And the painter. I'll start it off with something relatively easy:

No idea. Judging from the clothes and lighting, maybe a Rembrandt?
 
Carravaggio?
(where's Rae? She'd know this instantly!)
 
sneaky chap hosting it on imageshack
 
yep, that's not making it any easier ;)
 
Carravaggio was my first guess as well, though I wouldn't know which painting.
 
Yes, it's a Caravaggio - the Calling of St Matthew. I have to admit I thought it was Dutch first and thought it was called "A conversion" or something. I got the name nearly right but the nationality completely wrong.
 
^I didn't know which one but I did remember the guy liked to paint himself into his paintings (he said he couldnt afford to pay models) and the guy in the front looks like him, so that's what I guessed. That, and it's got all dat funkeh shadowy shit of his goin' on! :D
no clue about the title tho. headvoid, how did you ascertain what it was?
 
I'm a wikipedia felcher
 
wikipedia can identify pix?

HOW?

TELL ME OBI WON!!
 
have you not searched Wikieyescansuperduperpicturesearchpedia yet? it's the bizzness.



(look up caravaggio, half way down the page - I wish it was more complex)
 
for Art's sake.
 
(I still owe him money, dont let on you saw me here tonight!).
 
They're all naked from the waist down.
 
shhhhh! maybe they forgot to put their pants on?
 
It is indeed a Caravaggio. The Calling of St. Matthew.

and the guy in the front looks like him, so that's what I guessed.

It's Mario Minniti.

Curiousa2z got it so it's your turn to post.
 
post something C2 - I want to see if I can guess :D
 
OMG! I was just going to email you to make sure you and yours were OK! More rain on the way for England? :(

OK, I'll be back - will have to think about this, for English Rose has joined - the game's afoot!
 
yep more rain, a whole week of more rain - we're ok down south, but my mum who's in the middle is stuck in her home - send summer over C2 please :)
