AccidentalRenaissance is for photos that look like Renaissance paintings.

This means that they look like Renaissance art in their composition, their coloring, their saturation, the angle of the scene, the types of settings, etc.

πŸ‘‰ Must be a photo. Not a meme, drawing, art, ai-generated or ai-enhanced image, screenshot, low-effort post, meta posts, video, or anything else but a photo.

πŸ‘‰ Must be SFW. No gore, porn, extreme violence, blood, corpses, or similarly disturbing content. Absolutely no pornography, even if it's "tasteful".

πŸ‘‰ Comments must be civil. No slurs of any kind or using words to insult, demean, harass, or abuse other individuals or groups.

πŸ‘‰ The Renaissance part (not the photo itself) must be accidental to the photograph. In other words, no photos of Renaissance fairs, people dressed in medieval/Renaissance clothes, etc.

πŸ‘‰ NO influencer selfies, professional photoshoots with watermarks, any type of OnlyFans-like content. We are not the place to work your side-hustle.

πŸ“Έ If you know who the photographer is, give them credit in the comment section. This is the only type of self-promotion we allow.

πŸ‘©β€πŸ¦― Alt-Text for vision-impaired users in the post body or in the comments is highly encouraged. Just pretend you are describing a photo to someone on the phone.

I made borscht once and it was a comedy as I peeled one and it immediately started schlooping around through my fingers and I was scrambling around trying to get a grip on it.

If that was really dropped accidentally, why is the room completely empty in that direction? I can't imagine a kitchen that has that much free space, especially towards the/a window...

[–] ContriteErudite@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

I think this room is a vestibule of sorts; the railing outside the window is the type that's usually installed on a raised walkway/ramp, which means that window likely a door where deliveries are made. Depending on where this was photo was taken, local regulations might require entryways and vestibules be kept clear.

Considering how many boot prints there are on the floor, this might be a smaller part of a room that just happens to be tiled, or a food processing room on a farm or something, right?

The color contrast almost gives it the same energy as the Better Call Saul poster with the red jacket.

I'd hang this in my kitchen

Clearly the Beastie Boys weren’t handling this container.

Looks more like the beat was spilled. I would expect more splatter for a drop.

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago

Don't know why but this feels like a memorial to a genocide...

They spilled for our sins.

Hallelujah.
