[QUOTE="Finnclouds, post: 9737536, member: 84680"]I’m truly sorry, Chinoiserie — it didn’t even occur to me that you did something to the photo. Let alone to deceive anyone! The entire scene just looked to me like something one of those photo generating AIs would dream up if asked to make a classical mythology scene. I didn’t even know it was a photo taken by you. The scene is apparently supposed to have been dreamt up by a follower of Hans Jacob Bayer. There's lots more about it in the link if you are interested. “Antique 18th-19th century circular bronze plaque-dish in the Renaissance manner "Minerva leads the personification of painting into the circle of Arts and Sciences," after Hans Jakob Bayr (1574 – 1628), Augsburg, Germany. The bronze plaque, beautifully cast in relief, depicts the goddess Minerva (Athena in Greek mythology), introducing the personification of "Painting" into the circle of liberal arts.
