caligula had anime eyes
wait romans painted their marble sculptures
it looks like a cheap theme park ride mascot
yep
here’s a statue of Augustus
and here’s a reproduction of the statue with the colors restored
i honestly think that what we consider the height of sculpture in all of Western civilization being essentially the leftover templates of gaudy pieces of theme park shit to be evidence of the potential merit of found art
“I tried coloring it and then I ruined it”
And you know what the funniest part is? The paint didn’t just wear off over time. A bunch of asshole British historians back in the Victorian era actually went around scrubbing the remaining paint off of Greek and Roman statues - often destroying the fine details of the carving in the process - because the bright colours didn’t fit the dignified image they wished to present of the the cultures they claimed to be heirs to. This process also removed visible evidence of the fact that at least some of the statues thus stripped of paint had originally depicted non-white individuals.
Whenever you look at a Roman statue with a bare marble face, you’re looking at the face of imperialist historical revisionism.
(The missing noses on a lot of Egyptian statues are a similar deal. It’s not that the ancient Egyptians made statues with strangely fragile noses. Many Victorian archaeologists had a habit of chipping the noses off of the statues they brought back, then claiming that they’d found them that way - because with the noses intact, it was too obvious that the statues were meant to depict individuals of black African descent.)
Sorry, I keep reblogging this over and over, the last comment is unbelievable. Wow.
WUT
Knowledge bomb!
Many more fig leaves in strategic places appeared thanks to the Victorians too.

Fun Fact: Apparently Oscar Wilde was 6’3”, which in the 1870s would have been the equivalent of like 6’7”-6’9” tall. He was so ridiculously huge and awkward that one of his friends described him as looking like a “great white caterpillar.” That is all.
When his lover’s father ( one of the founding father’s of boxing as a sport) showed up to kick his ass, Oscar stood up, pulled a gun and said something like “I don’t know what the Queensberry rules are, but the Oscar Wilde rule is to shoot on sight.”
The more I find out about Oscar Wilde the more delighted I am.
i’m pretty sure ulysses was written as a fuck you to the english language itself and, like, i definitely respect that, but also don’t make me read it

So I’m re reading Picture of Dorian Gray
Reasons Richard II is a relatable character:
Just wants to be loved
Problematic™
Gay
Cries a lot
Likes being fancy and having things
Self-perception goes from ‘I’m the most beautiful ever’ to ‘I am Dirt’ and back again
Reasons Henry IV is a relatable character:
Lingering sense of dread
“It seemed like a good idea at the time”
Wants the best for everyone
Competent but ultimately dismayed
Reasons Henry V is a relatable character:
Avoids responsibilities
Uncomfortable family life
Just wants to go out and party with his friends is that too much to ask
Pretends he absolutely 100% knows what he’s doing
Doesn’t
Reasons Henry VI is a relatable character:
Bad at everything
Sad
Wants everyone to be happy (isn’t happy)
Does nothing wrong
Does nothing right either
Didn’t ask for any of this
Reasons Richard III is a relatable character:
Monologues about how ugly he is and then gets mad when he’s insulted
Doesn’t know how to act normal
Jokes about how awful he is
Is actually awful
Weird sense of humor
Has lots of Ambition
just precisely how bad was 1500s jerusalem at making maps, you ask? well,
this…is a fidget spinner
Reblog if you believe in fidget spinner earth.

Your advice was good but I have not determined whether I shall follow it, this place is the Devil, or at least his principle residence, they call it the University…
Lord Byron to John Hanson, November 23, 1805
Well if this ain’t the most relatable thing I’ve ever read.

The Latin word for raisin is “uva passa” which literally means “a grape that has suffered,” and tell me that isn’t the best shit ever
