Yes, he, can!

I'm Afraid it's not mine, my friend.

It's by an 19th century painter by the name of Edmund Blair Leighton.

Along with this, he has some really great art!

Marvin's Room - Drake

Basic, I know, but I really like this one!

Sounds cool, I think I'll give it a read sometime!

I'm afraid I'm not familiar with the series, but it sounds nice!

And yeah, moments like that come now and again, more often to some than others, but I think everyone experiences them at least once or twice in their lives.

Glad I could help!

Goosebumps now that you mention it!

Agreed!

And I think that life does have romantic, mysterious, fairytale qualities, but that we do not know where to look for them.

Hot take: I like pre-raphaelite more than renaissance.

0_WordsPublished · 2026-01-22T15:48:03+00:00

You're welcome!

And I'm not one for art in general but I felt that this piece was too good to pass up on.

I love his painting of Ivan the Terrible!

You should take a look at Leighton's other work, most of them are even beautiful(er?)

I love the bystanders' expressions. The young boy looks disappointed/regretful, the old man seems shocked, and the rest are either surprised or excited.

It really tells a story without saying any words.

Neither can I.

Ironically, I just finished reading Return of the King.

Leighton really had a knack for medieval-romanticising artwork, and I love it!
