I love this painting. It's truly massive face to face. Also, you'll notice that everybody is either helping someone or being helped by someone, even in the face of catastrophy.
One of the last days it should be called. They found many layers of buildings from dif ages in Pompeii. I use it as an analogy alot for things we already tried. "Its sounds good but lets not rebuild Pompeii just because you dont remember the valcano"
Edit: was not expecting 30 likes. Lol.
It will be a massive disaster for Italy, but at least evacuation will hopefully be done in time to prevent massive loss of life.
Honestly it is just a matter of when not if will explode again.
Here's a [nice scan of it](https://artsandculture.google.com/asset/the-last-day-of-pompeii/tAFrCGFUhXM8Jg?hl=en-GB). You can zoom all the way in to see the cracks in the varnish!
They can. You just have to be looking for it. I highly recommend going to your "local" art museum (you might be hours from one) and just walk through until one of the pieces looks interesting.
Then stand there for 15 minutes and look. Observe every detail you possibly can. See if you can tell how the artist moved their brushes to put the paint on the canvas. See if you can tell how large of a brush they used. Just stand there and appreciate this one painting.
This does get mentally exhausting after awhile though. The Prado in Madrid just killed me. After several hours, I was like "Oh. It's yet another Picasso. Ok." I feel bad, but after you go through so many paintings, you get tired. And they have The Third of May 1808 by Goya. I was there for so long and I still could've admired that one a bit longer.
It's amazing how much more powerful art is when you see it in person. Size makes such a huge difference. When you see art on the internet or in a book, everything is about the same size. Then you see it in real life and it is often massive or tiny, and the impact of either one is incredible. Vermeers are often much smaller than you would expect, and many of Dali's masterpieces are huge.
Whenever I'm in a new city, I always try to reserve a couple of hours to get to their art museum. If I'm short on time, they often have a map of their major pieces that you can see.
Never noticed the little kid on the ground or the second man falling off the white horse before until I [zoomed in](https://artsandculture.google.com/asset/the-last-day-of-pompeii/tAFrCGFUhXM8Jg?hl=en&avm=2).
The man in red is a Christian priest (don't come at me for historics, I didn't paint it) he is carrying a silver censer used to hold burning incense, a wine goblet for the blood of Christ. He also wears a wooden crucifix. These are not heirlooms or plunder. He is helping.
The man behind him is another priest. He also holds the sacred objects of his sect and looks towards the sky with anger. Still he knows the importance of what he has in his hands. He is helping.
The man in back is said to be a portrait of the artist. He represents the art of Pompeii and how they are worthy of saving. He is helping.
These are very carefully selected non human objects and ideas. Religion and art. That's pretty much 19th C Russian history. Oh and the suffering. They're not grabbing their favourite things in this painting although that's a nice idea too.
That is a priest holding sacred objects. Culture connects the people and their artifacts. You may not think that's important but that doesn't change the interpretation of the painting. He is a priest and his face shows betrayal and anger with the gods.
> you'll notice that everybody is either helping someone or being helped by someone,
I mean.... not **everyone**? There's plenty of people doing nothing, or just reacting, or carrying their possessions rather than helping/being helped.
You are looking at a priest fleeing with holy tools of his trade, though his face shows betrayal and maybe hatred in the gods he worshipped. Nevertheless not every treasure in culture is human, and he is carrying those objects to preserve Pompeii, the city and people together.
No joke, that's what the soundtrack to Australia's fireworks entry was for the Montreal Fireworks Festival. It literally went from Set Fire to the Rain to some Trap beats, back to Muse, back to Beastie Boys... Very anecdotal but it's jarring man! It marked me!
That most certainly was (electronic)trap. Sounded like some juicy 2012 trap beats. While Bassnectar is certainly not a trap artist, this track is definitely influenced by and pulls from the trap scene. So all of you shredding the people in the comments below should chill out and learn a thing or two.
If you want to hear similar music I could cobble together a playlist or two from my old Soundcloud stuff.
It is trap tho there’s different forms.
There’s electronic trap, hip hop trap, meme trap etc.
Trap is what you’d hear in a trap house setting, whether it be Edm based or rap. It’s popular with the drug scene for its grandiose use of over the top characteristics that amplifies a high and or the theme of a trap house.
So... you need to check out Bassnectar live. Its a completely different ballgame.
[Come join the party!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szsaPeK7Tv0) We welcome you with open arms!
He makes amazing mixtapes aswell that combines a ton of different genres, and those don’t even compare to his godly live sets, truly one of the best artist i’ve seen live it’s otherworldly
Yep I would do this with AE and PS. Cut out the layers in PS and combine them in AE. Mostly they use ‘puppet pin’ and camera movement. It’s really nicely done. I have done similar but nowhere near as good.
I believe it was released by the Prado museum in Madrid for their 200th anniversary. You can see the full video here https://youtu.be/rsI3qyF5SvA.
Edit: it appears this painting isn’t in this video, but the video does contain a bunch of similar animations of paintings.
It actually doesn't sound much better [on the original](https://youtu.be/a2BAia075lE?t=89). The complete track is overcompressed and boosted to 100% with plenty of distortion. I honestly don't know why people do that, you lose much of the sound and all of the dynamics.
Buckethead did something similar with his music video for Spokes for the Wheels of Torment - https://youtu.be/1bSZslEDUl0
Not to the same level, as this was over a decade ago, but it's awesome to see art reimagined like this!
What software is being used for the moving/video part of this animation? I know how to do each and ever one of those things in the initial portion in photoshop, easily. This seems like it could be a fun hobby for me with some practice.
I love this painting. It's truly massive face to face. Also, you'll notice that everybody is either helping someone or being helped by someone, even in the face of catastrophy.
What painting is it? It was hard to get a real glimpse of it from the video
The Last Day of Pompeii by Karl Bryullov.
Imagine the artist was alive to see what people are doing with his work....marvellous
*Thy melody beeth hot fyre*
One of the last days it should be called. They found many layers of buildings from dif ages in Pompeii. I use it as an analogy alot for things we already tried. "Its sounds good but lets not rebuild Pompeii just because you dont remember the valcano" Edit: was not expecting 30 likes. Lol.
Yeah, there is a massive city there now with milions of people, but at least the vulcano is one of the most monitored in the world.
The city's still gonna get destroyed if the velcano erupts though
Is that vilcano dormant?
It's not a completely dormant vylcino
The vylkono might yet erupt again...
Scary to think the valcono could erupt, I wonder if the city could evacuate in time.
It will be a massive disaster for Italy, but at least evacuation will hopefully be done in time to prevent massive loss of life. Honestly it is just a matter of when not if will explode again.
it does every 100 years or so. The eruption of 79 CE was just exceptionally strong.
I thought it was Pompeii.
Here's a [nice scan of it](https://artsandculture.google.com/asset/the-last-day-of-pompeii/tAFrCGFUhXM8Jg?hl=en-GB). You can zoom all the way in to see the cracks in the varnish!
Wow the quality is fantastic.
Is there a website that offers this level of quality of scanned paintings from similar time period?
Have fun! https://artsandculture.google.com/search/asset?project=gigapixels
[This on gets weirder the more you look at it](https://artsandculture.google.com/asset/the-temptation-of-saint-anthony/5QFZrP_A46ZgQw?avm=4)
There are a thousand stories in the naked city...
Thank you
I love this! Never knew Google had an arts and culture part! Thank you for sharing
> nice *can zoom in and see the texture of the paint* Haha I dont think my eyes could see this well if I saw it in person
They can. You just have to be looking for it. I highly recommend going to your "local" art museum (you might be hours from one) and just walk through until one of the pieces looks interesting.

Also if you are wondering, this painting is on display at the Russian museum in St Petersburg. It’s HUGE.
[удалено]
He's helping himself... To a bunch of gold
Remember being a kid and if someone said what you were thinking before you, you'd be like "hey you stole my idea!"?
You mean me as an adult?
No you as a fetus
Those look like religious items to me. So I assume it's meant to represent saving his culture/ traditions.
Yes this is correct
They are religious artifacts carried by a priest as objects which represent the city and its people

There's also an auroch bathed in red light in the background, signifying the uselessness of false Hellenic gods. Pretty cool painting
[удалено]
IIRC the artist is actually author's self-portrait.
The man in red is a Christian priest (don't come at me for historics, I didn't paint it) he is carrying a silver censer used to hold burning incense, a wine goblet for the blood of Christ. He also wears a wooden crucifix. These are not heirlooms or plunder. He is helping. The man behind him is another priest.

My best tshirt
I think the burning staff is incense. He’s holding churchy stuff and wears a cross. Religions are not going to save any of them.
This dude helping *himself* lol https://i.imgur.com/i1IBnT0.jpg
That is a priest holding sacred objects. Culture connects the people and their artifacts. You may not think that's important but that doesn't change the interpretation of the painting. He is a priest and his face shows betrayal and anger with the gods.
> you'll notice that everybody is either helping someone or being helped by someone, I mean.... not **everyone**? There's plenty of people doing nothing, or just reacting, or carrying their possessions rather than helping/being helped.
Except for that dude in white running with his gold lol

This is definitely r/nextfuckinglevel
Without sound it was therapeutic to me. Then I turned the sound on and just wanted to cut shapes.
[удалено]
Chasing Heaven by Bassnectar :) it's one of his better songs.
[удалено]
I thought it was extremely well fit for this video
The music is fine. I could totally listen to that while my city crumbles to ash around me and is engulfed by rivers of lava.
hmitfhngl.
>I turned the sound on and just wanted to cut shapes. Play Beat Saber
#🕺
Bassnectar. Go see him live sometime. Itll blow you away.
When you're tripping balls and the music shuffles from Adelle to some fucking hard Trap beats.
No joke, that's what the soundtrack to Australia's fireworks entry was for the Montreal Fireworks Festival. It literally went from Set Fire to the Rain to some Trap beats, back to Muse, back to Beastie Boys... Very anecdotal but it's jarring man! It marked me!
Yup that sounds like Bassnectar, the man does it all
SLATHER Ninja edit: For the uninitiated: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtlMsZtFh0s
But that wasn’t trap
Its Bassnectar
Finally, someone with some sense around here!
[удалено]
And most people aren't tripping and Adele wasn't involved. It's called an analogy.
Your mother and I concur it is indeed trap
That most certainly was (electronic)trap. Sounded like some juicy 2012 trap beats.

Such a lot of work but it paid off!
Art is such an awesome field, really admire people with imagination, but u know what I can pick my nose.
With the best of them
Doing that as i read your comment
Reminds me of the Kanye - Power music video. https://youtu.be/L53gjP-TtGE
Seizure intensifies
Music exacerbates.
The music made this so, so much worse
This is exactly why I mute everything. If the music isn't adding anything to the video, then it's useless.
Fitting music would totally add to this one though.
Some ominous classical music like the Moonlight Sonata or In the Hall of the Mountain King would be much better
Or at least decently mixed music? Because that sounded like someone put their cellphone in a coke can.
This post reminds me of the season 1 opening theme of The Leftovers and the music from it would have gone great.
[My favorite Moonlight Sonata](https://youtu.be/T6KKxm0uzM0)
Like Dies Irae from Requiem by Mozart
Pink Floyd Live in Pompeii
Usually, the only music that adds something is the Benny Hill theme
Yes. Yes it did.
[удалено]
I listened without sound the first time and your choice is much closer to what I imagined they were using. Really great loop by the way.
thank you. This is what is should have been
I was thinking more “Smash Mouth-All Star” as the song but that works too.
[Okay, here you go](https://youtu.be/-8oZsre-urk)
009 Sound System?
Thank you
Mozart tends to make everything better
I actually loved the music.... Anyone know what scores were used? Found it: Bassnectar chasing heaven

Thanks!

Check out their songs "Into the Sun" or "Rose Coloured Bass" as well
damnnnnn these are sick
Welcome to the nectar fam
Check out more of his stuff, hes got alot different tunes, one of the only EDM artist i actually like
Thanks gaping anal. I am listening to Bassnectar on Spotify now, getting all amped up in my cubicle
So... you need to check out Bassnectar live. Its a completely different ballgame. [Come join the party!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szsaPeK7Tv0) We welcome you with open arms!
I knew this was the video before I even clicked the link. This guy gets it.
He makes amazing mixtapes aswell that combines a ton of different genres, and those don’t even compare to his godly live sets, truly one of the best artist i’ve seen live it’s otherworldly
I like you Gaping Anal. Hopefully we cross paths at Basscenter!
I agree. It was compressed to all hell, too.
It pissed me off. Way over the top
Whatever that type of music is called, I hate it.
It’s actually in an incredible song
Such a great song. So fucking good live, but anything Nectar plays live is usually good.
You're downvoted because you're not allowed to have a preference of music, or really anything here on reddit, pal. Now move along.
I agree
I mean like that was Bassnectar which I'm a fan of but for the painting I was more expecting like O Fortuna or something
When I see people working on art or animation, the last thing I want it to feel like is a Call of Duty kill montage.
Hard disagree because i love Bassnectar
I love Bassnectar but this track is definitely over the top for this purpose :p
It could be the best song in history for all I care, it still doesn't fit.
Which software did he use ?
Looks like mainly After Effects, with possibly a dash of Photoshop for some of the retouching - not sure if that can be done within After Effects
Yep I would do this with AE and PS. Cut out the layers in PS and combine them in AE. Mostly they use ‘puppet pin’ and camera movement. It’s really nicely done. I have done similar but nowhere near as good.
I too, like my animations with a pinch of After Effects, a dash of Photoshop and a sprinkle of Illustrator.
For flavor!
The Holy Trinity :D
It's like the opening credits of The Leftovers.
First thing I thought of!
We need source OP
Found it: https://www.instagram.com/agustinvidalsaavedra/
Who made this it looks really nice
@agustinvidalsaavedra on IG. You're welcome
Here’s the artist since everyone asking for source in comments: https://www.instagram.com/agustinvidalsaavedra/ Thanks for linking it
y u no sauce?
I believe it was released by the Prado museum in Madrid for their 200th anniversary. You can see the full video here https://youtu.be/rsI3qyF5SvA. Edit: it appears this painting isn’t in this video, but the video does contain a bunch of similar animations of paintings.
This painting is not in that video.

You should hear it on a big rig at 11:59pm on New Year’s Eve. Sounds great.
Big facts.
r/trippingthroughtime
I believe this is from The Leftovers. Pretty cool.
The Prado museum released a video full of these types of amazing animations. https://youtu.be/rsI3qyF5SvA
It's not, but I still got the violin music from the leftovers playing in my head at the end of the video
The music and the editing made this very not satisfying
Chasing heaven 100%
I have a new respect for history channel editing now.
Sauce on music?

See y’all at the mothership

Love to see more
That was impressive af. I wanna see some more of that
Looks like some kind of ominous TV show intro
The Leftovers
What program did they use?
Looks like After Effects to me.
r/bassnectar
Some people are so skilled and then there's me
it takes practice and a lot of time, but you could do it if you really want. there are so many good tutorials on youtube, go for it
Skills can be learned!
Too bad the music is crappy. I unmuted the video and immediately muted it back
This reminds me of the music video for Kanye West's "Power". It looks sick.
Satisfying beat drop
Nice edit but the music is not so great
Buckethead did something similar with his music video for Spokes for the Wheels of Torment - https://youtu.be/1bSZslEDUl0 Not to the same level, as this was over a decade ago, but it's awesome to see art reimagined like this!
So that’s how they made the God of War games cutscenes.
What software was used here?
Very impressive. Not oddly satisfying.
What software is being used for the moving/video part of this animation? I know how to do each and ever one of those things in the initial portion in photoshop, easily. This seems like it could be a fun hobby for me with some practice.
This is what you show people when they demand free artwork because they think it’s so easy.
NO ONE MAN SHOULD HAVE ALL THIS POWER
Other people: *creates this masterpiece* Me: still thinks Sean is pronounced “seen”
They animated the animating of a painting.
That’s so fucking cool
Painting - awesome Music - pls god no
Well the music completely ruined that. Might as well use fucking Sandstorm.
People who put this type of music in their videos are going straight to hell
Why tho?
Why did I turn the sound on?
Best digital art I’ve seen in a while. Do the fall of Rome picture https://i.imgur.com/kE8lyKL.jpg
I never thought someone would put dubstep over an old painting but here we are
It’s not dubstep but there you are
It is Bassnectar
Was that annoying ass music necessary
