My little 3d diorama, based on a painting by Józef Męcina-Krzesz, "Chopin's Last Chords", which I think is one of the gentlest, most beautiful paintings. Done in Maya, ZBrush and Substance Painter and rendered in Blender

Józef Męcina-Krzesz's original painting:

The voice of the sea is seductive; never ceasing, whispering, clamoring, murmuring, inviting the soul to wander for a spell in abysses of solitude; to lose itself in mazes of inward contemplation. The voice of the sea speaks to the soul. The touch of the sea is sensuous, enfolding the body in its soft, close embrace.

Kate Chopin, from The Awakening

One of my favorite things about the modern perspective of Chopin as a person is this notion that he was super introverted and shy and hated being around a lot of ppl. While that's true for the last few years of his life when he was very sick and struggled just to get thru the day, for most of his life he was an absolute menace. He loved to socialize, he thrived on attention, loved to go to parties, he went out so much his friends and family thought he might die if he didn't get some sleep. His partner wrote letters to his friends in the city begging them to come visit him in her country home because he was dying of boredom. He was highly socialized from a very young age in a way most of us would find intimidating today. His poor long suffering family just trying to get him to stay home and get some rest and stop spending all his money. And for what? For the 21st century to paint him as a shy innocent introvert just playing some nice music in the attic. He's cackling from beyond the grave rn, I can literally hear it
