Is This The Best Way to Recognize the Artists of Famous Paintings? Is This The Best Way to Recognize the Artists of Famous Paintings? March 8, 2014 in Uncategorized If you haven’t studied art history, it can sometimes be a bit confronting walking around a museum or art gallery and trying to get your head around who painted what. So with this in mind, here’s a bit of a tongue-in-cheek guide as to how YOU can easily work out which artist painted what. Enjoy! If everyone in the paintings has enormous asses, then it’s Rubens. If all the men look like cow-eyed curly-haired women, it’s Caravaggio. If everybody has some sort of body malfunction, then it’s Picasso. If it’s something you saw on your acid trip last night, it’s Dali. If the images have a dark background and everyone has tortured expressions on their faces, it’s Titian. If the paintings have tons of little people in them but otherwise seem normal, it’s Bruegel. If everyone – including the women – looks like Putin, then it’s van Eyck. If everyone is beautiful, naked, and stacked, it’s Michelangelo.
