Ligier Richier: 'Cadaver Tomb of René of Chalon' (1545)

academic bias is so funny because you’ll be reading about the same historical event and one person is like “Despite the troubles that befell his homeland and near constant criticism of the court King Blorbo remained strong in the face of adversity” and the other one is like “after letting his people carry the brunt of his cringefail decisions Blorbo the Shitface refused to listen to any reason and continued to be a warmongering piece of shit. Also he was ugly.”

Yea, for I was copying the Bible. And it came to pass that I wrote "gaudium", or joy, when the intended word was "gladium" or sword. And all of the other monks did mock me with cruel words and jests. And when I did recite the Scripture at dinner, I coughed, and Brother Abelard did ask if I had meant to say "gaudium". And on the way to the dormitories I did tell of my encounter with the fearsome black hen of Cheshire, and Brother William asketh of me why I had not slain it with my gladium. And so it came to pass that I took a vow of silence and ceased to speak with all worldly men. Amen.

literally bonkers how paintings and books and songs and stories whose original creators are sometimes long dead continue to profoundly effect people years and decades and centuries later. my favorite song was released almost 30 years before i was born. fairy tales i’ve heard a million times, committed subconsciously to memory, were first conceived of hundreds of years ago in a hundred different places, gone through billions of iterations through the mouths of billions of people. the original author of a story, carver of a statue, singer of a song does not need to be alive for the story, the statue, the song to live on, through other people and by itself. i guess what im saying is art is the closest thing we have to ghosts
