Long hair in paintings and things of old...

[lapushka]

I just came across this video, which I thought was an amazing collection of paintings featuring long hair:

If you find images like these, that are frankly amazing, then please share!

Beautiful art! I would love to have something like that on my wall.

[Sarahlabyrinth]

That's beautiful!

In 2013 DH and I went to Skagen in northern Denmark and this painting was in the museum, an odd subject but I did love the hair!

Oh and look how the hair changes color with the blonde ends! Nice painting and thank you for sharing! I have never seen it.

Sarah that's quite beautiful. Very powerful painting. I am not sure I can post this directly here but it is just beautiful. One of my favourite bands, cds and front covers

I didn't want this thread to be a "bulky" thread and so I didn't embed the video. ;)

My thoughts are to keep the content on the thread when possible instead of having to leave the page to watch a video or follow a link. But that is my style!
Not everyone even notices a link as the thread goes on. I was in the advertising business and my job was to make catchy visuals. This style is embedded in me for life :)
Thanks for starting this thread, I think it will be popular and fun.

Love this thanks for sharing. I love history

[Larki]

Oh I love this, these are so inspiring.

[Sarahlabyrinth]

I love all the paintings!

I absolutely love this topic! I just bought some canvases, perhaps a long hair painting is in order...
LadyLongLocks I love the classics video, long hair was so common then they had so much inspiration to paint from. So envious! Just watching every-day ladies doing their routine brushing and styling was enough for a beautiful subject. Love the variation in art styles too.

The work of John William Waterhouse comes to mind when I think of the vibe all my long-haired dreams have...

Not very inspired but I've just found this quick sketch that I did some months ago. I've also checked some old paintings, and there are several long haired gals there, I'm sure I've done a bunch more but here's what I found by now. Most are quite old.

WIP Lady Godiva in watercolor. I've got it finished somewhere. As it contains "nudity", I'll just post the hotlink: Lady Godiva (https://i.imgur.com/iprV6Cr.png)

The original painting is a big favourite of mine, you can see it here (https://www.flickr.com/photos/sofi01/8533655014)

After my exams I've got to take my paintbrushes again... I really miss it, after a couple comissions in january I've totally stopped :shrug:


Another painting that I love to bits, actually it's my fav painting ever, it's the Venus Birth by Cabanel (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b2/Alexandre_Cabanel_-_The_Birth_of_Venus_-_Google_Art_Project_2.jpg), it's in the Museum D'Orsay in Paris, I've visited it several times. Hotlink because of nudity mimimi.

^ This is a picture postcard of Atayal indigenous people of Taiwan, which shows a woman with beautiful knee-length hair. This postcard is in the collection of Lafayette College Special Collections. I just think it's beautiful, I love the natural taper of her hair.

^ These are two more picture postcards, dating from approximately 1905. They depict two Alsacian women - one whose classic-length hair is down and being dressed by the other one. This is such a playful and sweet pair of images featuring hair. I love their amazing Schlupfkapp hair pieces as well, so neat to see the traditional headgear of Strasbourg/Alsace in a souvenir postcard from that era.

queencarrion, those are neat! :) Thanks for posting!

I don't know if it was in one of the videos from earlier in this thread, but Birth of Venus by Botticelli is my favorite painting of all time https://www.google.be/search?q=birth+of+venus&tbm=isch&sxsrf=ALiCzsYw-GBaBJhRY8c0jpwL7mgphCyeWg%3A1668530662527&source=hp&ei=5sFzY7ChHYi1sAfZj7uwDQ&oq=birth+of+venus&gs_lcp=ChJtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1pbWcQARgAMgUIABCABDI FCAAQgAQyBQgAEIAEMgUIABCABDIFCAAQgAQ6BwgjEOoCECc6B AgjECc6BAgAEAM6CAgAEIAEELEDUJ4GWN4xYNg3aAFwAHgAgAG 6AogB6wmSAQgxMi4xLjAuMZgBAKABAbABBQ&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-img#imgrc=UM5KTJVXYfzvKM

What a great source, I want them to be a screensaver that automatically plays the slideshow with soft classical music :)

I´m on tumblr and I follow some art blogs so those paintings pop up from time to time. They´re not easy to find because not everyone tags their posts but this blog (https://life-imitates-art-far-more.tumblr.com/tagged/long%20hair) for example has a long hair tag and you can see many more.
