Thanks, Eul.

The rescuers are meeting a lot of resistance!
A very exciting scene, hammers.

I am glad to hear your favourable comments. Incidentally the source of my inspiration was a 17th century's French Artist's painting
and this is also intended as a tribute to him. Thanks to all. Bye

Je suis content de reçevoir Vos commentaires favorables. Incidemment la source de mon inspiration était un tableau d'un Artiste français
du 17ème Siecle et ,dans l'intention, cela ést un hommage à lui meme. Merci a tout le monde. Aurevoir

Welcome to the Nicolas Poussin Manipulation Society, hammers.



And for a fascinating account of the other 'lost' version of Poussin's 'Sack of the Temple of Jerusalem', see this -

Hello Bobinder! I read your account without stopping and you are right : it is fascinating (Alicia is fascinating too when inserted 'nature' into a rural setting : thank you!!). I am now spending some time to refresh my memory of Poussin's works for the purpose of finding out one
inspiring subject for a new manipulation. In the meantime I will look forward with interest to hear from you on any argument you wish to treat.
Bye.

Here are a few manipulations: one image is without the other two are with background,but results on my advise are rather poor. Bye and thanks to all.

You could have indicated that your mani^pulation is based on one on mine ....

Mr Crucificateur :
If you refer to my today's manipulation unfortunately I couldn't give any indication because I never had the pleasure to see the manipulation you mentioned: would you please post an attachment of it ? Thanks

Another dramatic manipulation, based on a Poussin painting.
This background started as 'The Plague at Ashdod' by Nicolas Poussin.

The original scene depicts the horrors of plague victims dying in the streets, but you have modified it to represent the public reaction to a mass crucifixion. This is reflected in your title, 'People's Compassion for Agonising Martyrs'.

Also, I note that you have taken care to delete a number of Poussin's characters in order to comply with our site rules.
Well done, hammers!

[hammers]

Thanks to all of you for your appreciation. I am particularly gratefull to Bobinder for his information on Poussin's work that inspired
this manipulation as well as for his detailed individuation of the expedients adopted: thanks again Bobinder!

Here's the original:

I agree with Bob, you've done a very good job of altering the painting to create a new narrative.

 

[hammers]

Thank you Naraku!

I've been away from this thread for too long!

There are some stunning manips from you, Hammers, and Bob's Masterclasses are always valuable

 

[hammers]

Thanks a lot Wragg for your encouraging evaluation. At this stage I am aware being only a beginner and of course advice
of Masters such as You, Bobinder and other Artists is extremely welcome and even solicited. Bye from:

Your "Bye" sounds for me always how a last farewell. Always a litgtle scare. Maybe is SYL (See you later) better. ;-)

Nice composition, Hammers.
The figures are blending nicely into the background, and I can see an intriguing, empty cross on the far side of the river.
Btw, the shadow on the grass in the foreground tells us that the sunlight is coming from above and behind the viewer.
Looking forward to more of your pictures.

 

[hammers]

Tks Bobinder! On my viewpoint, care of little details is important : I thought that adding a cross on the far side of the lake would sort a more dramatic effect.
I will come back (I hope in a short time) with a new picture: I have a particular feeling for another manipulation of a Poussin's painting. See you later (to comply with Madiosi's suggestion)
