Hi Steemit,
Here take a look at this sweet-ass painting of the Biblical Cain and his tribe:
First off, take a look to appreciate how technically amazing this painting is, then take a look at how totally ripped everyone is. Makes sense because according to legend* Cain and his followers totally became vampires .
Listen, don't take my word for how awesome this painting is, just check out some of these deets, that I personally took for you, the Steemit community at the highest resolution available on the internet.
Look at those muscles! Look at the amazing contrast between the haggardness of the tribe and the tenderness around that young woman! Did you know Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and Van Gough studied under the creator of this painting? That's probably because he's a hardcore tour-de-force of technical mastery in figurative art.
in 1924 Cormon was run over by a fucking taxi. That taxi was easily the worst thing to happen to art during that decade. -C
**By legend I mean this crappy 2006 angelfire article I found.
Did you ever hear of Lilith and her story? Haha perhaps not so far off
I'm writing my thesis on Lilith ;) indeed not so far off ;)
