The Truth Lies Beneath the Surface by Kamil Jadczak. “Rusałka is a slavic female demon usually appearing around lakes, ponds or rivers. She deceives men and drowns them. I wanted to show her as a dead corpse that uses a charm, so that she looks like a pretty woman when out of the water.”
another classic by the sosias painter that I actually got to see irl and cried
I found this recently, a work titled Achilles mourning the death of Patroclus by Cy Twombly which i thought was cool that they were represented in abstract art
and i know this is menelaus and patroclus but i love this one so much menelaus is a hottie
I’m always surprised there aren’t that many artworks inspired by the trojan war from neoclassical, academic or romantic artists tbh
