To complete this miniseries: the tragic death of Chatterton, who seems to have gone throgh a storm of receiving ungentle letters while producing some shaky writing of his own at the same time. All of it had to be torn extra thoroughly here.

Another exploration of the bad letter sujet, this time the addressee breaks down by a riverside. Will the pieces of the torn letter lure her into the water as well? 🫣🤕

I have long been fascinated by paintings that depict the arrival of distressing letters; moments in which the world collapses for a young couple or family. Who would commission these works in order to look at them everyday? Both of these examples come from the Tate Britain museum. @tate.bsky.social
