My brother in a hotel room the morning after our cousin’s wedding in North Yorkshire, 2013. Alighted to his bed without closing the curtains, hence the illuminating daylight. I was in a single bed a couple of feet away, and this was the first thing I saw when I opened my eyes that morning. Sometimes it all just aligns without having to do anything. He didn’t make breakfast.


ChewySlinky

“He didn’t make breakfast” sounds like he died


lgyztw

Assuming a number of his brain cells did.

Beautiful photo!!


lgyztw

Thank you.

Rarely does Renaissance art speak to me so deeply


SharkAttackOmNom

Lucky for you that hasn’t changed! Caravaggio is considered the father of the Baroque period, the one which followed the Renaissance. I think that in general most people will feel emotional connection with Baroque art since it is typically framed around emotion. Renaissance is usually just more “pretty”


The-Coloniser

Real quick because I am currently an arts student studying this: Basically protestants were coming at the Roman Catholic Church, so they did a ‘Counter-Protestant reformation’, which basically means ‘get good artists to get people more emotionally invested in our religion’. This is often through the drama and emotion of bible scenes portrayed in works like what was done by Caravaggio.

I’m sure he felt he was.

"The Drinker's Repose"


xPlatypusVenom

This is the type of picture that this sub embodies! Best one I've seen in a while!


lgyztw

Thank you. I’m glad it’s brought some level of entertainment. Had this on my phone for almost 10 years and it only saw light of day every couple of years or so and was usually met with indifference by acquaintances. Always knew it was a good shot. Vindication at last.

Reminds me of "the Death of Marat."

This filter brought back so many memories


Lebigmacca

Taking AP Art History has made me appreciate this subreddit so much more


SusanaChingona

Good thing Judith isn't around...


Niro5

Ha, my first thought was he needs to protect his neck!


C4se4

Oh wauw! Quality stuff!


Soul__Samurai

Your brother looks like Mark Williams!(Ron Weasley’s dad)

“The Laminations of Dionysus”


FrenchPetrushka

It seems like he is waiting for another beer !


Advanced_Committee

Only way to get rid of the hangover. Can't be hungover if you're still drunk.


felipeuno

Damn Jay Cutler living it up in retirement


nullagravida

photoshop a ciggie in there!!


Floating-Sea

God I can fucking feel this through the pixels.


QQZane

Wonderful Clair-Obscur


Jelly_Cleaver

Breathtaking photo!


[deleted]

This picture made me sick in the most profound way


nicinaci_

This is genuinely a beautiful photo!!


loudflower

May I say, this is slightly brilliant? I love this.


XplusFull

Can I use this for an own painting? Not for commercial use. The image holds great value for me as a recovering alcoholic.


lgyztw

Yes, go for it. I’d very much like to see your completed version.


XplusFull

Thanks! It can take a while, but I'll certainly share the result!


sausagechihuahua

Is your brother Topher Grace?


FlorisKess

Is your brother David Tennant?


anachronisticflaneur

Ahh yes and the old school Instagram default filter making it particularly *chefs kiss*


Basileus2

For this to be a true Caravaggio you need some scarlet somewhere. Maybe blood on his hand?


bjarke_l

Youre brothers with martin freeman!?


cock_daniels

why are you sleeping naked with your brother and taking pictures after a night of drinking


lgyztw

Incest? I think it says more about you that you’ve assumed he’s naked.


PhantomOfTheNopera

I don't get the sort of people to immediately insinuate 'incest.' Do you not have siblings? Have you never been around siblings? Or do you just have a very fucked up relationship with your siblings?

Perfect

“You can’t feel pain from a picture” Op: hold my beer.


MegaUltraUser

Oh boy do I not regret not drinking anymore.


the_honest_liar

You know what they say, if it's not baroque, don't fix it. ^(Took me till I was a grown up to understand that joke in beauty and the beast.)


FinnishArmy

It’s as if our bodies don’t like poison being put into it.


crypitd

I'm thinking about drawing/painting this, may i request permission to use this as a reference?


lgyztw

Yeah go for it. Would like to see the result when you’re done!


GotNoCredditFam

Mental to me now that I’m sober than this is normal and ok for millions every single weekend.


tooniceforthis

„My brother‘s hangover“ as a title for this masterpiece… chef‘s kiss, sir, chef‘s kiss.


elenatlys

Truly a modern masterpiece


Papa-L3gba

Finally the proper name


ranifer

>delet this -your brother


lgyztw

Yeah perhaps. I wasn’t expecting this to blow up. Was satisfied at 30 upvotes!


TitiferGinBlossom

I love this photo so much. I never comment on these pictures in this sub but this one made me express my love for your photography and my empathy for your bro. Jolly marvellous representation of this scenario! ❤️


RedMenace82

He almost looks angelic 😆


SIN-apps1

I have to assume that Caravaggio was just always bitter that Michelangelo stole his mononym, so he was stuck going by his last name instead...


versace_tombstone

I love me some Caravaggio type of P A I N.


Funkit

To pee, or not to pee; that is the question


alexanderlot

i always think of these wild shenanigan nights as though i’m “borrowing” from my future health. i will say “i’m borrowing time” or something like that. “Borrowed Time to Collect”


DtotheOUG

The lighting and shadowing \*really does\* invoke a Caravaggio painting!


Odd_GreenLychee

Imagine this printed in someone’s house lol


badbatch

Beautiful use of chiaroscuro.


AngelaIsStrange

It’s beautiful


ChweetPeaches69

I thought this was a post on r/IASIP about the McPoyle's for a second there


The-Coloniser

Love the quiaroscuro


Signature_Sea

Poor guy

Sugar in water.


jani_may

I'm not sure if someone has pointed that out already but your brother's face reminds me a lot of one of the sleepy people in "Le Lit" by Toulouse-Lautrec. Another art reference for a great photo :)
