MotG: Guess the Artist Game!

[Rhea]

I think this one is pretty self explanatory!

 

I will post a work of art by a famous artist and you will try to guess who it is.

 

Please let someone else guess before guessing again,

 

Art may be paintings, sculpture, or other!

 

You will earn a point for each correct answer.

 

The person with the most points wins a prize!

Rembrandt

[keyholder21]

Good guess!

 

Man, I suddenly wish that I had taken Art my senior year in college rather than my freshman year!

 

 

Uhhhhhhhhhhh Degas?

[Rhea]

Degas it it! Good one Key!

 

Nice guess Charis!

[Rhea]

#2 is up!

[keyholder21]

Oh wow!  I didn't expect to get it , it was a total guess.  It'll probably be the only one I get right!

 

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...this is so wrong, I'm sure.  Van Gogh?

[Rhea]

Not Van Gough, but good guess!

[Kathleen]

Monet?

[Rhea]

Yes Kat...it is!

 

#3 will be up momentarily!

[keyholder21]

Nice Kat!

[Rhea]

No one? 

 

I can give you a hint if no one gets tonight.

[keyholder21]

Dali?

[ReleaseTheEvil]

Hard... Umm... Will just randomly guess...

 

De Goya?

[Rhea]

You guys are really close

 

The last name does start with a D. He was born in the 15th century. 

[ReleaseTheEvil]

Oh god. Da Vinci? I doubt it but may as well try... 

[Rhea]

Ooo...no. Closer!

[Mashiara Sedai]

Was it one of the other Ninja Turtles? Donatello?

[Rhea]

hahah! nope!

 

 

Here's another hint: he was a German painter, engraver, printmaker, mathematician, and theorist.

[Charis alAslan]

Donatello? (I'm going to start naming all the Ninja Turtles if no one else guesses...) 

[Rhea]

No...sorry. No Ninga Turtles in this game.

 

 

Hint #3:  he has been conventionally regarded as the greatest artist of the Northern Renaissance ever!

[ReleaseTheEvil]

 

Albrecht Dürer

 

[Kathleen]

I googled it so I feel like a cheat saying it now. Watching for a winner.

[Rhea]

Albrecht Dürer

 

Correct!

 

I googled it so I feel like a cheat saying it now. Watching for a winner.
