"La Muse verte"

by Albert Maignan

Oil Painting, 1895.

Musée de Picardie.

Little note, read if you want!

Long time no see, everybody! I'm back from the ditches, here to present another wonderful piece of art.

Fun fact: like most alcohol and hard drugs during the earlier periods, absinthe was said to be used as medicine for children. How lovely!

Why do I bring this up? Because this painting depicts a poet being visited by a little green fairy. Still not making sense? In historical literature, absinthe is referred to as "la fée verte" (the green fairy).

You might know absinthe as having hallucinogenic properties, but this is false unless you abuse the drink itself. The 19th and 20th centuries describe this as a disorder called Absinthism.

^^ I specifically bring this up because, besides namesake, paintings usually depict a green spirit (that of a woman) sitting or disrupting other people, which could be attributed to the hallucination side-effect of drinking so much.

There is so much history surrounding absinthe that I might as well make an entire post about it. And whenever that does happen, I'll be sure to include all the beautiful artwork associated with the spirit.
