The Dream of Paris

Artist: Monogrammist PG (Germany, active c. 1525–1550)

Date: 1536

Medium: Oil on panel

Collection: Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, IL, United States

Description

Faced with choosing the fairest goddess among Minerva, Juno, and Venus, the Trojan prince Paris picked Venus, shown here holding a heart and the golden apple given as a prize in the contest, with her son Cupid frolicking at her feet. Paris wears the garb of a contemporary knight rather than classical dress, a choice that emphasizes the enduring relevance of his moral crossroads as well as, through contrast, the nudity of the goddesses. His sleeping pose and the painting’s inscription, PARIS / TRA(U)M (“dream of Paris,” on the slip of paper attached to the tree), indicate that he is in the midst of a dream vision, a poetic device carried over from medieval allegory and used to foreshadow future events in a narrative. Here, these include the departure of Paris and Helen by boat in the middle distance, the catalyst for the Trojan War.

Boulevard Dream Vision Orange Vanilla Ale (Picked up at Windmill Farms). A 3 of 4. I expected this to be like a creamsicle, and it’s definitely a bit of that, particularly in the nose, but the body is still quite beer-y. The orange citrus is dominant, though there’s some other quite faint tropical notes in the background, and the vanilla is relatively powerful.

"Sometimes Death likes to play games, what they don't tell you is that there's really no way to win...they make sure of it."

I used to have dreams about this person with a realistic skull mask that guards a really old house. Haven't seen them for years but I decided to give them a scythe!

I'm not gonna make them my version of Death. They're just some playful..idk, spirit or something, guarding a strange house and playing with whoever happened to find themselves in there. What happens when a child wins or loses, we'll never know. But I'm certain that this spirit makes sure they never win, part of me thinks it's their way of protecting the children too.
