A group of four female athletes are in various states of repose after completing a relay event at the Olympics. Three are looking toward the upper right at something offscreen; the woman on the left has anxious tears in her eyes. The fourth young woman is facing the woman on the left who is crying and comforting her. All are wearing orange racing tank tops and blue athletic shorts. They all have long hair that is either partially up and braided or completely braided.
This really DOES look like a Renaissance painting scene composition… I actually wonder about how authentic it would look if the subjects were rendered in Renaissance period appropriate dress.
There you go
Somehow OPs photo looks more renaissance than this
Yeah I just put the alt-text description as prompt to Stable Diffusion and upload the photo as reference. It seems that the AI failed to paint the various genuine expressions of the athletes that makes the photo so accidentally Renaissance.
What’s the story?
Tineye says that it’s from the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. This article is referenced – so I assume that these are Dutch competitors – but it has a different story and images visible there, talking about badminton.
I think that it’s the Dutch women’s relay team.
EDIT: Yeah, it was a past post on /r/AccidentalRenaissance, though that community is currently private. “Dutch women 4x400 relay team looking at their score : r/AccidentalRenaissance”
…morning glory?
This image is an impossibly accurately germane match for this community. Bravo!
Was this description written by an AI bot? Was this post?
Re: the rules on the side: “Alt-Text for vision-impaired users in the post body or in the comments is highly encouraged. Just pretend you are describing a photo to someone on the phone.”
Some instances have “alternate text” boxes that don’t show up for everyone but allow screen readers to read it, but if not, just put it in the body. Or as a comment.
Alt-text is also a good way to train AI algorithms
It’s alternate text for people with visual impairments/screen readers.
I wrote it.
Maybe it’s written for people with visual impairments.
It would be pretty impressive if an AI could create a description that is as accurate as that. Obviously the description isn’t perfect but it’s not bad either.
That could help a lot with accessibility if AI-enhanced screen readers could interpret images too.
Yeah, no /s, this would be a good use of AI.
It would actually be interesting to use the descriptions here as a prompt for AI to see what it comes up with and compare.

I did try but it’s just too difficult for AI to accurately capture the emotional expressions of the athletes without further interference.
This actually feels more like an Accidental Baroque IMHO. Awesome nevertheless
I’m pretty sure the original Accidental Renaissance subreddit allowed Baroque and maybe Impressionist images, correct me if I’m wrong.
