111 Times People Took A Photograph Only To Realize They'd Captured A Renaissance Masterpiece (New Pics)

Photographers, like any other artists, have to work year after year to hone their craft. Throughout the process, they learn about composition, the exposure triangle, lighting, and many other tricks. Some expertsestimateit might take three to six months with a course to become proficient inphotography, and about three years to learn it on your own.

But sometimes, the right photograph might just manifest itself accidentally. The light comes in just at the right angle, the subject poses just right for a millisecond, and you snap a picture that looks more like a painting by the 15th-century masters. The online community "Accidental Renaissance" celebrates these stunning "oopsies," and we're bringing you the newest collection of masterpieces!

John, 78, took a more stylish approach, rocking a dark purple suit with blue glasses and sneakers, while Furnish, 63, wore a green suit and a light blue shirt.

Also pictured were their two dogs: Labradors Joseph and Jacob.

According toUK's The Telegraph, the portrait was shot three days before Christmas by photographer Catherine Opie and will be on display at London's National Portrait Gallery.

"To have our family photographed by Catherine Opie and on display at the National Portrait Gallery is a huge honor," John and Furnish told the outlet. "We are huge admirers of her work and proud to have her beautiful and poignant images in our collection."

Opie also gushed about the experience, telling the Telegraph that it was "truly an honor" to work with the family, adding, "For me, it represents the humanity of what family can be."

Additionally, Victoria Siddall, director of the National Portrait Gallery, released a statement.

"It celebrates not only Sir Elton John's extraordinary achievements in music but also the vital humanitarian and philanthropic work that he and David have undertaken in recent decades, and the family they have built together," she explained.

John and Furnish originally met through mutual friends in 1993 and entered a civil union in 2005.

Since then, they welcomed their two children via surrogate and officially tied the knot on Dec. 21, 2014.

The "Tiny Dancer" singer later called fatherhood "the greatest thing" during his guest appearance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" in 2016.

"If you'd had said to me 10 years ago I'd be sitting on your show married to the man I love and have two beautiful children I would have said, 'You put acid in my drink,'" he joked at the time.

"But life throws you challenges and life throws you curveballs — great curveballs — and these two children have come along at a time I never thought I'd have children. There's no words to describe how much we love these boys. They're just amazing."

John (pictured with Furnish and Zachary in 2013) previously called fatherhood

In 2019, the legendary musician said that hetries to leave his stage persona behindwhen he's home with his sons.

"They know what daddy does, but I never bring Elton home. I try to leave Elton on the stage," Johntold reportersat the time.

"They know that daddy is famous but … they're quite grounded, as far as that goes. They love their daddy's music, but they also like a lot of other people's music."

Big payday ahead for RB Kenneth Walker III thanks in part to a soft RB NFL Draft class?

While it's hard to label a Super Bowl MVP landing a lucrative deal in free agency a shocker, there was definitive buzz in the agent and executive ranks that Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III will end up getting a deal that puts him in the top three or four highest-paid at his position, with an annual average value that could reach $13 to $14 million per season.

That's a number solidly north of the $9 to $10 million window that some were predicting prior to the Seahawks' Super Bowl-winning run, and still north of the $12 million average that some agents were slotting him at heading into the combine.

The Seahawks aren't expected to use the franchise tag on Walker before Tuesday's deadline, paving the way for the running back to hit the free-agent market,ESPN's Adam Schefter reported.

Why the change of free agency fortunes for Walker? There are two main reasons.

[Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Baseball league for the 2026 MLB season]

First, during the week of the scouting combine, New York Jets general manager Darren Mougey was very suggestive that the team would use the franchise tag on Breece Hall if they couldn't get a deal done by the tag deadline. TheJets reportedly followed through on Tuesday, tagging Hall.

That was at least a surprise, taking the best running back aside from Walker out of the free-agent pool.

The second development in Walker's favor was the running back class being generally soft in this draft and disappointing with a lot of players at the position sitting out portions of workouts at the combine. While there were certainly some combine bright spots, Walker entered this week a winner, now being far and away the best free-agent option at his position and still having several years of prime left ahead of him.

Deadliest Catch star Todd Meadows dies during filming, aged 25

Todd Meadows, best known as a deckhand onDeadliest Catch, has died while filming the show, aged 25.

Meadows was the newest crew member on the Aleutian Lady, a boat featured on the high-riskDiscovery Channelreality series.

According to reports, the vessel was being filmed at the time of Meadows's death, which occurred on 25 February. A GoFundMe set up in his honour confirmed he died while "crabbing out on Alaskan waters".

Deadlineclaimed that the vessel was the last one featured in the forthcoming 22nd season that was still at sea, and that filming concluded shortly after Meadows's death.

Captain Rick Shelford, who has been a regular on the show since 2023, called it the "most tragic day in the history of the Aleutian Lady".

Shelford continued: "His love for fishing and his strong work ethic earned everyone's respect right away. His smile was contagious, and the sound of his laughter coming up the wheelhouse stairs or over the deck hailer is something we will carry with us always."

A spokesperson for Discovery Channel said his death was "a devastating loss", adding: "We are deeply saddened by the tragic passing of Todd Meadows. Our hearts are with his loved ones, his crewmates, and the entire fishing community during this incredibly difficult time."

He is survived by his wife and three children.

Deadliest Catchpremiered in 2005, following a group of king crab fishermen in Alaska as they embarked on the perilous journey to catch the seafood delicacy in the Bering Sea. The title is inspired by the high risk of injury or death linked to the line of work.

In 2019, a boat set to appear onDeadliest Catch: Dungeon Covecapsized in Newport, Oregon, killing three fisherman: Joshua Porter, 50, James Lacy, 48 and Stephen Biernacki, 50.

Discovery Channel paid tribute to the victims: "We feel deeply saddened by the news, as we feel part of the crabbing community. Our thoughts and prayers go out to their families and the entire community during this difficult time."

A friend of Porter told local news he had planned for the voyage to be his last on this particular boat because he found the crew to be "inexperienced".

"Those were his words," Celeste Paranto toldThe Oregonian. "It's very sad. Because he was a responsible person. He went out on the trip and never returned home. I'm really having a hard time with it."

Oregon State Police said that the incident occurred after the fishermen asked the US Coast Guard (USCG) to assist them in crossing the Yaquina Bay bar shortly before 10 pm because of "high seas".

Shortly after, authorities discovered the boat "had capsized with three people onboard". The fatal incident was witnessed by a Coast Guard crew who reportedly carried out a search and rescue mission.

According to the USCG Pacific Northwest'sTwitterpage, they were "battling 12 to 14-foot" waves.

Warriors center Porzingis misses 5th straight game with illness coach Steve Kerr calls

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Golden State center Kristaps Porzingis is still dealing with a medical issue that has sidelined him for a week and a half.

"It's a little mysterious," Warriors coach Steve Kerr said before his team hosted the Los Angeles Clipper on Monday night. "We're obviously working with him and hoping that he can get some clarity and he can kind of break through and get to a point to where he's consistently healthy. But that's something that the medical staff is working hard on with him."

Porzingis had returned to practice Friday and was listed as questionable for Saturday's home loss to the Lakers, then missed his fifth straight game Monday with an illness. It's unclear if he will travel for the team's upcoming three-game road trip.

Kerr said he spoke with Porzingis earlier Monday.

"We had a good chat. He's doing fine," Kerr said. "He's obviously wanting to be back and wanting answers and we'll keep supporting him."

The 7-foot-2 big man from Latvia made his Warriors debut Feb. 19 against his former Boston Celtics team after being acquired in a trade from Atlanta, but hasn't played since. He has appeared in just 18 games overall this season, averaging 16.8 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.6 assists.

Meet the nobodies who are biggest somebodies in Trump college sports roundtable

Look, everyone, it's Tiger Woods! AndTim Tebowand the President of the United States and so many other heavy-hitting heroescoming togetherto fix college sports.

And none of them mean a damn thing.

Except, that is, Jeff Gold, Jere Morehead and Donde Plowman.

Who are they, you ask? Merely three surface nobodies who are the biggest somebodies inPresident Trump's scheduled Friday White House meeting to finally, mercifully, fix what's broken.

The answer of yesteryear:Looking for college football's magic bullet? It's academic eligibility

More money, more problems:Players, cash, lack of consequences. What could go wrong in NIL world?

But nothing gets done without theBig TenandSECsigning off on it, and they're not exactlyplaying nice of late. Which brings us the the big three of the event, where the rubber meets we don't have to do a thing if we don't want to.

Morehead, Georgia's president, is the most powerful president or chancellor in the SEC, and likely college sports. He's widely considered the most hands-on sports administrator in the nation.
Gold, the longtime Nebraska chancellor, led the Big Ten through its return to play during the pandemic season, steering the league clear of a dolt former commissioner's idea of spring football and — get this — two seasons in eight months.
Plowman, the Tennessee chancellor, is at the forefront of the push for collective bargaining, the one true answer — however it's massaged and managed into a plausible system — to gain control of pay for play and player movement.

You can have Tiger or Timmy or Condi Rice or Adam Silver (Adam Silver?). My money is on the Big Three ― Morehead, Gold and Plowman ― to make this thing work.

Because despite what you believe, despite how Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti and SEC commissioner Greg Sankey have become the bad guys in this deal, they're simply herding cats. Or in this case, university presidents and chancellors who make every decision.

That's 18 from the Big Ten and 16 from the SEC, and those 34 men and women will be the sole reason college sports figures a way out of this mess. If it even does.

More to the point, the Big Three at the Trump meeting carry considerable weight within their university caucuses.

There's a reason Tennessee athletic director Danny White has been publicly talking about the need to collectively bargain with players — which, until now, has been last resort, last chance. Well, here we are, everyone.

The last train is leaving the station.

If White is publicly talking about collective bargaining — again, it doesn't have to be collective bargaining as we know it — he's doing it because his boss (Plowman) signed off on it. Plowman will enter that meeting full of collective bargaining research from White and his staff.

That stand-your-ground move by White comes six years after Gold fought the Big Ten — and won. He wasn't buying the cancellation of the pandemic season, and threatened to play a full schedule without the Big Ten.

Think about that: He was willing to go against his conference membership when dealing with the pandemic, possibly leading to Nebraska's expulsion had the Big Ten membership not eventually figured out the lunacy of not playing.

To say nothing of the potential lawsuits from injured players after playing two seasons in eight months (seriously, how dumb was that idea?).

Can Trump fix college sports?Can't sell plan if SEC, Big Ten don't want to hear it

Then there's Morehead, the most powerful player in the most powerful conference in college sports. The conference that could, if it wanted to, break away and make billions as the most-watched product in college sports. By a long way.

Morehead could bring the SEC presidents and chancellors together, and be part of the answer. Instead of being part of the problem.

Look, the SEC and Big Ten could survive in this ever-changing, eat what you kill world. It wouldn't be easy, and there would be annual fires to put out — some costing hundreds of millions of dollars in potential legal losses — but it could be done.

They could survive even without an antitrust exemption. Hell, they're doing it now.

But at what cost, and do they want to be seen as the two conferences that killed college sports as we know it?

Here's why this meeting could actually work, beyond how they eventually figure out the machinations of it all: Who blinks first? The SEC or the Big Ten?

Be the first conference to join the other side, and you're forever seen as the conference that saved college sports. Be the conference that follows, and you're forever seen as being dragged, kicking and screaming, to the answer.

This isn't about Trump, though his bully pulpit helps. This isn't about Nick Saban and his championships, or Tony Dungy or an NFL owner or the reality that no players or player representatives have been asked to attend.

Nothing changes without the Big Ten and SEC saying it does.

And the three surface nobodies who are the biggest somebodies to finally making it happen.
