Carefully signed by the artist with the place and date of execution, this drawing was likely made as an entry in an album amicorum, or friendship album—a collection of drawn and written tributes to an individual patron or associate. The nude woman holding the brushes, palette, mahlstick, and coat of arms of the Guild of Saint Luke is an unmistakable personification of the art of painting. The meaning of the devil breathing fire on her leg is less obvious, but it may allude to the idea that art itself can be a dangerous temptation.

Welcome to Visual Arts!

I have been posting in various art communities across Lemmy recently and I've wanted to have one on an instance that I love. From now on this is where I'll be making most of my posts and would love to see more people join in!

I'll be trying to add more and more links with my posts from now to show rbe source of information and offer you resources on where to find art. May even create a post dedicated to sources later.

Similarly the most common style of posts you'll see will include:

Single image posts with a passage to explain them.
Multi image posts to show themes within an artists oeuvre.
Single image posts without explanatory text if I can't add much of value.

I'll also be cross posting a fair bit to make sure more and more people are exposed to art as that is my primary desire.

Hope you all enjoy.

Sincerely, SnokenKeekaGuard.

Great work so far, thanks for posting! I really appreciate the additional works of art inside each thread you've made.
