“All I ever did was ask questions.” —Crowley, An Angel who did not so much Fall as Saunter Vaguely Downwards

The original 1617 print (below) reminded me of Crowley.

So I’m a Belgian field archaeologist and art historian who was the only one from my year to actually do archaeology and to not like modern art. This is what my -peers- would say compared to •me• the weird one out of all seven of us.

- “oh my god we have to visit the exhibition on Delvaux!”

• “what the bag maker?”

- “do you know that there were still mammoths around when the Egyptian piramides were build?”

• “I only really care for the mammoths tbh”

- know Latin. Know basic Greek and Roman myths. Also handy for art

• the fuck you tryna say that Odin is Jupiter? Also this dope ass Old High German magic spell that cures horse legs

- afraid to get dirty.

• Shit forgot to wash my hands. Nearly finished the sandwich anyway. Might as well keep going

- think Norse mythology is only cool in marvel movies

• Völsunga vs Tolkien: dragon, ring, dwarves, pile o’gold. I see no difference

- “why do you enjoy classical art so much? It’s so many portraits and landscapes?”

• *tries not to get infuriated trying to enjoy the depth, angle, light and photo realism of a 33 cm tall goldfinch while they shove a picture of white paint smeared open on a 3 meters tall canvas in my face*

Why did I even make this post?

"I assure you good sir, I have made 276 paintings of naked young women because I have a fascination for Greek and Roman mythology. There is nothing sexual about this." - Average Victorian painter.

Obviously, this thought having occurred, I was left with only one choice—to find out whether any sitters were joined by a pug in their portrait. In the end, I found three portraits painted with pugs, although two of the three may depict the same pug (Raton), as they share a sitter (George Augustus Selwyn) and were painted about six years apart.
