Generally, scholars agree that the Renaissance lasted from the 14th to the 17th century.

However, its influence is still evident in modern society, and a fun example of this is the appropriately titled subreddit 'Accidental Renaissance.'

This online community shares pictures that unintentionally evoke the aesthetic and thematic elements of the famous past era. Maybe it's true what Oscar Wilde once said, "life imitates art far more than art imitates life."

Continue scrolling to check out the images, and don't miss the conversation we had with art historian Dr. Sally Hickson. You'll find it spread in between the pictures.

    Many describe the Renaissance as a period of European cultural, artistic, political, and economic "rebirth" that took place after the Middle Ages.

    To gain a better understanding of how it came about and the key ideas of the time, we contacted Dr. Sally Hickson, who is an Associate Professor of Renaissance Art History at the University of Guelph, Canada.

    "The Renaissance is usually thought to be about the rediscovery of the individual, but I think it's more about the rediscovery of the 'self' as opposed to the collective sensibility of the Middle Ages," she told Bored Panda.

    "Basically, it's about locating meaning in human experience rather than fixating on the Christian belief in the glories of the afterlife."

    According to Hickson, the Renaissance was guided by the idea that the human experience of the world can lead to spiritual enlightenment; a new appreciation of nature, the senses, the body, the mind, and human potential.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Medieval art, on the other hand, was "more 'abstract' in that people weren't meant to imagine themselves as part of the imagery (most of it religious) — they're supposed to be overwhelmed and lost in all the gold and splendor and blinded by the light. In the Renaissance, people begin to see themselves."

    However, what helps the members of the 'Accidental Renaissance' subreddit determine whether or not a particular picture belongs to their collection?

    "The widespread use of single-point perspective is a key to recognizing early Renaissance works," Hickson explained.

    "You know, tiny figures contained within a perfectly proportional world, usually including architectural settings that help to set the scale."

    Talking about other common characteristics, there's also a focus on nature, but Hickson stressed that it's usually an idealized version of it. "It's all about creating a perfect image of the world," she highlighted.

    "Along with the usual altarpieces and depictions of saints, there's an interest in mythological scenes — the reimagining of the ancient world."

    "Mostly, Renaissance art is about balance and perfection, and the scenes are imagined as complete within the frame. Not bursting out all over, which happens in the Baroque," the professor summarized.

    However, if you're browsing these pictures on your way to an exhibition and then misattribute a painting, don't beat yourself up over it.

    "I have a lot of students who can't tell Renaissance art from later Neo-classical art, but that's not surprising," Hickson said. "It's all about order, balance, perfection. I mean, there are variations in the later Renaissance — a painter like Titian is really different from an artist like Botticelli — so there's a progression within the Renaissance that can kind of freak people out."

    ADVERTISEMENT

    "The Renaissance is not just one thing in terms of visual language. It's about an evolution of visual language centered on the full range of human experience," the art historian added.

    Again, symmetry in art! Sleeping subjects, both with downturned jowls echoing each other, the lighting and the shadows, the immediate sense of the relationship, comfort and trust. Complete with clean lines behind, via the blinds, drawing the eye from the curves of the overstuffed chair to the soft floral display, right down to the deposited glasses.

    When we first published a piece on the subreddit 'Accidental Renaissance' at the end of 2020, it had 748k members, or as they call themselves, 'universalis personae,' which, translated from Latin, means 'universal persons.' Now, the figure stands at 939k. Clearly, the period is still relevant.

    Plus, pop culture hasn't forgotten about it either. Last year, for example, Beyoncé released an album called 'Renaissance,' and the cover art appeared to be a homage to Adam van Noort's Lady Godiva, painted in 1586.

    "Parts of the Renaissance get lots of attention," Hickson said. "[There's] a lot of hype around Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, essentially."

    However, it's up for debate how intentional our interest in the Renaissance is and how much of it is fueled by artistic curiosity.

    Dr. Sally Hickson was in Rome just a few months ago, and she said people are still flocking to the Sistine Chapel. "I'm not sure what they're doing there, though. It's something they know they should see, but for many, it's more of a religious pilgrimage than an artistic one."

    "There are a few works that are wildly popular. If you go to the Uffizi Gallery, everyone's in the Botticelli room."

    "The Renaissance is sort of a global standard for art that everyone agrees to agree about," Hickson observed. "Even if most art since the Renaissance has been a form of rebellion against that standard. And we mustn't forget how Western-centric the Renaissance was/is."

    I am dear, dear friends with a Hasidic family. Mainly because my Rabbi is ultra-orthodox, whereas I was raised moderate (just observing holidays) but if I do go to get-togethers now it's with the Liberal Jewish community. The only reason this man is my Rabbi is because the Rabbi from the liberal-community was always trying to get with me.

    According to the Reddit post it is a gathering for Tu Bshvat which is one of the four New Years. From what I read it sounds very similar to Thanksgiving in that it gives thanks to their crops. The man sitting is the Rabbi and after his reading they eat the seven fruits of Israel.

    I'm a little surprised they are so big. My nesting boxes will only fit one chicken at a time. weirdly though - while the chickens seemed content to sleep in the various boxes, they often laid most of the eggs in a couple. Perhaps because when many of them go to lay an egg they go into whatever box where they already see an egg. Not sure.

    OP "On December 8th, 2018, Japanese Parliament voted on a hotly contested immigration reform bill that allowed foreign workers a path to Japanese citizenship. The plan was put forth by then-Prime Minister Shinzo Abe earlier that year and was opposed by Japan's opposition party, as well as some in Abe's right-wing base. When Yokoyama attempted to move to hold a vote on the controversial bill, he was beset by members of Parliament who apparently wanted to stop him from moving forward with a vote, leading to the image of Yokoyama speaking into his microphone while dozens of politicians attempted to restrain him."
