John Martin's "Seventh Plague of Egypt" is a masterclass in evoking drama through contrast. It expertly juxtaposes the divine with the mortal, the natural with the engineered, and light with darkness. The composition is not just a visual representation but also an emotional and philosophical commentary on themes like faith, hubris, and destiny. A.I. art platforms like midjourney, while technologically sophisticated, often grapple with recreating such poetic and dramatic contrasts. Their algorithms are primarily driven by patterns and data, which makes it challenging to imbue the depth of perception and nuanced symbolism found in human-created art.

The artist wants to say something, the algorithm has to correctly answer the question

I’ve seen that in real life. It is in the museum of fine arts in Boston. I could not stop looking at all of the intricate details in the painting. It was truly one of the coolest paintings they I have ever seen.

I'm once again thinking about that tweet that said "I didn't believe in the concept of a human soul until AI showed me what art is like without it"

The Seventh Plague painting is genuinely so beautiful. I’m not particularly familiar with the story of the Plagues of Egypt, but John Martin really worked wonders with contrast and fear of otherworldly power in this one.

I think a better argument would be that machines can't cross the gap from syntax to semantics. They are very good at learning to associate "shapes" (image shapes, letter shapes, sound shapes, ect) to other shapes, but at no time does an AI have a "thought" that it wants to communicate and in order to do so encodes that thought into specific shapes because those shapes have some semantic meaning to it subjectively or otherwise. The real question is if semantics is really just an incredibly large, general network of shape associations when you get down to it.

He did his thesis on this painting and just wanted a way to share it with us.

That’s actually my favorite piece of art of all time. Did a paper of it back in college and was so excited to be able to see it in person at the Boston Art Museum. Love it so much.

I've never seen the Seventh Plague of Egypt by John Martin before, but the indigo/blurple sky looks so fearsome, but in a good way.

John Martin will forever be my favourite painter for his masterful use of contrast and scale.

Art done by humans is no joke. I once saw a giant painting in the Tel Aviv museum of art, that pictured a bunch of Jewish people of all ages praying in a synagogue. But there was so much more to it, that I can’t even describe. The size made them look slightly bigger than real life, the details were immaculate, down to the veins on people’s eyelids and there were three women, hidden in the background, whose eyes followed the viewer wherever he goes. I looked at it for 30 minutes straight and started to cry. Seriously I’m normally not a sentimental person, but this thing somehow got me 😅

That John Martin painting is legitimately one of the most gorgeous paintings I’ve ever seen. I’ve never gasped seeing a painting before until this one. Thanks for exposing me to it.

I only ever see people talk about the finished product, but not the creation process. I think there’s so much inherent value in the making of something, both to the artist and the audience.
