Do any of you know about that one painting with Aphrodite being born out of lava with a black swan by her side or did i completely hallucinate that? Been searching for a while but i can’t find it for shit.
I tried googling that description but no luck either, anyone might know what painting this might be (or if it does exist? cause it sounds sick lol)
It took a bit of googling magic, but I think I’ve found it.
I stumbled upon this portrait by Giovanni Boldini purely by chance while looking for stuff on Google images. I only saw the miniature at first and mistook the right end of the coat/dress for a foamy wave, and thought it was a stormy beach scene. Made me think of Ariel immediately ! I clicked on the pic and realized it was completely different though. But… why not ? 🙂 Loved the flow of the pose and Edwardian feel. Just added the iconic wave !
Ariel looks very wistful here. Maybe Eric turned out to be a douche after all (or does he have smelly feet ?) and now she longs to go back to the sea. Don’t give up everything to follow a pretty boy you just met, I guess 😀 No worries, daddy got yo back.
I think one of my favourite things about Murder House Puffy Sleeves, aka Crimson Peak, aka the best goddamn film in the universe, is in the end it just comes down to a knife fight between pre-raphaelites:
More Heath Robinson. He’s remembered nowadays, if he’s remembered at all, for his comedic work, strange inventions that use string and candles to run. The beauty and the composition are forgotten.
