Born May 26, 1602 - Philippe de Champaigne turns 424 today. "Jesus Mocked" strips the scene of triumph completely: no radiant divinity, only a bound and exhausted man wrapped in scarlet, enduring humiliation in near-total silence. Quelle: meisterdrucke.com

Charles Le Brun - *Equestrian Portrait of Louis XIV*: painted around 1668, it shows the king in armor on a rearing horse to make him look powerful even though he didn’t actually fight like that, and today the painting is in the Musée de la Chartreuse in Douai. Quelle: meisterdrucke.com

this has got to be one of the most creative interpretations of an old work i have ever seen, it lives in my head rent free. "forest paisibles" by rameau

always reminds me of that one "is this krumping?" bit from community lol

also shoutouts to that low bass, that "pour l'innocence" bit hits DIFFERENT
