Slaves Treated Very Badly

Go to CruxDreams.com
Eventually, though, if you treat slaves badly enough, a revolution can happen. Then the rich bitches who watched the slaves laboring in the hot sun and had them whipped for trivial offenses are made to strip and expose themselves to the crowd of their inferiors before they are sent to their fate at the end of a rope. Three excellent images by chimaera.

Meant to say.

When even the most beautiful and alive person passes 30, they should consider being fitted for glasses.
"Vanity, thy name is woman." is appropriate here, but misquoted. "Frailty, thy name is woman," is what Hamlet really said.
But this image does catch Barbaria1's self admiration!4.jpg

Lady Lilith

Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828-1882), co-founder of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood

Model is Elizabeth Siddal, his muse, model and wife. He painted or drew over a 1,000 likenesses of her (sound like our obsession with Barbara).

After her death by probable suicide, he painted her as the poet Dante's beloved Beatrix at the point of death.

Warning!! Boring, short academic lecture (my mother went to Art School and bored me with these things. I pass it on in her memory. If you don't like. don't read, but no your mama jokes!)

He painted it hazy to imply a dream or a vision. He said that he wasn't painting her at death, but transformed by a 'sudden spiritual transfiguration' Like all Pre-Raphaelites, he filled it with symbols. Some are:

A red dove descended on her to show the Holy Spirit. In its mouth is an Opium Poppy (Siddal died of a overdose (maybe intentional) of laudanum.

She is posed in ecstacy, hands before, mouth open, perhaps about to receive Communion

According to Rossetti's friend F.G. Stephens, the grey and green of her dress signify 'the colours of hope and sorrow as well as of love and life'

Dante the poet is in the background looking at Love, drawn as an Angel in red, the color of passion, holding a flickering flame to represent Beatrix/Siddal's life)

Find other symbols if you wish.
