Leighton is one of my favorite painters for two reasons. The first and most important reason are the dresses. He puts a lot of painstaking detail into the dresses of all his characters. Just look at the beautiful dress of this maiden! The second reason is the subject matter. His medieval paintings are always interesting they are not your typical medieval time paintings. They focus more on the mundane aspects of the time.

Skye Nott: Was studying this fresco by Raphael and the parallels to a good street shot are astounding. The balance of immediate and compelling movement, the solidity of triangular composition, the eye lines and eye paths, forms and colours highlighting relative importance, dramas within dramas, it's all there. The corollary of course is that when a street photo is really right, it's approaching the masters of the Renaissance, which is a nice plaudit. This art history thing is really opening my eyes - probably obvious to anyone with formal training but I'm sure a lot of us haven't or went to school for non-artistic pursuits. Read some books, take a course, or if you're unemployed/broke....
