Subscribing for more weird art history facts

[-] MrsDoyle@sh.itjust.works 18 points 2 years ago

From Wiki: "In 1819, at the age of 72, Goya moved into a two-story house outside Madrid that was called Quinta del Sordo (Deaf Man's Villa). Although the house had been named after the previous owner, who was deaf, Goya too was nearly deaf at the time as a result of an unknown illness he had suffered when he was 46."

I've seen these paintings and had no idea about any of this. I also want more weird art history facts.

Artists really go all out on their goblin mode

It's in the contract and rigorously enforced by the union. Clause 41, section 182: You must be at least this much goblin to art.
