Set 10 Painting #2 St. Michael by Raphael

It is not Jacques-Louis David --- Napoleon Crossing the St. Bernard Pass,

It is not St. Michael by Raphael.

I have a quick question. Let's use the image results for WHISTLER'S MOTHER as an example.

Looking through the results, you will see the painting cropped at all sorts of coordinates. If we're Googling paintings in order to match them up with the grid, is this going to affect us at all if we select a version of the painting you didn't use when creating the graph? Or does that not matter?

Ok, I'll push this forward by saying you won't need to match things up to find the answer. Nor will you need to do math or overlay paintings.

reply to post by kinglizard


That's is MUCH better. Thanks so much. This should be a bit easier then. lol

I'm thinking that all answers from this point forward will need to include the members logic used to make their guess. If their "work" is not shown I will ignore the post.

Because I'm allowing one answer per person per day I don't want this thing to boil down to a random guess based on the number of paintings that haven't been guesses yet.

Luck was the only hope to my stupid.

How can you take that away from me?

Aaarrgggh!!! I think I'll join Ashley at the asylum.

I have looked through every painting over 100 times! I've zoomed in and adjusted brightness and contrast.

I've seen several hidden images in several paintings. There is one artwork that might be it but I'm probably stretching it.

Michael Sweerts - Self Portrait

reply to post by Deaf Alien


It is not Michael Sweerts - Self Portrait.


WOW, what an observation!

reply to post by Deaf Alien


I saw that but didn't get it. What is it exactly? It's just like a folded piece of paper floating by his desk.

I really thought it was the Annunciation because the tiled floor has a 9x9 tile grid just like the graph and the colors match up with the RGB code but that was a flop, too. lol

You guys and gals are really digging deep....very impressive.

reply to post by kinglizard


Well, you did say 'look past the obvious.'

Okay, I'm going to give a clue soon that will REALLY narrow the search.

Hint added to the opening post.

Everyone who has already posted an answer can offer a second guess.
