Accidental Renaissance

AccidentalRenaissance is for photos that look like Renaissance paintings.

This means that they look like Renaissance art in their composition, their coloring, their saturation, the angle of the scene, the types of settings, etc.

πŸ‘‰ Must be a photo. Not a meme, drawing, art, ai-generated or ai-enhanced image, screenshot, low-effort post, meta posts, video, or anything else but a photo.

πŸ‘‰ Must be SFW. No gore, porn, extreme violence, blood, corpses, or similarly disturbing content. Absolutely no pornography, even if it's "tasteful".

πŸ‘‰ Comments must be civil. No slurs of any kind or using words to insult, demean, harass, or abuse other individuals or groups.

πŸ‘‰ The Renaissance part (not the photo itself) must be accidental to the photograph. In other words, no photos of Renaissance fairs, people dressed in medieval/Renaissance clothes, etc.

πŸ‘‰ NO influencer selfies, professional photoshoots with watermarks, any type of OnlyFans-like content. We are not the place to work your side-hustle.

πŸ“Έ If you know who the photographer is, give them credit in the comment section. This is the only type of self-promotion we allow.

πŸ‘©β€πŸ¦― Alt-Text for vision-impaired users in the post body or in the comments is highly encouraged. Just pretend you are describing a photo to someone on the phone.

Hey, I liked your resignation letters.

I could see that a lot of time and love went into the reddit, and it's a site I still miss dearly due to how it shaped me during my formative young adult years. That wouldn't have been possible without the diligent and balanced mod action you guys enacted all those years, so thank you for your service.

Glad to see you here!

Watch the steps, get a drink, have a good time now, welcome to paradise, paradise, paradise...

Edit:

Oh wow. I must be having a brain fart.

I thought I just now read on the Lemmy front page about how the Accidental Renaissance mods have moved to Lemmy, it even had imgur posts of the resignation letters. But when I look at those letters, they are dated to 2 years ago.... and this communitiy has been running just as long...

I think I'm lost in time? Really sorry! Deleted my stupid post

Not sure this 100% fits I just thought there was something about this casual photo that felt it fit. Something about the warmth of the light on the mailbox and the white of the snow and the composition. I guess yall will be the judge.
