I suspect there are hundreds if not thousands of photos in the gallery on your phone. If you take a moment to scroll through all of them, there are chances you might spot one that stands out. It’s hard to put a finger on what exactly makes it so special, but the composition, the light, the atmosphere are somewhat unique…

Created back in 2014, the subreddit is home to 869k “universalis personae” better known as members of the community who appreciate anything from the Renaissance to the Dutch Golden Age. Below waits the new batch posted on the subreddit, so scroll down and enjoy!
