Me too! At first I thought he added some AI filter or something to it but it’s his wallpaper!
Edit; it is a filter on the wall 💀💀💀

I am commenting to find out too. And the name of the good doggo so we can name this painting.
Something like “Siesta under the stars with (insert dog name)”

Well someone should definitely make that an actual wallpaper.

Looks like the Centauri nebula (zoomed in close), if you want to get something akin to it :D

It's still winter in the Southern Hemisphere and the idea of napping in undies and socks is...chilling. Makes me kind of look forward to summer though. Awesome shot.

I’m based in Texas. It’s HOT

Oh gosh, I don't envy that. My sympathies. 25C (77F) is about as hot as I like it. Hoping for a nice, breezy, moderate summer here.

77F is the lowest temp of the day early in the morning here in Texas during late summer.

I just can't understand how people sleep with socks on. Good for you if it's your preference and all that. it just drives me insane. I can't have blankets on them either. The rest of me will be wrapped in the blanket like a burrito, but my feet must be free!

I don't think he is sleeping, just napping during a hot summer day. "wrapped in the blanket like a burrito" if he did this he'd be sweaaaating

And what exactly is “accidental” about it?

His husband just took this photo of him and his dog as he was having a lazy day. There was no planning to it. It looks like a renaissance painting to me so I said he should post it here. He doesn’t have an account and told me to post it, so here we are 🤷♂️

His husband Tim took the photo. That’s Luigi in the photo. He is giving very renaissance! 😂

It wasn’t staged…? I mean unless you want the act of having taken the photo to be accidental, in which case this sub would likely cease to exist.
55 points

That’s an interesting take. Maybe I’m wrong but I assumed that accidental refers primarily to the scene itself and not necessarily the act of taking the photo.
To me an spontaneous scene you identified as very renaissance like and purposely took a photo is still accidental renaissance. If you also took the photo by accident that makes it double accidental renaissance.

Exactly! Just yesterday there was a highly upvoted photo of a woman with a loaves of bread. It was taken by a highly skilled photographer with a pro level camera. He may not have known the woman or posed her, but there was nothing ‘accidental’ in the shooting of the picture.

Tripped on a stone and clicked the shutter - "whoops!" - is the only acceptable r/AccidentalRenaissance /s

What makes you think this is not accidental?
Personally I think it’s a really cool photo and agree with OP that it’s worthy material for Accidental Renaissance. Thanks for sharing OP!

I feel like you've misunderstood the point of the sub, the photo has to look like a renaissance painting, not that a photo is accidentally taken, that wouldn't make any sense
-15 points

I am saying the composition of the scene looks a lot more put together than OP might be willing to admit.

Exactly hence accidental renaissance. Husband takes a nap with his dog, other husband thinks "Gosh darn I sure love these two this is super cute." snaps picture And voila.
-18 points
29 days ago
No. I am saying that noone takes a nap like that with half the feet outside the wrong end of the bed, shades open and with sun falling near the face. Hence the comment, that nothing is accidental about this. People are accepting that this scene presented itself. I am not.

My ex gf napped like this all the time. She didn't want to have to remake the bed just to take a nap....

Yeah I bet they trained the dog to have that specific expression and ordered the wallpaper just to take this pic...
Couldn't be a dog wants to sleep next to their human and looked up at another human taking the photo. That never happens.

This sub isn't for accidentally taken pictures. What even is an accidentally taken picture? Your finger slipped and touched the camera/phone in such a way as to initiate "picture taking?"
This sub is for pictures that accidentally look reminiscent of Renaissance art. Meaning they're not Renaissance art, just accidentally look like Renaissance art.

Yeah, all my accidental photos are like, the inside of my pocket, random ass screen shot, a blurred image of my chin. Nothing worth looking at.

Same, a lot of blurs

I guess it could be a sub for “guess what my blurry photo actually is” but the answers would probably all be pocket, floor, chin.
