Masterpieces closeup




I often see on the Forum a request for an artist to show a closeup view after posting the full view of the painting. It seems we all want to see those brushstrokes up close.

Based on that, I thought this was an interesting book

Gustav Klimt

Some details from Klimt. This painting was stolen in Parma(Italy)
few years ago.
Can you see the yellows crome and the cobalt blu on the forehead of the girl? Do you think is it possible to obtain it from photographs?
By to everybody!Up with Klimt.
