The Temptation and Fall of Eve by William Blake

[tricksterontheweb]

The Great Red Dragon and the Woman Clothed with the Sun

by William Blake Publication date c. 1805

part of the Rosenwald Collection at the National Gallery of Art

"Blake was commissioned to create over one hundred paintings intended to illustrate books of the Bible. These paintings depict "The Great Red Dragon" in various scenes from the Book of Revelation.

And behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth.

Rev. 12:3-4 KJV "

charlotte!! congrats on your milestone 💚 i would love Vigée Le Brun, mostly because i am always looking for new artists that exude the kind of ~feelings~ i like from art

i love dark and atmospheric works, my favourite artists are francisco goya, jamie (and andrew) wyeth, edward hopper, paul klee, van gogh, and théodore géricault (specifically his anatomical studies on corpses and his work with the mentally ill), and dragan bibin

it has only also just now occurred to me we haven't talked about art lol 💚

visit the art gallery

ahhhh finnie!! thank you so much for the request! you are the first visitor to the gallery and I'm so excited!!!!! 🥰🥰

dark and atmospheric art also holds an incredibly special place in my heart, and all the artists you've listed are so wonderful! I hope I can suggest something that gives you the same vibes 💙

here's a list of artists I think you might like (with more details and images below the cut!)

John Atkinson Grimshaw

Leonora Carrington

Odilon Redon

William Blake

John Atkinson Grimshaw (Thro' the Woods and Roundhay Park Lake)

I picked Grimshaw for you because he has these lovely, haunting nighttime landscapes that are both beautiful and unsettling. the darkened trees and lingering mist seem to engulf the small, featureless figures as they traverse deeper into the darkness. these are two of my favorite examples, but he has many others in this genre as well!

Leonora Carrington (The Ancestor and Self-Portrait in Orthopedic Black Tie)

on the more abstract/surrealist side, I picked Carrington. she is such a compelling yet very under-studied artist who painted in a surrealist style for most of her career. for me, surrealism is often an "I love it or I hate it" kind of thing, and I love Carrington's work. her pieces really give off that dark vibe that is kind of creepy and slightly off-putting, yet also make you want to lean in closer and figure out the story behind the images. there's that element of both horror and fascination, which is why I think you might like her art.

Odilon Redon (The Eye, Like a Strange Balloon, Moves Toward Infinity and Mystery

Odilon Redon was actually quite heavily inspired by Goya, so he seems like a great fit for you! just like Goya, he was a prolific printmaker as well as a painter, and he produced tributes to other artists like Goya and even writers like Edgar Allan Poe (the first image here comes from his tribute to Poe). he was a symbolist artist, and his art is just really fucking weird (affectionate). there's darkness, there's horror, there's weird uses of color, there's strange, indistinct spaces, featureless figures, and just this sort of nebulous floaty-ness to many of his works. not only do I think you'll like him because he was inspired by Goya, but also because of this kind of whimsy and weirdness he mixes with horror elements.

William Blake (Ancient of Days and Hekate)

although he is much better known as a poet today (he's the "tiger tiger burning bright" guy), Blake was also an artist and illustrated his own poems as well as other works such as Dante's Inferno. his work feels almost symbolist, but about 100 years earlier. he was close to being a contemporary of Goya, and I think you can definitely see some resemblances in his art. at the time, his work was considered the product of "madness" and "visions," and it certainly has an eerie, otherworldly quality to it. kinda like Redon, some of it is just plain weird. I picked Blake both because of his resonances with Goya, but also the strange, mystical, and terrifying worlds he creates in his art.

I hope this was interesting/fun/helpful and that you found a new artist or artwork to explore further!

again, thank you so much for the request! 🥰

love and hugs,

charlotte 💙

💕💕 self-love time! talk about which ones of YOUR creations (edits, artworks, fanfics) you like the most then send to other creators to do the same 💕💕

AGH Thank you for the ask, Frenchie! Since I create various things, gonna be indulgent and list a few different answers:

[Artworks]

Okay not gonna lie, I still love and adore that Huxley sketch I did recently. But I realized I hadn't posted this sketch on Tumblr yet, so I'd also say my sketch of Alonzo from @mr-laveau's series NeXus is one of my favs

[Writing]

I haven't yet started my first proper fic, but my fic adjacents were so fun to create— Especially the Sam/David one since I had to format it from small notes to something cohesive and readable.

[Now if we get a little abstract with it, I'd also argue some of the rarepairs I've developed fall under here (specifically Moonlit Chains and Bites n Bruises) but those are mostly offline.]

[True Self-Indulgence]

Self-promo still trips me up sometimes, but I am very proud of some of the videos I've made on my channel so here's a few of my personal favs

Quentin Blake: Illustrating Verse exhibition on UK tour

The Quentin Blake Centre for Illustration is touring an exhibition of Quentin Blake's original illustrations around Britain

The Quentin Blake Centre for Illustration, the UK’s first and only charity for illustration, is touring an exhibition of Quentin Blake‘s original illustrations around Britain during 2023, and into next year, with more venues being sought. “The choice of moments, and a sense of discretion about what to draw and what not to draw, is particularly important in the business of illustrating poetry.” –…

Out of the earth you came ~ 1930 ~ Cardwell Spencer Higgins (American artist, 1902-1983)

gallery note: A beautiful original 1930 dated pen and ink drawing by Cardwell Higgins titled “Out of the earth you came.” The artist created a series of these noir black and white fantasy illustrative costumed art deco pen & ink drawings between the years of 1927 – 1929 exploring late 19th century mysticism, ala William Blake. These have a psychedelic, psychological allure, and are homages in many regards to the artworks of Aubrey Beardsley and Harry Clarke.

Warnings: fluff

Summary: JJ and the team continue to look for the unsub that keeps slipping from their grasp while you get ready for the housewarming party you’re throwing to celebrate living with JJ. The party is a success, but becomes a bit too interested in the bleeding painting you got at Leo’s art gallery.

“I don’t know why you’re asking me this. You know I’m not into that stuff. You choose. We’ll be fine with whatever you put out,” JJ says as she gets dressed for work.

“Baby, it’s not just me. You’re in this with me, too. I don’t want to put out something that they don’t like.”

“Fine. Finger foods. You okay with that?”

“Baby, finger foods won’t go over well with people from my world.”

“See? This is why I tend to stay out of the decision-making. It’s a housewarming party. Just make good food and I don’t think they’d care. I trust you.”

You and JJ walked about having a housewarming party once she was all moved in, and the last box is now unpacked. All that’s left to do is invite people and make a menu for the guests. The doorbell rings and JJ leaves the room with her morning coffee in hand. She opens the door to a delivery man with a huge package--it must be a painting due to its size.

“I have a package for Y/N.”

“That’s me,” you smile and walk over to him. You sign his device and bring the painting inside. “Thank you.”

“What is it?”

“When I was looking for a gift for you, I thought of my art friend, Leo. He’s very good at finding auctions, and he owns an upscale art gallery where I saw this painting there.” You rip the wrapping paper off. “I don’t know. I like it.”

“Wow.” She tilts her head to the side as she takes in the bleeding painting. You call it that because the paint looks like it’s bleeding with the way it’s dripping. “That’s… different.”

“What, you don’t like it?”

“Is that paint?” she asks and looks closer.

“Of course, it is. Paint can do anything these days.”

“How much did you pay for it?” she asks and takes a sip of her coffee.

“Two-point-five million,” you mumble.

JJ gasps and chokes on her coffee, careful not to spill any of it on her new shirt. “For that? I can do that!”

“I like it,” you shrug.

“Where are you going to put it?”

“The empty wall in the living room unless you don’t want it there.”

“Put it where you want,” she chuckles. “I’d advise you not to spend your money on stuff like this but I bet you’ll make that back in a few weeks.”

“Yeah,” you nod in agreement. You slide the painting into the living room to put up later and turn to her. “So, about that menu.”

She laughs. “My friends will like anything. Spencer eats anything, Derek eats anything, Emily is allergic to shellfish, Penelope loves any kind of meat, and Rossi loves bourbon and whiskey. I’m not sure what Hotch likes, but I’m sure he’ll adapt.”

“Meat but no shellfish. I can work with that.”

She walks into the kitchen to pour herself another cup of coffee, this time in a thermos for work.

“Who are you inviting?”

“Just some friends in the business and a few celebrities I’ve done business with. Ones I’m close with, anyway.”

“Like who?”

“Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds which means Taylor Swift might also show. Scarlett Johansson, Robert Downy Jr., Jennifer Lawrence, George Clooney, and Ben Affleck. To name a few.”

“Okay.” JJ is starstruck by those names but tries to play it cool. “Wow, why am I suddenly so nervous?”

“They’re sweethearts. Really good people. You’ll love them.”

“Okay, I have to get to work. Try not to spend all your money in one place.” She kisses you on her way out. “I love you!”

“I love you, too!”

JJ gets to work thirty minutes later and meets everyone in the briefing room.

“Just so you know, Y/N and I are throwing a housewarming party, and you’re all invited. I already told her no shellfish,” she winks at Emily.

“I’ll be there,” she smiles.

“Oh, and there may or may not be some celebrities there. Apparently, she’s close to a few of them.”

“Let’s get started,” Hotch says. “Penelope, what’s the update?”

“Well, we’re still no closer to finding the sick bastard. However, I just got word right before you walked in that two women who were out jogging in a residential neighborhood went missing. Their pictures are already circling through the news.”

“The ME reports on the other victims have come in,” Spencer says. “According to her, the victims were dead when they were drained of blood, and she found high doses of anesthesia in their systems.”

“That could mean the unsub feels remorse for his victims,” Derek says. “He doesn’t want them feeling pain.”

“Maybe. If he’s using anesthesia, he has to be getting that from somewhere, right? I’m assuming it’s not easy making something like that.”

“Garcia, look into businesses where they sell anesthesia and equipment for blood draining.”

“I am on it.”

She gathers her things and leaves the briefing room.

“Prentiss, you and Morgan talk to the neighbors. Maybe someone might have seen something.” The two get up and leave. “Reid, you and Dave talk to their families and see if there is a connection to the other women.”

“I’ll compile a press conference to give out the profile when we’re ready,” JJ says.

She’s not a liaison anymore, but she’s the best person for the job. You decide to stay at home instead of going into the office, and you’re in the middle of hanging the painting in the living room when the show you’re watching is interrupted by an emergency broadcast. JJ’s face comes on screen, and you turn it up to hear what she has to say.

“The suspect we’re looking for is a caucasian male between the ages of thirty and fifty. He isn’t sociable and will often shy away from large crowds. If you’ve met this man, then he will come across as not confident even though he pretends to be. He’s skilled enough to talk his way out of trouble but the same will not go for informal conversations. Please, if you think you know or know of a man like this, please call the FBI with the number at the bottom of your screen. We encourage those not to travel alone and not at night. Thank you.”

No wonder JJ is stressed. She’s been on this case for weeks and this man is somehow avoiding the FBI like the plague.

You hope this party will take some stress off her shoulders.

With the menu already figured out, you hired a chef to create it. Before you know it, there is a beautiful array of foods laid out on two tables in the living room. This isn’t a formal party so there are no servers to bring the trays around. Despite the elegant look of your house, you want this to be as chill as possible.

There are already a few people from different jeweler businesses already here, and the next people to show up are JJ’s entire team.

“Hi, welcome in. Alcohol is in the kitchen. Food is in the living room. Mingle and enjoy!” Hotch is the last one in, and you give him a warm smile. “JJ didn’t tell me what you liked to eat, so I had to guess. I hope you like what I have.”

“I’m sure I will. You have a very nice home.”

“Thank you.”

Not every celebrity that you invited showed up, but enough on the list was able to make it.

“Oh, Y/N, Rossi was asking about the layout of the house,” JJ says and brings Rossi over to you.

“I have an architect that I work with. He’s designed all four of my homes and all of my businesses. Are you looking to build a house?”

“I might be.”

“Where is he?” You look around the room and spot Randy talking with his wife. “Ah, Randy! Come here!” He breaks away from her and joins your group. “Randy, this is Rossi from the FBI. Rossi, Randy Miller.” They get to talking and you notice JJ by the food table. “Excuse me.”

“Hey,” JJ says when you approach her. “Sorry I didn’t do much to help put this together.”

“It’s okay. I know you were busy. I saw your press conference earlier. I hope you catch the guy.”

“Me, too, but I don’t want to talk about work here.” You understand. “Oh, my God, is that Julia Roberts? I’ll be right back.”

You can’t help but smile at her amusement. Spencer stands in front of the painting you bought and tilts his head in fascination.

“Do you like it?”

“What kind of painting is this? What paint was used?”

“I’m not sure. I’m not an expert. Why?”

“There’s something about this painting…”

“What?”

“I don’t know. Where did you get it from?”

“Leo’s art gallery. He said the artist is anonymous so I’m not sure who painted it. I like it, though. I like the way the paint drips down.”

“Hmm, interesting,” Spencer mutters, unable to look away.
