Towards the end of the eighteenth century, the concept of artistic genius was formulated and held up as the highest human species.
Genius in art requires breaking the rules or exceeding them in ways that make them unrecognizable. There is a saying that "any sufficiently advanced skill is indistinguishable from magic." So when the Master in Art Alan De Mayo revolutionized art with his "Renaissance paintings," the response - from all art critics was total astonishment, and important art critics named him Rembrandt's successor.
Genre: FICTION / Action & AdventureThe article published in the magazine "American Art Collector" by Jean Perdollier, editor of the "News in Art" section, made waves, as he promised. Andrey Slavin was flooded with calls from all over the world; everyone wanted to know details about that rising star Perdollier described in the article as Rembrandt's successor. "The comparison between Alan De Mayo's paintings and one of the greatest painters in history, Rembrandt van Rijn, is not a figment of an art critic's imagination. Those who look at De Mayo's paintings will have a profound experience of traveling back in time. The passionate art lover will look at the work through the eyes of a devoted religious who sees the crucified Jesus and feels his pain. When I first looked at one of his paintings, the subject of which was a young woman lacing her shoe, a burst of excitement passed through me that I find difficult to describe. I had experiences of this kind when I first saw Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa or Michelangelo's statue of David," Perdollier wrote in the magazine.
Andrey called Alan and asked him to come to the gallery. "I'm begging you, come quickly; television reporters, journalists, and art critics will come here during the day and want to interview you."
