An uncharacteristic text post.

This website's latest changes in order to pander to mobile traffic have made creating image posts in their original form impossible, thus breaking the flow and format of this blog.

If you see the latest post I've made on my page (on desktop), you'll see what I mean, it doesn't appear as the rest do, and I see no way to change that.

I've already spent the last years maneuvering around every senseless change this website has made (my theme, for example, is based on the old system, and to even go into the code editor without touching anything else will irreparably break it)

This has been, above all else, a visual-forward blog, everything from the presentation to the content – purely a meditation on the art. Unless there's a way to work around this newest obstacle, I see no way that I can continue posting and be satisfied with the results.

If you see me continue to post here, I'm doing so very begrudgingly. If the posts stop, you'll know why.

A Witches’ Sabbath, Cornelis Saftleven, 1640, Art Institute of Chicago: European Painting and Sculpture

An old woman riding a goat and brandishing a broomstick dominates this picture, which is an outstanding example of Cornelis Saftleven’s work in a traditional Netherlandish genre: scenes of hellfire and witchcraft. Pioneered by Hieronymous Bosch and given new life by Jan Brueghel and Jacques de Gheyn II a century later, such ghoulish subjects were aimed at an audience of sophisticated collectors. Paintings and drawings in this genre combine precise scientific observation—as here in the moth wings of the howling figure on the right—with a sense of powerful, uncontrolled natural forces. George F. Porter Collection Size: 21 3/8 × 30 ¾ in. (54.3 × 78.2 cm) Medium: Oil on panel
