LIKE ALWAYS, EVERY BIG IDEA STARTS SMALL. ABOUT A YEAR AGO THE CREATORS OF BEAUTIFULMAG.EU DECIDED TO ONCE AGAIN DO SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR THEIR READERS, BUT IT WASN’T UNTIL THEY COMBINED FORCES WITH DIGITAL WIZARD AYMERIC GIRAUDEL THAT THE PROJECT STARTED TO SHAPE. THE IDEA WAS EASY: TO OFFER A BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF PHOTOGRAPHY, IN HIGH RESOLUTION QUALITY, FREE DOWNLOADABLE ON BEAUTIFUL.
The Prophecy is a modern-day fresco. A digital photographic piece of art, consisting out of three separate parts that all together form a larger then life visual, reminding of a Sistine Chapel painting. Over 7 months of work, 35 different models – both amateurs and professionals and starring the famous Nick Beyeler – and many, many shots to create the incredible dynamic poses, create The Prophecy. The work is full of symbolism and, because of the length of the project, carries a lot of influences of happenings and events that colored the lives of the creators over the past half year. The work is of such fabulous quality that it can be printed on large format without loosing any detail, guaranteeing a work full of sensation and emotion that will make your heart beat faster.
Over the past years Beautiful has become an understanding. A window for (gay) artists, creating the exposure and global recognition these people so well deserve. This week saw Aymeric Giraudel’s The Prophecy released worldwide on BeautifulMag.eu, cleverly built up, starting with the publication of the Written Prophecy, a 5 minutes video created by Aymeric Giraudel and the three separate releases of the photographic fresco. The Prophecy is without doubt one of the largest non-commercial digital photograph projects ever undertaken, with no other goal then to create beauty and give that to the rest of the world. Just for the pleasure of sharing the wonderful vision and talent of Aymeric Giraudel.
This article carries the title The Prophecy Fulfilled, but this does not mean The Prophecy ends here. Soon you will be able to find The Prophecy in print form, published in international renowned magazines GUS (Belgium & Europe), Frankly Magazine (Danmark), Horizon (Spain and UK), AKUT (Switzerland) and DNA Magazine (Australia, global). And more is to come... We will keep you informed, here and on BeautifulMag.2 –B-
The Prophecy was created by Aymeric Giraudel for BeautifulMag | BeautifulMedia 2008©.

Wow!!! I'm breathless - such an amazing work and collaboration.
Many thanks to Beautiful Mag and Aymeric Giraudel for this wonderful gift to our community.
Beautiful Mag has been a true inspiration to a project that I've been working on. I just hope I can live up to that inspiration. It will definitely be a challenge worth conquering.
I will be sure to mention The Phrophecy on my site.

Really ?
i found very ugly ! too much kitsch ! nothing to do with the non direct realism of renaissance painting ! far away ! Ok for the technic but this means nothing... But i must say it can be entraining in a gay parade as decoration. No more.

It is a beautiful piece of art, I am soooo interested about the creativites of this pictures . Bravo Thank You for this wonderful piece of art.

Wonderfully put together with such classic surreal feel to it. I disagree with Dimitri 100%... this is not just gay decoration, but a gay artistic expression of the male body; a symbol of male beauty and form. I'd love to see this as a huge mural in a gallery.
