
