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.
๐ 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.
๐ Must be SFW. No gore, porn, extreme violence, blood, corpses, or similarly disturbing content. Absolutely no pornography, even if it's "tasteful".
๐ Comments must be civil. No slurs of any kind or using words to insult, demean, harass, or abuse other individuals or groups.
๐ 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.
๐ NO influencer selfies, professional photoshoots with watermarks, any type of OnlyFans-like content. We are not the place to work your side-hustle.
๐ธ If you know who the photographer is, give them credit in the comment section. This is the only type of self-promotion we allow.
๐ฉโ๐ฆฏ 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.

Image Transcription:
[ A young person (roughly in their 20s or perhaps early 30s) in a black hoodie sweatshirt hunches over a deep-amber-colored wooden desktop, their neck craned and their glasses slipping down their nose as they attempt to assemble the plastic components of a do-it-yourself model kit, which we can see partially assembled in the foreground. An instruction book is laid out in front of them, with complicated diagrams and tiny eyestrain font. Beside it is a soft drink can on a coaster and the extruded plastic frame that the kit pieces shipped in. The kit appears to be some kind of Japanese-style robot with excitingly chunky limbs, but exact details are impossible to identify because the toy is sharply backlit by the midcentury-style adjustable desk lamp that illuminates the scene. Beside the person's hands which are flexed as they put the pieces together, a long-haired brown tabby cat is visible, it's attention focused on one of the small plastic parts,reaching a paw out to steal the transparent cap of a utility knife that is out of the cat's reach. The scene is softly lit and cozy with a certain mischievousness on the part of the cat. ]
