Do you have favourite classical art pieces?
And, as an additional question, any pieces that caught your eye and twist your brain and you'd wish to draw them durgetash edition? (bc Virgil and Enver do deserve all the finesse and the symbolism and I'll die on that hill)
First of all, I don't have a favourite piece, I could never make a decision like that, there's too much art.
But I do have a lot that are inspiring me in a durgetash-specific way, so I'm just gonna dump a bunch at you like a moodboard.
Pieta (detail) by William Adolphe Bouguereau (1876)
Cathédrale Saint-Louis de la Rochelle (details) by William Adolphe Bouguereau
Christ displaying his wounds (detail) by Giovanni Antonio Galli (1625-1635)
Ecce Homo by Guido Reni (1575–1642) (style of)
The Reconciliation of the Montagues and Capulets over the Dead Bodies of Romeo and Juliet (detail) by Frederick Leighton (1855)
The Other Side (detail) by Dean Cornwell (1918)
Lamentation Over the Dead Christ (detail) Sandro Botticelli (1492)
St Sebastian by Nicolas Régnier (circa 1620)
Ixion Chained in Tartarus by Alexandre Denis Abel de Pujol (1824)
La jeune fille et la mort (detail) by Henri Léopold Lévy (1900)
Il Consiglio alla Vendetta (detail) by Francesco Hayez (1851)
This one just makes me imagine Enver and Virgil at a masquerade.
Ok thats enough for now, I could keep going forever, but you get my point.
Also if you (or anyone else) have any that you like or think that I would like, please send them my way, I love this stuff so much.

Tik Tok - Ides of March Edition (A Julius Caesar (the play) fanvid and song parody)
A music video for the upcoming Ides of March!
Based on the song Tik Tok by Kesha with new lyrics and vocals by me. Audio editing by my partner.
(I know it's not the ides yet, but people play Christmas music for a month leading up to Christmas, so.)
Lyrics and artworks in the video under the cut (artist birth and death years where I could not find the year of creation).
Lyrics:
Wake up in the morning feeling hyped up from battle
No I haven't got a crown, but it ain't worth the hassle
Before I leave hear a warning from the cheering mass
I don't care, he's just a dreamer, so I leave him and pass
I'm talkin: just took out my foe, foe,
Got parades wherever I go, go
Bout time I got that throne, throne. [gasp I mean--]
On to the Senate on the Ides, Ides,
Hear the pleading of my wife, wife,
That's when it gets a little bit tricky…
[Chorus:]
Can't stop; you know the gods already made this story up
Three times, I've declined, and it's nearly the Ides
Tick Tock, on the clock, but the Senate don't stop, no
Whoa-oh oh oh, Whoa-oh oh oh
[Repeat Chorus]
Ain't got a care in the world, 'cause her dream's just a dream
And the omens that she's seen could be 'bout anything
Now the Senate's lining up, 'cause they heard I got swagger
Beggin' mercy for Publius--Wait. Is that a dagger?!
I'm talkin bout--errybody got a knife, knife
Even Brutus wants my life, life
Should'a listened to my wife, wife.
Now, now does Caesar lie so low, low,
But the people will still know, know
Of the fortune he brought Rome, Rome…
Fortune he brought
[Chorus x2]
Romans, We stabbed him but, you have to know
This was for Rome, not for power
I loved him but he had to go, a threat he posed to our freedom
Brutus, you stabbed me but, you'll see me soon
upon your doom at Philippi
You'll see me soon upon your doom, upon your doom
But the party don't start 'til Marc walks in.
[Chorus x2]

Saint-Denys-du-Saint-Sacrement, située dans le quartier du Marais (3e arrondissement, un peu au nord de la Seine), fait partie de ces églises édifiées dans les années 1830 et au parti résolument néoclassique, un peu comme Notre-Dame de Bonne-Nouvelle que j'avais visitée l'an dernier. Façade classique à colonnes ioniques et fronton et plan relativement simple à nefs et bas-côtés sans transept. Dans la nef, l'utilisation des colonnes et de la voûte en berceau donne une impression de grande stabilité, presque de sévérité. Le plafond à caisson, dans la nef comme dans les collatéraux, allège un peu cette sensation. L'église abrite pourtant de belles oeuvres d'art, en particulier, dans le choeur, la belle grisaille en trompe-l'oeil d'Alexandre Denis Abel de Pujol. Mais c'est surtout la Pietà de Delacroix, dans la chapelle située à droite de l'entrée, qui assure la renommée de l'église.
(the photos are mine, feel free to reblog but please don't repost. As always, I post my visits of the churches of Paris under the tag #gwenlendiscoverschurches).
