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.
π 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.
π Must be SFW. No gore, porn, extreme violence, blood, corpses, or similarly disturbing content. Absolutely no pornography, even if it's "tasteful".
π Comments must be civil. No slurs of any kind or using words to insult, demean, harass, or abuse other individuals or groups.
π 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.
π NO influencer selfies, professional photoshoots with watermarks, any type of OnlyFans-like content. We are not the place to work your side-hustle.
πΈ If you know who the photographer is, give them credit in the comment section. This is the only type of self-promotion we allow.
π©βπ¦― 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.

Then who lives in the towers?
You're probably joking but since my internet sarcasm detector blew up I still feel obliged to tell you, its probably rather about the foreground versus background.
yes twas a /joke :)
thats how my brain subconsciously interpreted the two guys before the background registered consciously
Adding a /s or /j helps indicate if you're being sarcastic or joking with ease.
Intentional.

We're not looking for accidental photos, as in "I yeeted my phone and accidentally captured A Renaissanceβ’", because those mostly don't exist.
We're looking for well-composed photos that, as the photographer was pursuing a nice photo, also accidentally copied the rules of Renaissance painting, which does sometimes overlap (as a happenstance) with the fundamentals of good photography.
We remove a shitload of photos that are objectively gorgeous and technically astute, but don't look like paintings, so trust me, there's a difference.
How is this limited to Russia?
Go out in any major city within the US, multi million dollar condos in a tall building, homeless person begging out front.
Fuck Russia, but this is not a Russia issue... this is everybody's issue. I guess this sort of thing makes it easier for normies to cope.
I don't think the title is limiting the problem to Russia, but rather describing the contents of the photo
It's amazing how people do this online. They invent a whole new meaning and intention for something and then get mad at their invention. I mean I know that's basically straw man, but it's still funny.
