20 Historic Black and White Photos Colorized

One of the Sifter’s personal favourites is r/ColorizedHistory. The major contributors are a mix of professional and amateur colorizers that bring historic photos to life through color. All of them are highly skilled digital artists that use a combination of historical reference material and a natural eye for colour. When we see old photos in black and white, we sometimes forget that life back then was experienced in the same vibrant colours that surround us today. This gallery of talented artists helps us remember that :) Below you will find a collection of some of the highest rated colorized images to date on r/ColorizedHistory. I’ve also provide a list of some of the top contributors (in no particular order): 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Vít Soukup. Jan Hísek.

Jeho život ovlivnila tragická smrt přítele George Dyera, který se otrávil v 70. letech.

Pat Pattison's Lyric Pages

Kid stuff. Songwriters are the ones who really suffer, because whether or not we're happily married, we are eternally condemned to keep searching for the perfect match every time we join a word to a note. Sometimes we find it, sometimes we don't. And even when a match is perfect, we know we'll be back on the streets one syllable/note later, eyes open, determined, hopeful. Perhaps this chapter will offer some succor to the tormented songwriter. Words and notes start with something in common: both belong to dynamic communities of stressed and unstressed members. Look at a bar of 4/4 time. "Bridegroom" would fit the bar perfectly: both syllables are stressed but the first syllable is stronger: A perfect match. Come báck Setting come báck like "bridegroom" would be poor prosody -- the musical stresses and the syllables' stresses would be opposite. Not that a poor match breaks any mythical rules; it just sounds unnatural.

Romanian Antheneum, Bucharest, Romania Mariinsky Theatre, Saint Petersburg, Russia. Eugène Delacroix. In contrast to the Neoclassical perfectionism of his chief rival Ingres, Delacroix took for his inspiration the art of Rubens and painters of the Venetian Renaissance, with an attendant emphasis on colour and movement rather than clarity of outline and carefully modelled form.

Eugène Delacroix

Dramatic and romantic content characterized the central themes of his maturity, and led him not to the classical models of Greek and Roman art, but to travel in North Africa, in search of the exotic.[2] Friend and spiritual heir to Théodore Géricault, Delacroix was also inspired by Lord Byron, with whom he shared a strong identification with the "forces of the sublime", of nature in often violent action.[3] However, Delacroix was given to neither sentimentality nor bombast, and his Romanticism was that of an individualist. In the words of Baudelaire, "Delacroix was passionately in love with passion, but coldly determined to express passion as clearly as possible.
