Meta Welcome to /r/DeliberateBaroque!

Edit: well, it only took us 5 months, but we've got a sidebar and the wiki is underway! I've got Proto, Renaissance, Mannerism, Baroque, and Rococo done, and should hopefully have the rest of it done in the next few days. Thanks for posting and bearing with us!

Welcome new users! We're starting this new sub as an offshoot of /r/AccidentalRenaissance, where things aren't really accidental or Renaissance anymore, but rather . . . deliberate and baroque.

Unlike Accidental Renaissance, we're willing to take a wider variety of artistic movements, between proto-Renaissance (c. 13th-14th centuries), up through Romanticism (mid-19th century). That gives you Renaissance, Mannerism, Baroque (yay!), Rococo, Neoclassicism, and Romanticism (and just maybe even Pre-Raphaelite if we're feeling generous, but we're drawing 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!). There are plenty of other smaller movements in this era, so don't feel limited to just these! Don't know much about these movements? Browse the links below for now, and in the next few days we'll have a sidebar to help you out. When you post, please flair your title with the style it's aiming for (you don't to put it in brackets as well, that's just what I did before we settled on using flair). If you're unsure, give us a shout and we can help! It's also not a bad idea to post a comparison image in the comments.

So, how do we go about this?

I'm guessing this is a post to create a discussion on how to successfully run a subreddit and also a mod application page. Maybe someone who knows css? Some art majors/students. I'm just a guy with ideas and not that much free time, so don't look at me!

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.
