    Found this really pretty painting today. I have no clue how to tell if it is painted by a human or a machine. Up close, it’s all paint. All brushstrokes. It just seems too nice a painting for the flimsy frame it’s in. Can’t find the artist on google. Any ideas?

      This is a version of River Landscape With a Column by Canaletto, a capriccio (“caprice” or fantasy painting, with unrealistically combined architectural elements, here an Italian column on an English landscape). The original was painted around 1794 and hangs in the National Gallery in DC. Interesting that most of the human figures from the original are removed in your version but the fisherman to the right of the column is still there.
