This is probably the most gut wrenching, heartbreaking painting I’ve ever seen. The grief on Mary’s face as she holds the corpse of her child. The unimaginable sadness of God taking back one of the only gifts He’s ever given to her. Anyways, I didn’t know where else to express my love for this painting so I guess I’ll just post about it on here.

#The Pieta by William Bougeureau

thanks for the tag @thatfragilecapricorn30

Favorite painter: william alphonse bougeureau. (you would instantly recognize a few of his works, like cupid and psyche as chubby babies, or evening mood, or the broken pitcher, even if you never knew his name.) the way he paints skin and light is just. beyond my comprehension. i was lucky enough to see some of his paintings when the musee d'orsay let them tour a bit, and was just absolutely overwhelmed. his "birth of venus" makes me want to cry. the blush, the water, the clouds, the loving and lustful depiction of curvy bodies. i stood beneath one of his larger works (literally floor to ceiling) for a solid 15 minutes just letting it wash over me.

alfonse mucha and john williams waterhouse are fantastic as well. ...is my art degree showing?

Favorite writer: neil gaiman, and not just because i had dinner with him once. (my future mother-in-law REALLY wanted to impress me... spoiler alert: it worked!)

Favorite band: babe i don't play favorites. if it slaps it slaps. my ipod is a mess.

Favorite meal and drink: there's this sandwich called "[name of the girl i'm dating]" from a small chain called ike's that started in sf. it's unbelievable. (apparently he changed it to "the bella" after they got married.) my favorite drink is thai milk tea with boba.

Favorite outfit aesthetic: comfy. most days are leggings with a t-shirt and/or hoodie.

Favorite singer: at the moment, hozier.

Favorite item I own: my x-files barbies

Favorite possession: uh still my x-files barbies??

Favorite perfume: i can't wear scents because i'm too sensitive :(

"Art, fundamentally is a calling to a higher state of existence a reminder that our senses can transcend lust, it serves to console us whenever we find ourselves in spiritual deserts, it takes us by the hand and shows us the outskirts of our consciousness where our need for the beautiful is free of the carnal, it proves that the human psyche is not just capable of sowing atrocities but to also weave beauty out of tragedy." -Unknown Art by  William Adolph Bougeureau

someone as part of an art book anthology tried to make dante and virgil in hell by bougeureau into like an erotic gay experience [based on the widespread feeling that it was homoerotic to begin with, which i personally agree with] by changing the heads so that the two fighting men are kissing.

the problem is that this version of the picture makes no narrative sense because why if they were lovers would the one guy be kneeing the other in the back. you cant separate the violence from that painting because it's the entire point of it, there is nothing else that can be communicated by the posing of the bodies.

it just seems kind of idiotic to try and make gay softcore directly from dante and virgil in hell

“Dante and Virgil by William Adolphe-Bougeureau. Simply for the masterful display of storytelling in the details of the painting.”

[king-carnivore]

So tempted to redraw Dante and Virgile by William Bougeureau but with Sans, Reigen and the queen as the dead body on the floor
