part 347 dimensions of sight and sound
and of mind. Do do do do do do do do do do do.
How was your end-of-December-into-January time, meme? Did you make any New Year's resolutions? Or light a candle in your window in the hopes that Himaruya would update again instead of leaving us behind like an 19th century light house keeper's wife whose husband has gone off to sea? ... Did you?
Enjoy part 347!

Re: Ask a vuri?
Ah, and I forgot J. W. Waterhouse's Ophelia, too! (He actually painted I think three different Ophelias… I feel like Ophelia was the 19th century painters' version of the "sad anime girl in snow" trope. Ophelias, Ophelias, everywhere, all lovely and tragic and occasionally soggy.)
Do you have a favorite artist, anon?

(Anonymous) 2014-01-10 04:38 am (UTC)(link)I wonder if that's how they were viewed in the day... like "ohh great ANOTHER Ophelia."
I really like portrait paintings, and Thomas Gainsborough is one of my favs!
Re: Ask a vuri?
Gainsborough is awesome! And I think he's especially amazing because iirc he wasn't able to go study in the city until he was already in his twenties and had been working for a while - and he made a huge amount of progress quickly and relatively later in his career than most other artists.
My favorite portrait artist is a three way tie between John Singer Sargent, Henry Raeburn and Thomas Lawrence right now.
