Can't believe the photoreal quality of this artwork. And knowing that it is a painting from 1886 is more exciting!

This isn’t digital?
Nope. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonaparte_Before_the_Sphinx
Wow that’s awesome. Thanks for the reply.
If you search for the image online there’s another version that looks a bit more natural. I think this one has been retouched as it’s more crisp with more contrast with a bluer sky. But I can’t be sure because I’m just a caveman.
Look at the different versions. Which do you think is representative of the real oil on canvas?
I totally thought it was AI rendered.
I thought it was a photograph at first.
