i think my sim just painted lackadaisy fanart.
Haha. A feline upgrade of this famous Van Eyck. (I notice the poor dog has been left out.)

The website Closer to Van Eyck lets you zoom all the way in on Jan & Hubert Van Eyck’s Adoration of the Mystic Lamb altarpiece in Ghent, which is presently being restored (it’s a bit of a work in progress).
Of course, it’s an altarpiece, so the religious iconography is quite literally front and centre. But I rarely look at those bits.
Because there’s a whole world to explore in the details.
these are a few of my favourite bits.
This is the birth of landscape painting right here. In the backgrounds of pious Northern Renaissance pictures of saints.

Information
Jan van Eyck 1434
The Annunciation
The van Eyck brothers are presumed to have created the Ghent Altarpiece, one of the greatest artworks of the period and one that only survived destruction over the years thanks to the efforts of art heroes like the Monuments Men. You could spend hours appreciating it in person, but here's a link still worth the look

Grayson Perry (born 1960) UK
1 The Annunciation of the Virgin Deal (2012) digital jaquard loom woven tapestry in wool, silk, cotton, acrylic and polyester, With cotton warp. 200x400cm search at http://visualarts.britishcouncil.org
A graysonperrytr.com Tim is relaxing with his family in the kitchen of his large, rural (second) home. His business partner (in yellow) has just told him that he is now extremely wealthy man, as they have sold their software business to Richard Branson. On the table is a still life demonstrating the cultural bounty of his affluent lifestyle. To the left, his parents-in-law read, and his elder child plays on the rug. To the right, Tim dandles his baby while his wife tweets. This image includes references to three different paintings of the Annunciation by Carlo Crivelli (the vegetables), Matthias Grünewald (his colleague’s expression) and Robert Campin (the jug of lillies). The convex mirror and discarded shoes are reminders of that great pictorial display of wealth and status, The Arnolfini Portrait (1434) by Jan van Eyck.
Text (in the voice of Tim’s business partner):
‘I have worked with Tim for a decade, a genius, yet so down to earth. Tim’s incredibly driven, he never feels successful. He’s calmer since his mother died. He’s had a lot of therapy. He wants to be good.’
(On the copy of The Guardian used to wrap organic vegetables):
‘A Geek’s Progress, Tim Rakewell: risen without trace.’
(On iPad):
‘Rakewell sells to Virgin for £270m.’
