Christina Dongowski„Certainly only children seem all right, nowadays, in that place of bygone pomp and splendour, among the ooze-bearded river gods and the mossy winged heraldic dragons. They can turn it all into plain, simple fairyland ; and it ispurified, redeemed, by being played with.“ Klingt ein bissle wie #Benjamin, ist aber von #VernonLee .

Hotspur🏳️🌈🇺🇦"The Gold Scab; Eruption in Frilthy Lucre (The Creditor)," James Abbott McNeill Whistler, 1879.
This painting has an interesting story. Whistler's relationship with his wealthy patron Frederick Leyland ended when Leyland was furious with Whistler's work on the now-famous "Peacock Room;" it seems Whistler was only supposed to finish work started by someone else, but instead totally redid the room. The two parted ways acrimoniously.
Not long after that blow-up, Whistler unadvisedly sued art critic John Ruskin for defamation, over a bad review of one of his paintings; while Whistler won the suit, he was awarded only a farthing in damages. The suit was so expensive that he had to declare bankruptcy....and Leyland was his chief creditor.
So we have Leyland as a peacock, sitting on his house. Whistler pokes fun as his frilled shirts ("Frilthy", get it?) and his piano playing; if you look close you can see a butterfly, Whistler's signature, about to sting Leyland. The color scheme is that of the Peacock Room.
Reminds me of illustrator Sidney Sime...

History of ArtThe Mirror of Venus (1877) by English painter Edward Burne-Jones. A member of the pre-Raphaelite movement formed in England in 1848, Sir Edward Burne-Jones became one of the leading figures in a new trend, Aestheticism, that emerged in the 1860s. This composition can be seen as an exaltation of ideal beauty, aligning the atmosphere of the painting with a perspective shared by late Victorian art.

Autumn or Fall has arrived and so here is: Autumn Leaves (1856) by John Everett Millais (English artist, lived 1829–1896). Raking and burning leaves in the twilight. The artist's sisters-in-law, Alice and Sophie Gray. Unsure as to the identity of the two on the right, wearing rougher clothing.

"the Wilde trials were still very much in the air, with “decadence” and “aestheticism” effectively operating as bywords for homosexuality. Some of the members may not have been too keen to flaunt their association." — One tends to forget that not performing heteronormativity was a crime back then (& is agan in some US states and is still in a lot of other countries.)
The quote is from LOTE by Shola von Reinhold
