I’m not a classicist, but I suspect one of the reasons so many of the Greek gods are portrayed so unflatteringly was less because they were seen as villains than because they represented their domains. Of course Zeus sometimes misuses his power, that’s what a king does. Of course Artemis’s wrath is wild and painful, that’s what nature can be. Of course Hades snatched away a young girl from her mother’s arms, that’s what death does. This is one of the reasons callout posts for some gods comparing them negatively to ‘nicer’ gods are kind of missing the point.
as someone who is partially a classicist, this is a better analysis of Greek mythology as a whole than 99.95% of the takes I’ve seen on here (and a substantial number of the takes I’ve seen in ~academia~)
The Lady and the Unicorn is the modern title given to a series of six tapestries created woven in Flanders from wool and silk, from designs drawn in Paris around 1500. The set, on display in the Musée de Cluny in Paris, considered one of the greatest works of art of the Middle Ages in Europe.
"According to my only wish."
"The lady with the unicorn. Hearing"
"The lady with the unicorn. Touch"
"The lady with the unicorn. Smell."
"The lady with the unicorn. Vision"
"The lady with the unicorn. Taste"
I made my lovely wife very bored and the security guard very nervous to take closeup photos of these tapestries
look at the transparent outer sleeves of the Lady in the pavilion scene:
ENHANCE
alternating white rows with color to create transparency- clever
doing that while maintaining an underlying pattern, and shading folds in the transparent fabric? Absolute peak of mastery
Ooooh that's magnificent! And the shading on the little pearls! What skill!
The long work after the war.
I loved the Mighty Nein Reunion, and I didn’t have the time to draw when the episodes were airing, so I figured that my first piece in the new year should be my favorites from that campaign.
