"The Annunciation with Saint Emidius" by Carlo Crivelli

Found this on my phone but I don't even remember ever seeing or saving this painting. It's brilliant though so worth a share 😄

"At Forty-Seven Grosvenor Square" by Leonard Campbell Taylor

The lemur's name is Mah-Jongg and the humans are the Courtauld (old money and incredibly important names in the world of art, since they owned so much of it)

"Triumph of Love and Beauty" by Thomas Willeboirts

The painting appears to depict Cupid (love) standing triumphant over the headless body of a soldier (war), surrounded by books, musical and scientific instruments, and art (beauty).

7th April marks the birthday of Charles Dickens. Here are a couple of portraits of him when he was a younger man. Dashing!

"Medusa" by Peter Paul Rubens

Raped by a male for rejecting him and then severely punished for it by a female and turned into a hideous creature, Medusa is not the REAL monster in her life's story. I rest my case.

"Cadmus Fighting the Dragon" by Hendrick Goltzius

Paintings about slaying dragons and other mythical creatures always make me feel like a kid again. Back when I thought evil only existed in fairytales.

"The Temptation of Sir Perceval" by Arthur Hacker

In this painting, we should see devout Sir Perceval being tempted by the devil disguised as a beautiful woman. However, some see a gay guy trying to get away from a woman who just won't take the hint.

"Sophia Alekseyevna" by Ilya Repin.

This painting depicts Sophia after she had lost her reign of Russia and was imprisoned in Novodevichy Convent. The fiery look in her eyes says she is ready and willing to fight to reclaim the power she once possessed.

"The Funeral (Dedicated to Oskar Panizza)" by Georg Grosz.

"In a strange street by night, a hellish procession of dehumanized figures mills, their faces reflecting alcohol, syphilis, plague ... I painted this protest against a humanity that had gone insane."

This painting is said to have been inspired by the artist losing two of his brothers to tuberculous. A beautiful painting birthed from great sorrow.

You might think this is CCTV footage of a drone in New Jersey but it's actually... Well, erm... I think it's Jesus being beamed down by a UFO.

Proof that "crawling/being up someone's ass" is not a new expression. Here, we see people doing exactly that to Mr. Moneybags.

Apparently, doctors used to believe that the cure for mental health issues was to remove "the stone of madness" in one's head. And then an artist thought it would make a really cool painting.
