valerie Inshan Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Because Art is so much present in SL, and just for the pleasure of sharing... :)Italian artist Stefano Rino Tagliaferro led a hundred works from the classical art in a short animation film of about ten minutes, entitled Beauty. A vision of breathtaking beauty.http://vimeo.com/83910533 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medhue Simoni Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Pretty cool! I come from a very tradition art background, and worked in just about every medium pretty extensively. It's very neat to see these still paintings come to life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Dres! ETA: And, my apologies to Perrie! No problem Valerie. Really, I am glad to see others enjoying that video as much as I did. I actually flinched the first time I watched it when the blood splatterred in Judith's Beheading. This video was very well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NealCrz Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Being a romantic, I had to look up the opening Poem. Here is an excerpt from Shakespeares Sonet 19 with translation to modern english below. I love this translation. "But, do your worst, old Time. Whatever harm you do my love will remain young forever in my poetry." Sonnet 19: Devouring Time, Blunt Thou The Lion’s Paw Devouring Time, blunt thou the lion’s paws, And make the earth devour her own sweet brood; Pluck the keen teeth from the fierce tiger’s jaws, And burn the long-liv’d phoenix, in her blood; Make glad and sorry seasons as thou fleet’st, And do whate’er thou wilt, swift-footed Time, To the wide world and all her fading sweets; But I forbid thee one most heinous crime: O! carve not with thy hours my love’s fair brow, Nor draw no lines there with thine antique pen; Him in thy course untainted do allow For beauty’s pattern to succeeding men. Yet, do thy worst old Time: despite thy wrong, My love shall in my verse ever live young. Sonnet 19: Translation to modern English Devouring Time, you may make the lion’s claws blunt and return all creatures to the earth from which they sprang; pull the teeth from the fierce tiger’s jaws, and destroy the phoenix in her fire. Do whatever you like, fast-running Time, to any beautiful fading thing in the world; but I forbid you to commit one heinous crime: oh don’t cut into my love’s beautiful brow, nor draw wrinkles there with your insane pen. As you go on your destructive course spare him as a pattern of beauty for posterity. But, do your worst, old Time. Whatever harm you do my love will remain young forever in my poetry.

Maryanne Solo Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Thank you Perrie & Valerie! Simply stunning. Rarely do digital & traditional art meet. I can animate & composite with the best of them, but indeed, that is a whole new level of mastery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
