💀 Museo della Basilica di Gandino, Italy 💀 Giovanni Radici, 1758-71 💀

These 22 panes are paintings of stylized skeletons wearing distinctive garments. The Macabri were created by Giovanni Radici between 1758 and 1771. They are meant to either represent popular figures of the time period, identifiable by the coats of arms and banners, or common people in their professinal attire.

During the Triduum of the Dead, the panes were displayed at the nearby basilica to remind the faithful of the transience of life.

Dionysus sketches from instagram–I like the challenge of representing the duality of his gentleness and understanding with his potential for frenzy and brutality

Protogenoi 3: The Children of Nyx

In the next stage of development in the creation myth, Nyx (night) births a host of powerful and important deities, such as:

Moros (doom), crafts the dark fates for mortals with tragic or dishonorable ends.

Thanatos (death) twin brother of Hypnos, and a gentle deity who ushers souls to Hades for judgement.

Hypnos (sleep) has the power to lull mortals and gods alike into slumber. Twin brother to Thanatos. He is commonly portrayed holding a horn of opium or a poppy stem.

Oneiroi (tribe of dreams) are a group of winged spirits that deliver dreams which could sometimes be omens from the gods. The three main members were Morpheus, Phobeter, and Phantasos, as well as the shapeshifting minor spirit, Ikelos.  

Keres (fates of violent death) dark winged female fate spirits of cruel deaths, as in war, murder, and sacrifice, and concern themselves with the moment of death.

Morai (The fates) three impartial goddesses which determine the overall destinies of mortals. Clotho spins the thread of life, Lachesis measures it, and Atropos cuts it, signifying the death.

Hesperides: Nymphs of the west and golden sunset who guard a tree of golden apples which bestow immortality.

Nemesis (indignation) goddess of divine retribution who sought justice or revenge for wrongdoings.

Eris (strife) a cruel goddess motivated by spite, chaos, and conflict. Eris bears many terrible spirits such as Ponos (toil), Lethe (forgetfulness), limos (famine), The Algea (pains), The Hysminai (battles), the Makhai (wars) and Phonoi (murders) and Androktasiai (manslaughter).
