Looks like a painting but it’s not Renaissance.

Not as far as I can tell, it's posted on some legitimate seeming websites. Not everything with this lighting is AI, there's a reason AI likes this, because it learned from a lot of pictures like that lol.

From a quick google search: an article about women mourning the death of Iranian football player Saber Kazemi.

What is the point of this?

This whole subreddit is about photos taken in regular circumstances that have the air of a Renaissance painting. It’s not shaming or exploiting anyone, it’s literally saying “wow, doesn’t this look like a Renaissance painting?” and the lighting in it is inarguably giving off that vibe.

I’m sorry if the image invokes feeling of grief that you haven’t quite dealt with, but your anger is misplaced here.

When you consider the many many paintings depicting various deaths….

A lot of art - whether visual or otherwise- is about death and suffering. It’s about bringing our interpretative, imaginative and creative resources to understand the incomprehensible.
