- Sorry what exactly is so stunning about this? Bennnsplain please?NBQ00
- There is nothing "stunning" about it, this is a just a cool ass painting. Colors and light are "on fleek" as your generation might say.deadsperm
- stunning it is: it's 365 years old and still gets shared and appreciated in a contemporary medium!uan
- I don't see what's stunning about it. Game recognize game. Not seeing it just reveals stupidity.deadsperm
- I don't really buy into the whole mirrors theory. Looking at the loose brush strokes this is not photo perfect.IRNlun6
- Using thin layers of a glazing medium like linseed oil or walnut oil gives the skin a translucent quality. This is a classical painting technique.IRNlun6
- It's the expression that he captured on this sweet woman's face that really makes this painting beautiful to me.IRNlun6
- Painters of that era also used Chiaroscuro which is strong contrast and painting from dark to light.IRNlun6

- For anyone asking why it's good.. it's art, it can be "anything" to anybody, if you feel nothing, then it ain't your bag. and that's cool too.robthelad
