    Clues so far are its Renaissance painting with a subject matter and theme similar to Joel Peter Witkin ( the cover image) and famous for its use of foreshortening.

    Since " Name that art" appeared here in June 2014, its had 255 posts and .. this is the good part 19,774 looks.... nearly 20K....

    All that's needed is... ONE brave onlooker to step forward and post any, the original wording on page one was "Nearly" any artwork

    Bearing in mind that people of all ages browae... a modicum of sinsibility is needed.

    A remote, a popular, your favourite, ...... remember, Artwork,,,,, not just paintings...

    Ready, steady, Go.......... Please.

    Don't have Photoshop... try GIMP 2.8 it's a freebie, and..does virtually everything the more expensive programs do.. and Easily.

    How to play "Name that Art!" - others please add to this/ edit it

    Basically the purpose is to name the Artwork which has been posted in a disguised format.

    If you guess correctly then it is your turn to post....

    1) Find an Artwork
    2) Disguise the Artwork using whatever means you find handy ( Microsoft paint, Sumo Paint, Gimp, photoshop). Remember at first you only want to reveal a little bit of the Artwork. Others may use reverse search engines to find the original artwork, such as Tineye or Google reverse search.

    3) Upload your image to Boards.ie; There are many ways - this is how I do it ...


    a) Go to Wthax.org
    b) choose the image file and press the "do it" button
    c) copy the code which is produced - BBC Code ( full)
    d) paste the code into a post on Boards.ie


    4) If after a few days the Artwork hasn't been correctly guessed - reveal a little bit more of the Artwork ,,, and so on until the artwork is guessed.

    5) Verbal clues may be used along the way to help the people guess correctly

    Hi New Home. Its great to have someone new playing the game, but you will need first to guess correctly the name of the artwork posted yesterday by Suas11 - ( see above - post number 259).

    So the idea is you guess the name of the artwork (and the Artists name) which is being hidden by the image of Paris. When you correctly guess then its your turn! :) Looking forward to having you around here.

    Ps - it doesn't matter about wthax - whatever works for you.

    I like this thread, even if at first you don't know a piece of art, you look it up so you end up learning something new. :)
