idk, can we do knorpelgroteske?
http://img.blogster.com/view/akermariano/post-uploads/keller.jpg
Shortlived but kinda fascinating.
Can I quote myself from something which I haven't actually finished yet?
...together forming a sort of musical knorpelgroteske, the 17th century Germanic artform where ornamental foliage intertwines and melts into half-seen faces of animals, monstrously distorted or assimilated into the vegetative surroundings, so that the viewer can never be quite sure what exactly is being portrayed, other than getting an impression of the primal fear, of man, peering into the darkened forest.

Can I can I? clearly i can, entitled m'f'er.

I am more up on my cartoons. In that vein, I think my 18th century bro James Gillray deserves some kind of nod. I always thought of him as like some 18th c proto-Basil Woolverton. Obv he has his own thing going on too.

Xpost: Jean Fouquet, and that Painting is apparently C. 1450
I don't know anything beyond that.
― EDB, Saturday, 4 December 2010 14:15 (thirteen years ago) link
The Fouquet has some intense saturation going on. Wiki: It also happens to be a portrait of Charles VII's mistress Agnès Sorel.

for real tho, some og sorcerers claimed to be able to send sound/images through the air or communicate across the globe instantly or know other's thoughts without speaking to them. these magical things have now become daily routine; we all do these to the point of mundanity.

Goth historian, yes. the three episodes were all excellent.
they've found dozens of other examples of wheeled toys, spread around the place - https://uncoveredhistory.com/mesoamerica/wheeled-toys/
another example of early art that is striking (i've posted this in another thread before, i think) - very early chinese sculptures found in Sanxingdui that predate and are unlike anything else that follows. also, aquaphibian.

whatever happened in older historical periods of painting/sculpture are not really an "anachronism" are they? like african art influences on cubism, turner's influence on impressionism to make 2 simple examples.

i mean that sculptor who did screaming heads and that 18th C portraitist who painted self portraits of himself pulling silly faces are both unusual for their day and can both seem "modern" in unexpected ways BUT the notion that there's an iron line of progress that all can recognise at a particular and some can knowingly jump ahead of is a bad notion promulgated a bit too much by art history 101 and thus unsatisfactory captions in museums and galleries
