What about chafa / Sixel?
Albeit not all terminal emulators do support Sixel, and it does not work in the console, AFAIU.

This program written in C will render the matrix effect in the terminal, while rendering an image, allowing animation of this image in one or two dimensions.

Image rendering is accomplished with the help of chafa:

How to display an image in a console...
Learning about new old stuff... or old new stuff. I'm not sure which.
#TIL about #lsix (https://github.com/hackerb9/lsix) and calling #xterm with the option "-ti vt340" to be able to display inline images inside an xterm—thanks to lsix having just arrived in #DebianUnstable: https://packages.debian.org/sid/lsix
These inline images (or the backend used to display them) seem to be called #sixel graphics. And they're said to work transparently through SSH. Maybe better than #chafa or #catimg.
#BloomScrolling on the terminal! 😉
