Also that painting is called “Judith and Holofernes.” The biblical story was a common theme for Renaissance paintings.

Here’s Caravaggio’s version:

Artemisia Gentileschi‘s version (shown below) is known for being particularly gruesome. It was painted after she was raped. Quite unusually, she participated in the trial against her rapist (and was tortured during the trail to ensure she told the truth.)

Kehinde Wiley did an entire series about the representation of women in classical Western art, of which this piece was a part. This NY Mag profile from 2012 is really interesting if you want to learn more.

It's me again, your secret santa!! That's really cool that we have a lot of the same interests! And yes, the music in Phantom is beautiful. Have you ever seen the show live? I did and it was an amazing experience.

Hi! I have seen the show on Broadway last October. It sparked my interest in Phantom. Where did you see Phantom live?

Hi! It's your POTO secret Santa, checking in again. I'm not sure if you got my first message or if tumblr ate it (tumblr be like that sometimes). I'm looking forward to getting to know you so I can pick a gift for you! What are some things you like about Phantom, and what are some of your interests outside of Phantom? Happy December and have a great week!

Okay, new rule: if you regularly consume the blood and flesh of a demigod in a room full of chanting elders you’re not allowed to call other religions primitive and evil

This is oddly specific and leaves some very interesting questions unanswered.

[ermingarden]

Catholicism sure does sound weird when you put it that way.

I’m still confused why this musical was never fully translated into english, it clearly works in the language and sure, americans or brits wouldn’t have the “connection” to the historic figure, but it still is a really good story!

Pia has also recorded a different english version, which is older I think, but I like this translation better.
