Photorealistic 17th Century Portrait

I gave Microsoft Bing this image and asked it to characterize it as if Bing were an academic art critic. It classified my art as photorealism. Interesting. I asked Bing what photorealism was. In its brief lecture it described the work of photorealist artist Ralph Goings, who used paint and watercolor to create images that challenged viewers to question whether or not they were looking at a photograph. But when I looked at Goings, I found something else. I found an artist using his amazing skill to find visual beauty in the most commonplace and mundane places in the world. Like a roadside diner. imgur.com/a/cQ4wh6t
It is his subject matter and love of composition and lighting that lead Goings to shrug off the label assigned to him. Not fair. He was not a technologist. He was a story teller.
