I've been sick and really out of it, and felt possessed to print out some classic statues. I asked my partner for one to start with, and they chose Winged Victory of Samothrace

I love that museums and independent organizations just go around using high quality scanners to help make history more accessible, even in small ways like this. I'll likely never visit the Louvre, or Greece if they ever get it back, but I can print my own

Public decency standards for figural fountains are wild. Like, yes, you can run the fountain’s water channel directly through the figure’s penis, but – and this is key – only if the figure is sculpted in such a way as to make it 100% clear that it’s a flaccid penis. A statue just pissing everywhere is fine, but statue jizz is where we draw the line.

Extreme Baroque: Iron Temple On The Rice Mountain
Grotesque images from the Buddhist Iron Temple (鐵佛寺).
Located on the Rice Mountain (米山), Mixi (米西村) village, Jincheng, Shanxi, the temple is of an unknown construction date. The earliest record on the stone pillar in the main hall dates back to the seventh year of the Dading (大定) period of the Yuan or Jin dynasties. There is evidence that the temple was reconstructed in the third year of Wanli (1575). However, in the county annals, it is mentioned no earlier than the Qing dynasty.
These astonishing, presumably Ming statues owe their creation to the proximity of an iron ore. Iron frames made it possible to give the clay figures intricate poses and frilly decor.
