it means "Is the fox widow home tonight?"

Good to see that a lot of artbots have migrated to Mastodon. I can still get my John Singer Sargent fix. Still missing the Prado bot, though.

The ones I've found so far are on arthaus.social (but it's down at the moment).

the bang of these LOTR illustrations is p variable tbh but i love some of them

my fantasy nerd/illustrator sister has these russian language editions of LOTR. Here are a few pictures from it:

1. gandalf and the witch-king at the gates of minas tirith
2. bridge of the khazad-dum
3. taming of smeagol
4. witch-king pic.twitter.com/BlZ5utfLS6

chase on through to the blog post for more

it seems to switch between the styles of old Japanese ink art and religious (or possibly quite sacrilegious) medieval iconography to a pleasing effect.

yes, plus whatever style this is? (topic = the hobbits trapped in the barrow by the barrow wight)

late to this discovery and this isn't the right thread really but the hobbit in russian is…

KHOBBIT

i never imagined the barrow as looking like a public toilet.

it's an inspired reading

harry clarke faustus illustration deployed on the fall's bend sinister (for obvious reasons)

that fall illo always reminded me of something (but a third thing)

Harry Clarke is great. I believe there was something like 50 newly discovered paintings several years ago and there was gems in there

Why does Bruegel only focus on one painting..

there's a bosch one that does the same. i think they have downloaded the gigpixel scan that's avaiable and just randomly crop a twitter-sized picture from that.
