SIBERIAN ICE MAIDEN TATTOO: I used to doodle flower antlered deer in my math homework long before I knew about this piece of history, and it makes me crazy that people have always been fundamentally people. (anonymous)

(The tattoo belongs to the Siberian Ice Maiden, a mummy found in 1993 in the Ukok Plateau. She is currently placed in a special mausoleum in the Republican National Museum, and further excavations have been banned in the area she was found in, but there is debate on whether the effects of climate change may destroy any remaining tombs. Some more information can be found here.

The "Transi de René de Chalon (Cadaver Tomb of René of Chalon)" is a sculpture done in limestone with black marble by Ligier Richier. The sculpture is approximately lifesized and is visible at the Church of Saint-Étienne at Bar-le-Duc.)

Transi de René de Chalon by Ligier Richier

This transi has become one of my ‘milestone subjects,’ I tend to take a stab at it after a year or so has passed and usually find myself pleased with the progress I’m making as an artist. I also appreciate the fact it’s helping me figure out which brush settings in procreate work with me rather than against me.

Hey Angel! This is probably a very random question, but I'm curious. You seem to have a very contrasting aesthetic, with one side being cutesy children's books illustrations, and the other being really dark musical artists, paintings and poetry. So, I'm wondering: which of those do you enjoy more? Do you have a favorite artist or painting?

hello !! this is an interesting question :O i guess i enjoy the balance ? i lean more towards the creepy stuff and my heavy music and dark themes and visuals, but i'm not always in the mood for all that so sometimes i like to look at really soft and comforting stuff instead ^-^

for theme purposes, i also chose my cute mouse illustrations because i want people to have cute stuff to look at while they visit my profile and stuff :D

as for favourite artists,,, i assume you mean the visual arts kind (?). in which case it's francisco de goya (entirely predictable, but i did a very extensive school project on him once and he's really cool), van gogh (really pretty stuff), and basically everyone from the renaissance. also ligier richier, when it comes to sculptures :]

(in the event that you meant musical artist, then it's sleep token and cradle of filth :D )

thanks again for the cool question !! have a great day or night !!

Among the main works of the French sculptor Ligier Richier - born in Saint-Mihiel on 15 September 1500 - we find the tomb of René de Chalon, Prince of Orange, in the church of Saint-Etienne in Bar-le-Duc, where you can see the statue of a skeleton who, with his arm raised, offers his heart. 🫀

This sculpture - from the raw anatomical realism that reveals, together with the bones, shreds of flesh and skin - and others similar deriving from his workshop refer to the macabre taste typical of the Gothic tradition of northern Europe, represented, among others, in painting by contemporary Hans Baldung Grien. ✨✨✨✨

Onder de belangrijkste werken van de Franse beeldhouwer Ligier Richier - geboren in Saint-Mihiel op 15 september 1500 - vinden we het graf van René de Chalon, prins van Oranje, in de kerk van Saint-Etienne in Bar-le-Duc, waar je ziet het beeld van een skelet dat met opgeheven arm zijn hart aanbiedt. 🫀

Dit beeldhouwwerk - van het rauwe anatomische realisme dat samen met de botten flarden vlees en huid onthult - en andere soortgelijke uit zijn atelier verwijzen naar de macabere smaak die typerend is voor de gotische traditie van Noord-Europa, onder meer vertegenwoordigd in de schilderkunst door tijdgenoot Hans Baldung Grien.

Le gardien. La Place Saint Pierre est bien vide en cette matinée d’automne, bien loin des fastes d’antan , mais le “chat de Bar-le-Duc” veille et allonge son ombre en barrière face à l’église saint Antoine qui recèle deux oeuvres du sculpteur Ligier Richier– le Transi, chef d’oeuvre majeur de la sculpture de la Renaissance, et Le Christ et les deux larrons..

HEAD OF CHRIST: I went to watch this documentary about his art throughout his life, in a cinema, and despite all the sketches and paintings presented, that's the image that struck me when I saw it, that made me truly wonder for a moment, and understand a little more the beauty of people, the aesthetism of the male form, the care an artist can put in replicating this beauty. there is such gentleness in the traits of christ and man it makes me wanna cry.
