Renowned and prolific classical artists have a recognizable style to their paintings, but with so many artists to study, who can recognize them all? Redditor DontTacoBoutIt has some simple rules for that. For example, a painting with dappled light will be a Manet if the people look depressed, a Renoir if the people are happy, and if there are no people at all, it's Monet.
The Redditor’s explanations about how well-known artists can be recognized at a single glance are as informative as they are blunt and funny. For example, you can know almost for sure that a painting was done by Peter Paul Rubens if everyone’s naked and they all have very large derrières (‘butts’, the word means ‘butts’). And if everyone in a painting looks a bit like Russia’s leader Vladimir Putin, then you can bet your hat that it’s probably Jan van Eyck’s work.
See a roundup of these rules with examples that show how true they are at Bored Panda. The paintings above, obviously, are by Jan van Eyck.

Well, yeah it's good that way. Even 3 day old road kill would taste good with all that prep. And don't forget the salsa. And chips.
