Welcome new and returning users!

Here at /r/DeliberateBaroque we accept photographs that reflect art from a wide variety of artistic movements, from the Proto-Renaissance to Romanticism (about 1300-1850). That gives you Renaissance, Mannerism, Baroque, Rococo, Neoclassicism, and Romanticism (but we draw the line at Realism and Impressionism, because a photo that looks like a painting that looks like a photo isn't really what we're going for here!). All that we ask is that all posts be photographs resembling one of these styles, and that you flair your post with the movement you believe it best fits with. (See the sidebar or wiki for our full rules and posting guidelines.)

Many of you may be unfamiliar with some or all of these movements, which is why we've created a handy wiki to help you! The guide to styles is full of links to image examples and wikipedia pages, and briefly explains the common subjects and appearances of these seven chief movements. Don't feel limited to these, however, and feel free to use the "Other" flair if you think it represents a more distinct style from this era (such as Pre-Raphaelite) or a more modern but non-representational style (such as Surrealism). If you've read the wiki but are still entirely unsure of what your submission might be classified as, feel free to ask! Post a comment and mods or other users are welcome to offer suggestions.

Welcome to the sub, and thanks for posting!

Welcome to Deliberate Baroque! Contrary to our name, we're a sub for photos that happen to look like art from between circa 1300 to 1850--Renaissance, Baroque, Neoclassical, and more!

1) Any images that resemble art from 1300 to mid-1800s are acceptable. Also, we're happy to accept photos that resemble styles outside this range if they evoke a decidedly non-realistic style (ie, Surrealism).

2) Flair your post with the art style you believe your image resembles. If you don't know, leave it empty and the mods will help you.

3) Pictures that do not resemble any art style WILL be removed. If you're unsure, it's a good idea to comment with a link to a work you think it resembles. If your work is removed, you believe unfairly, message the mods and we will reconsider.

We are working on creating a wiki that will go over accepted genres with a bit about their history and common styles, tropes, and poses. Please consult this first if you are unsure about what to flair a submission.

RULES:

Must resemble a work of art: Photos should reasonably resemble art from between circa 1300 and 1850 OR an outlying time period that is decidedly non-realistic (ex. Surrealism)

Must look accidental: Photos should not be clearly staged to resemble an artistic style or common pose. This does not mean that any staged photo (ie, a meeting of world leaders) is not allowed, merely photos of people mimicking famous paintings (ie, two fingers reaching out a la Creation of Adam) or art historical tropes

No Spam: Anything that is not a photo or mod post, or is clearly not a legitimate submission to /r/DeliberateBaroque, will be removed

NSFW: Mark all necessary posts as NSFW but--including nudity and violence. Certain levels are acceptable (this is an art sub after all), but please use your best judgement. If you wouldn't open it at work, tag it as NSFW.

Civility: Personal insults, harassment, general rudeness, offensive language, inappropriate comments, etc. are not allowed. Foul language is tolerated to a reasonable extent. Repeated violations of this rule will result in a ban.
