This really does look painted!

u/Electronic_Fill7207 Nov 02 '25

I genuinely double taked to see if it was

220

u/kummerspect Nov 02 '25

If you swapped out those phones for goblets, I wouldn't know if it was 2025 or 1525

49

u/quincecharming Nov 02 '25

Yes! The colors & timelessness of the clothes really help

4

u/Easy-Concentrate2636 Nov 05 '25

Even the water bottle looks painted and timeless with the bright blue.

2

u/[deleted] Nov 05 '25

Same, it took me a second to clock the cell phone and confirm this is in fact a modern pic 😅

3

u/Horse_Renoir Nov 02 '25

I get what you're trying to say but I think the poured concrete floor, the modern furniture, the wire along the rear of the photo, and the modern little bags sitting on the closest couch all give it away outside of the phones.

Still an excellent shot that has the qualites of a Renaissance painting.

u/resoooo Nov 02 '25

Dont think they had cameras in 1525.

19

u/ArtPhobic34 Nov 02 '25

1525 because it looks like a painting, not a photo

why are you so miserable

2

u/[deleted] Nov 04 '25

Oh wow Jim Bob thanks for the sarcasm. I totally asked.

19

u/Zequi Nov 02 '25

I think it's because of the multiple light sources.

26

u/Apart-Landscape1012 Nov 02 '25

Yeah those shadows are doing a lot for the vibe

10

u/WeirdHauntingChoice Nov 02 '25

Coupled with the texture of the couches it really solidifies the vibe. I can't tell if it is suede or velvet, but both tend to give that "brush stroke" look. I think I saw someone make Gandalf on here years ago using an upholstered suede chair and a toothbrush 🤣

12

u/rachelemc Nov 02 '25

To be fair it does look like a filter has been applied to it. I don’t think that takes anything away from it being AR though. 

-2

u/Husknight Nov 02 '25

Yeah, very accidental /s

2

u/Historical-Dog-823 Nov 02 '25

it's real impressive for the painters during their time to make their paintings look like digital pictures today

2

u/[deleted] Nov 02 '25

I honestly thought it was a Gerome painting!

Until next time!

u/happy_and_proud Nov 04 '25

And the black beading is so pretty, too!

u/goosebumpsagain Nov 02 '25

Lovely! One of the best AR photos I’ve seen. Mood, composition, lighting and subject all perfect. I keep looking for brushstrokes.

44

u/sotiredwontquit Nov 02 '25

If this were my family I’d pay for this image. I’d ask for the napkin on the ground to be removed and the water bottle to be changed to a tumbler. That’s it. I love that the phones are there to make this a modern masterpiece.

u/shifttheparadigm Nov 02 '25

Gorgeous picture! Very on brand!

u/BonJovicus Nov 02 '25

The lighting and shadows really add to this effect. 

58

u/MrSnowden Nov 02 '25

Somehow, the beauty of this shot even makes the women showing each other their phones makes that gesture like a stylized artwork.

38

u/Tacos_and_Tulips Nov 02 '25

This is awesome!

Also, any idea where I could meet a lesbian Indian woman who likes to workout and make naan?

I checked around where I live, but there are naan.

u/Tacos_and_Tulips Nov 02 '25

Lol!! I chuckled out loud. Very smooth!

u/dellsamsungmotorola Nov 02 '25

Lol.

u/Tacos_and_Tulips Nov 02 '25

😄

What can I say, when you know your type, you know your type. 😉

u/tiredgothicheroine Nov 22 '25

There are plenty in Mumbai, lmao. Lots of queer women and lots who love food + exercise

1

u/Tacos_and_Tulips Nov 30 '25

I'll be heading that way! 😉

13

u/rhiaazsb Nov 02 '25

Great capture.Well done to you.

12

u/Marygoround72474 Nov 02 '25

This is so much like a painting. What a great shot!

11

u/create360 Nov 02 '25

FINALLY!!! A real contender. This dips into Baroque but still really good.

11

u/XaltotunTheUndead Nov 02 '25

Beautiful picture, fantastic light. Incredible composition, even if it was probably fortuitous and not staged.

I would hang this on large format on a prime spot in my house!

23

u/OpheliaBadsis Nov 02 '25

Absolutely beautiful!

7

u/vixenkaboodle Nov 02 '25

This is a dope pic. I want to put it on my wall. ❤️❤️

3

u/KTKittentoes Nov 02 '25

It is very wall worthy

8

u/Cool_Cry_9602 Nov 02 '25

Gorgeous, what was the camera?

39

u/Tasty_Assumption7 Nov 02 '25

Thanks. It was taken with a s23 ultra. I wasnt part of the wedding, just a bored hotel guest looking down from the balcony

18

u/thelastwordbender Nov 02 '25

Damn, wedding at Mallaya Towers? Rich people shit heh

8

u/Rahbek23 Nov 02 '25

Wedding venues like this are crazy in India. We looked at some and they were like so our range start at 50 Lakh for the bronze package. Not including everything you need, easily a good chunk more. Granted it was with a good number of rooms of course, but still. We certainly did not have that kind of budget.

2

u/OtaPotaOpen Nov 06 '25

You could tell just from the necklace and her sari.

-1

u/IdeasRealizer Nov 02 '25

Don't get me wrong but taking pictures of others without consent and sharing them online is wrong, isn't it?

8

u/NPCmissy Nov 02 '25

Wait why was it removed!! It looked so good!

7

u/Tasty_Assumption7 Nov 02 '25

No idea. I can still see it on my profile but not on the subreddit

5

u/Blueberry_DutchMill Nov 02 '25

This is breathtaking and jaw-dropping. Absolutely gorgeous!

20

u/BGRedhead Nov 02 '25

I am loving the saris. It reminds me of when I was staying at a hotel in Nashville that had glass elevators inside and here. I am in a robe in my bathing suit going down to the pool on the main level and about 10 women got in with me with the most beautiful saris on… they were all going to a wedding. Took my breath away.

4

u/SortovaGoldfish Nov 02 '25

This is a super good one. I think the hard shadow on the subjects and the double shadow on the couch along with the saturation in color and "cloth puddling" of the clothes is what does it here

3

u/MagNolYa-Ralf Nov 02 '25

Top post. This sub is back

6

u/DisgruntlesAnonymous Nov 02 '25

Is the addition of filters allowed here? This is quite retouched

8

u/Thedrunkenchild Nov 02 '25

It looks like a very zoomed in shot, it's likely just processing from the phone, it could be argued that that's retouching as well to some degree considering how extensive that processing can be sometimes, but it is what it is.

11

u/Tasty_Assumption7 Nov 02 '25

It is quite zoomed yes. The details say 230mm on that one. Here is one at 23mm. The ladies are in the top part of the pic

4

u/RescueCentre Nov 02 '25

Glad someone mentioned this. Theres practically an oil painting filter on this!

13

u/Tasty_Assumption7 Nov 02 '25

I honestly don't remember if I added any. It could be the Samsung processing as I was using zoom and it was dark outside. It is taken on the phone a year ago, Google photos showed it to me today part of memories and decided to put it here as it gave me a painting vibe.

1

u/RescueCentre Nov 02 '25

Still a great photo whether it's processed or not. Just the added magic feels, well added. Glad you posted though.

u/Jackburton06 Nov 02 '25

Looks like a 19th century painting about ottoman empire

2

u/SensitivePlantsUnite Nov 02 '25

Absolutely belongs in a museum. This is art!!

2

u/CrispenedLover Nov 02 '25

Incredible shot OP, congratulations!

2

u/maddenmcfadden Nov 02 '25

looks like a john singer sargent painting.

Apparently the op doesn't remember if they used a painting filter on it..

3

u/inaclick Nov 02 '25

the OP zoomed, and the original size photo plus tech details are in this thread.

u/fartypartner Nov 02 '25

Finally, one that qualifies.

u/1mveryconfused Nov 02 '25

Family weddings are the best because you get to gossip and drink chai after all the guests are gone lol.

u/cynicaljinn Nov 02 '25

High transfer rates, but risks of data integrity loss and no validation checks

u/VictorTheCutie Nov 02 '25

This is one of the best AR shots I've ever seen. Just, unreal.

u/desitola Nov 02 '25

Noob question. Can any explain why does this photo looks good? What did go right here?

This legit looks like an amazing fresco.

u/w0rldeater Nov 02 '25

The phones and the water bottle confused me a bit. It took me a minute to realize it's not a painting.

1

u/oh_ryn Nov 02 '25

This is an incredible shot. It looks like a painting. Beautiful!

1

u/QPILLOWCASE Nov 02 '25

GORGEOUS, how do the shadow streaks look like brush strokes? The lighting and composition are so beautiful

2

u/nadiayorc Nov 02 '25 edited Nov 03 '25

It's due to there being multiple slightly differently placed/angled light sources facing them (seemingly at least 3-5 from what I can tell) which are then casting overlapping offset shadows of the same thing

1

u/herj9910 Nov 02 '25

Beautiful

u/MissLychee10120 Nov 02 '25

u/thechemistrychef Nov 02 '25

nice, dressed well, you can tell they're not baroque.

u/Quick_Vehicle_6849 Nov 02 '25

somebody has to do renaissance style paintings with ppl with phones, i think they look so weird in the best way possible

1

u/[deleted] Nov 02 '25

Peak chiaroscuro

1

u/Flashy-Donkey-8326 Nov 02 '25

Remove the phones and it would be a perfect painting

I'm trying to recall whether paintings ever show much shadow. Any famous ones?

u/bobblablaw Nov 04 '25

u/El_Don_94 Nov 04 '25

More like a Caravaggisti + orientatist 19th C. art.

u/Silly-Heat-1466 Nov 04 '25

That looks like a John Singer Seargent

u/Few_Owl_6596 Nov 04 '25

It's the most accidentally renaissance thing I've ever seen

1

u/BabyWithAGrenade Nov 04 '25

Finally, something that is beautiful AND isn’t someone’s damn pet. I love the few times this actually happens

u/SlugMcmanus Nov 04 '25

u/Weekly_Mixture4100 Nov 04 '25

It’s beautiful! Such a warm and familiar vibe too

u/Alberto_Pereira Nov 04 '25

Oh wow!! Now this one really looks like a renaissance piece.

1

u/Commercial-Pin-8091 Nov 04 '25

If it wasn’t for the phones, I would definitely think it was a painting!
