i am gay like my father before me

where is that renaissance painting with those two fellers and a giant fucking random skull on the floor that looks like it was accidentally stretched out in photoshop

somebody please explain

Someone once told me it’s like that because it was designed to be hung in a stairwell so the skull pops out as you walk past.

…I guess it works but you have to be at a pretty sharp angle

There was a whole trend at one point where artists would include something in their paintings (usually a skull, for whatever reason) that’s super distorted in just the right way so that it looks normal if you hold the painting up to a convex/concave mirror. I have absolutely no idea why. But I think that’s what’s going on here.

as an art historian, i think this is the best post on tumblr

if you have watched the netflix show dark and if you’re a non-german speaker please reblog this and put in the tags if you watched it in your language or in german with subtitles in your language, would be interesting to know

this is extra funny if you know that the show is in fact not scripted, for the kids anyway, so the 3 of them who were on the show were only told a basic outline of the scene so (most) of what they said was exactly what they thought of on the spot and the adults had no idea what was going to happen
