About the artwork:

This painting depicts the biblical King David, a frequent subject in art due to his complex character and dramatic life as described in the scriptures. The chosen verse, Psalm 55:6, expresses David’s desire for escape from the turmoil surrounding him, a theme that Leighton visualizes with a reflective and evocative representation of David yearning for peace.

In this work, David might be depicted in a moment of solitude and contemplation, perhaps looking towards the heavens or in a pose that suggests his longing for escape. The composition would likely emphasize the emotional intensity of the scene through the use of dramatic lighting and shadow, highlighting David's expression and the setting around him, which could be either a palace or a secluded outdoor space, adding to the sense of isolation and contemplation.

it’s been brought to my attention that maybe it’s not common knowledge that in many of the hpcc casts yolly (yann fredericks + polly chapman) are considered canon so I’m here to fix that

they’re everything to me and if I ever stop posting about them I’ve died

A gilded ship on the cover of The Square-rigged Cruiser, or Lorrain's Sea-sermons by Alfred M. Lorrain. This is the same War of 1812 veteran whose autobiography The Helm, the Sword, and the Cross describes his time at Fort Meigs.

Lorrain is clearly drawing on the "helm" portion of his experiences for his sermons, and an introduction to the book mentions the near-universal appeal of "every thing belonging to the watery world." I couldn't find anything in the text directly referencing his time as a soldier [ETA: there is a brief mention], but he made an interesting choice on the title page:

"Free grace and sailors' rights"??

"Free grace" is a reference to the Christian theology of God's blessings and salvation being a free gift, but more to the point it's an obvious riff on the American slogan Free Trade and Sailors' Rights that was a pro-war rallying cry during the War of 1812.

Lorrain's autobiography was written 10 years after The Square-rigged Cruiser, at the end of his life. Maybe he was still trying to make sense of his war experiences in 1853; it's obvious that he was traumatized by what happened at Fort Meigs. There's a shadow of war even in his book of sermons.

I can't help but compare Lorrain to another War of 1812 veteran whose trauma seeps into his writing: Captain Frederick Marryat. Some of the best parts of Diary in America are Marryat revisiting "the late war."
