The V&A, on a rainy Friday afternoon.

Dogs at the story of patient Grizelda, the unpleasant medieval tale from The Decameron of a husband that demands unquestioning obedience from his wife, a peasant girl, so that she has to endure public humiliation, the apparent murder of her children, her exile from her husband’s house in disgrace and then she is re-called to the marital house to arrange a marriage for his new bride.

Dogs were often seen as symbols of marital loyalty and appear on all the panels.

This tale ends “happily” in that she is restored to her place as a wife and her children returned to her but now grown up. Her patience is rewarded. It’s not a tale that anyone would hold up as a moral one now. Grizelda appears in Caryl Churchill’s Top Girls as one of the female types from history

The story is told in a series of three paintings in The National Gallery, London by The Master Of The Story of Grizelda.

Adrien's interpretation of Ladybug's story in Miraculous World: London

The London special gave me exactlyyyy the angst that I craved. I can't believe that THIS was what she told him.

Chatsworth House by dariashew.

[illustoryart]

The city of London.

Old and new. Cruel and charming.

Always changing, hoarding history, keeping stories under the bridges and in the dark alleys.

The city of London and its guardians, angel and demon, who have seen it from the very beginning - in the times of prosperity and in the darkest times. They have lived through it all.

Sometimes, maybe once in a year they just sit up there in the clouds and watch a billion lights being born on the streets as the sun goes down. After all that happened and before all that will happen, what a miracle just to be alive and watch the sunset together ❤️‍🩹
