Although maybe it is just that it's Mary and she's not wearing blue and looking all holy.

I have no idea - sorry

 

Erm - michaelangelo

 

And it wasn't religious?

PS...his first name is Michaelangelo...so you're half right. LOL

 

It is the virgin Mary in the painting.  

It had something to do with the characters (especially the female) not being "holy" enough? Ie depicted too "realistically" or something.

 

Definitely not THE Michelangelo, so I presume Caravagio (sp?)

Caravaggio is correct! And Yes!, the young lady who posed as Mary (the mother of Jesus) was indeed not holy by any means. She was a prostitute!

 

2 points for mother!

 

 

 

Now who can tell me the name of the painting? There are several clues already!

The Death of Mary?

 

Maybe.

Super close!!!!

 

 

The Death of......

The Virgin?

Yes!

 

The Death of the Virgin

 

A point to Ithikins!

 

 

 

Ok peeps...this will be the last one!

 

#10 is up!

For this last one, I'd like the name of the artist and the name of the painting.

Woot! Thanking you kindly for the pointsies :)

 

Not the last one yet!

 

That one I don't have a clue about. My "best" guess would be Salvador Dali ... lol

I might be persuaded to continue this game in the WA after MotG is over. If there is enough interest. *cough*

 

And no dear mommy, not Dali. Though I love Dali!

And yeah didn't think it was really Dali ... lol

Chicken dance!

 

*dances*

 

OK, that last one is Patrick Woodroffe and the art is called Beware the Frumious Bandersnatch. 

 

I thought for sure some of our Alice in Wonderland fans would get that one.
