There's a little bit of a "Pirates of the Caribbean" feel to it. (The ride, not the movies.)

Some drawings by (and of) Johann Heinrich Füssli:

Füssli by George Hayter

Mme Füssli (probably) from the back

Mme Füssli, frontview

Frontispice for Erasmus Darwin's "The botanical garden"
Some late 18th, early 19th c. ladies, slightlyNSFW:
All stolen from https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Cate ... %C3%BCssli, where you can also see some of his very NSFW erotica.
I've been to an exhibition where there were incredibly hot drawings of yet (mostly) clothed ladies. Couldn't find them on the Web.
And of course everybody knows his Nightmare:

The flash of light you saw in the sky was not a UFO. Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and reflected the light from Venus.

Art from toilet paper rolls (looks like G. W. Bush, no?).

https://news.sky.com/story/botticelli-i ... g-11676922Botticelli 'imitation' is found to be the real thing
It was thought to be an imitation of a masterpiece but sometimes it just takes a bit of cleaning and science to find a treasure.
A painting dismissed as an imitation of Sandro Botticelli's Madonna Of The Pomegranate has actually turned out to be the real thing.
The more famous and much larger version is displayed in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence.
For years it was thought that the smaller version, painted in 1487, was a copy by an unknown artist.
[…]
"I noticed instantly that the painting bore a striking resemblance to the workshop of Botticelli himself.
"Stylistically it was too similar to be an imitation, it was of the right period, it was technically correct and it was painted on poplar, a material commonly used at the time.
"After removing the yellowing varnish, x-ray and infrared examination revealed under-drawing, including changes to the final composition uncommon in straight imitations."
[…]
It was bought by diamond magnate Julius Wernher in 1897 and is now part of the Wernher Collection, which includes more than 700 works of art.
ed will scoff, of course.

I know I know!It dates to around 1410 and no one really knows why it’s there.
4 teh LULz of course. Even in 1410.

People who believe God or History are on their side provide the chaos.

Yep, having some fun after all that official work. But that could be cool too:

Uta von Ballenstedt. (Statue 13th c., lady lived first half of the 11th.)
Quite hollywoodian, no?
