Hey 🙂

i'm trying to find a painting that'd look cool on the wall above the head of my bed.

I like art, but don't know much about it.

Goya, Caravaggio, Blake, ... love that kinda stuff.

But i'd like to find an image that somehow depicts hedonism (preference hedonism / desire satisfaction theory) in a not so creepy way. Don't wanna scare away my potential companions 😅

Do you have an idea?

Thx!

I love el bosco, but the evolution of this painting was probably Bruegel in 'the triumph of death'. If you include the other panels of the triptych, it is less salutary.
