The Panther Painting Oil on Canvas, 2022 Dimensions: 66 inches x 84 inches
This painting took over 800 hours spread out over 6 months. It depicts Mallie, a black jaguar that I photographed at a small zoo in Cave Junction, Oregon. The jaguar is surrounded by over 40 different panther-related toys from various generations of pop culture. The decorative motif is primarily influenced by an illuminated prayer book from the Sistine Chapel.

When Aziraphale and Crowley dropped by the Sistine Chapel for a visit, they noticed that Adam and Eve weren’t historically accurate, but they couldn’t find a suggestion box.

Michelangelo - The Last Judgment - 1541
The Last Judgment (Il Giudizio Universale) is a fresco by the Italian Renaissance painter Michelangelo (Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni) covering the whole altar wall of the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City. It is a depiction of the Second Coming of Christ and the final and eternal judgment by God of all humanity.
The work took over four years to complete between 1536 and 1541 (preparation of the altar wall began in 1535). Michelangelo began working on it 25 years after having finished the Sistine Chapel ceiling, and was nearly 67 at its completion.

ok maybe this is a shitpost, but is it so far fetched given these parallels:
Ash is stuck in the house like their baby is stuck in Whit's womb Ash gets pulled out of the house by the doula Ash gets cut out of the tree when Whit is getting a c-section Ash dies (and is reborn?) as Whit is giving birth to their baby Ash's last words to Whit were along the lines of "wahhh i'm a baby"

The Sistine Chapel Crucifix
On Saturday, December 12, 1931, Gandhi had a strange encounter with one such man ["of faith and non-violence incarnate"]. It took place in the Vatican Museums. After being shown the masterpieces of some of the world's greatest artists, Gandhi was taken to the Sistine Chapel — the place where Popes had been elected since 1492; the place where Michelangelo's paintings adorn the ceiling and Raphael's tapestries decorate the sturdy walls alongside frescoes of Perugino, Botticelli, Ghirlandaio, and Rosselli. Here, amidst the profusion of colour, symbols, tradition, and against the backdrop of Michelangelo's Last Judgment, Gandhi's eyes fell on a simple wooden crucifix at the centre of the high altar. A common tourist would normally have been transfixed by Michelangelo's depiction of lost souls in contorted bodies behind it. But Gandhi was neither a commoner nor a tourist. He stopped before the crucifix for some time. He contemplated the dying Christ, half-naked, bleeding, and suspended by nails in his hands and feet. He surveyed the image, moving to look at it from the rear of the altar, then from each side, "as if to perform a pradakshina [circumabulation of a deity] of it." Mira noticed his moist eyes. He then whispered to Desai on his way out of the chapel, "One can't help being moved to tears." The Pope's inability to grant him an audience and Mussolini's sinister hospitality coalesced in this unexpected encounter with the Crucified — author of the 'Beatitudes' he loved so much.
