by Francisco Goya
it’s one of his fourteen Black Paintings he painted on the walls of his house in his last years. this was in his dining room. all of the works in the series are haunting but this one stayed with me (literally, it’s now my phone case)
I stumbled on this piece at the MFA Boston in college it really is stunning. Bonus Answers:
Judith Beheading Holofernes - Caravaggio
Saturn Devouring His Son - Goya
The Garden of Earthly Delights - Bosch
this summer, we’re starting yoga, we’re learning a new language (being bilingual is now the standard, you need to know at least three to be truly chic), we’re going to concerts just because the tickets were cheap, we’re going to museums (especially the weird ones), hitting up the local library to ask for new recommendations, whether it’s a surprise or based on past tastes, we’re painting, collecting and collaging, sewing and embroidering our clothes, re-learning the harmonica, playing chess with strangers online and at the café, we’re taking up tennis and pretending it’s not just because of challengers. the only way to find what brings you joy is to try.
