what artists do you think inspire Caius' paintings?
• — 𝐶𝑎𝑖𝑢𝑠' 𝐴𝑟𝑡𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑐 𝐵𝑟𝑖𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒
If anyone was unaware, Caius is in my worldbuilding (and many others) a true artist who has been using this hobby as a way to ground himself through the ages. A lot of the palazzo’s artwork is his doing though he prefers to stay anonymous a lot of the time. And if you are curious, this is Caius’ artist tag on my blog.
Well, Caius has been an artist for many centuries at this point in time. And I do believe that he is cocky enough of a person to consider himself in a different class and league than human artists and painters.
I believe that he was ahead of his time quite a lot since he was able to dedicate more hours, energy and precision into his craft due to vampirism. In short; Caius was creating highly detailed Romanticism and Realism paintings long before other artists were able to.
If I was to describe his artistic style I would say that he paints with the brilliance of the Renaissance, mixed with the deep emotions of the Romantics and finishes his masterpieces with he flourish and storytelling of the mythical greeks.
But, if you were to ask Caius about a couple of his favourite artists through the ages he would mention; Germán Gedovius, Edwaert Collier, Nathalie Schultheiss, Peter Paul Rubens, Caspar David Friedrich and Ferdinand Keller.

MWW Artwork of the Day (10/25/21)
Ferdinand Keller (German, 1842–1922)
Bezahlung (The Payment)(1883)
Oil on canvas, 56.5 x 46 cm.
Private Collection
Keller gained his fame primarily through decorative painting, but he, like many other German artists of the period, supplemented his income by producing genre paintings -- especially one of tavern scenes, like this one -- to satisfy the demand for such from the newly wealthy of Gilded Age America. This particular painting, in fact, could easily be mistaken for one by the American antebellum genre painter William Sidney Mount (1807-1868), whose works were highly sought-after at the time. (A decent selection of Mount's works can be found in the MWW "Americana 2" gallery.)
