Type of Beauty Portrait of Mrs Kathleen Newton

Artist: James Tissot (French, 1836-1902)

Date: 1880

Medium: Oil on Canvas

Collection: Private Collection

DESCRIPTION

Kathleen Irene Ashburnham Newton (née Kelly; 1854–1882) was an Irish-British model, best known for her many sittings with the French artist James Tissot. Her artistic relationship with Tissot quickly turned into a romantic one, and the two lived together, representing themselves as a married couple, for the rest of her life, which was cut short by tuberculosis. She modeled for Tissot constantly throughout their time together, and Tissot's biographers remembered her as his muse.

Although Tissot's contemporary audience understood his relationship with Newton, biography published during his lifetime did not mention her, and magazine coverage of his work only discussed her obliquely.  Tissot referred to her by pseudonyms like la mystérieuse (the mysterious) and la belle irlandaise (the Irish beauty) in the titles of his paintings. His biographers started including her in his story soon after he died in 1902, referring to her by a nickname, Kitty, that he had used. Her full identity entered the historical record in 1954, when her niece Lilian Hervey answered a journalist's plea for information about her.

Vlad the Impaler

Artist: European School

Title: Portrait of Vlad III Dracula (Ambras Portrait)

Date: Second half of the 16th century

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna, Austria

Description

No other historical figure from Eastern Europe has enjoyed as much popularity in the historical record and the modern imagination as Vlad III Dracula. He was prince of Wallachia on three separate occasions during the second half of the 15th century (Oct–Nov 1448; 1456–62; and Nov–Dec 1476).

This was a time of great turmoil across Eastern Europe, following the capture of Constantinople by the Ottoman Turks in 1453 and the subsequent fall of the Byzantine Empire. Although many of the details of Vlad’s life and deeds remain open to interpretation, several surviving visual and textual sources offer a complex picture of this medieval hero who inspired the modern vampire.

This portrait (commonly known as the Ambras Portrait) preserves an iconic image of Vlad III Dracula. Completed several decades after his death and supposedly based on a now-lost original, this painting shows the Wallachian ruler’s bust in three-quarter view and dressed in a red velvet coat with gold buttons and a large fur collar. His elaborate headdress is lined with pearls, a large central gem, and gold accents. His appearance is stern, with large, piercing eyes, arched eyebrows, an aquiline nose, long curly hair, and a prominent mustache. In this painting, the “Dux Balachie” (or ruler of Wallachia)—as the portrait was described in the inventory of Archduke Ferdinand in 1596—is shown as a respectable, yet stern, figure.

The portrait seems to match the only extant written description of Vlad, penned by Niccolò Modrussa (Modruš)—a papal legate at the court in Buda while Vlad was in captivity there for more than a decade, from 1462–74. Modrussa’s description reads:

"(Vlad) was not very tall, but very stocky and strong, with a cold and terrible appearance, a strong and aquiline nose, swollen nostrils, a thin and reddish face in which the very long eyelashes framed large wide-open green eyes; the bushy black eyebrows made them appear threatening. His face and chin were shaven, but for a mustache. The swollen temples increased the bulk of his head. A bull’s neck connected [with] his head from which black curly locks hung on his wide-shouldered person." Radu R. Florescu and Raymond T. McNally, Dracula, Prince of Many Faces, 1989

the party is 'dress like your favorite artist' and i had a hard time thinking of an artist i like that dresses in a specific way? but im ending up going as edward gorey im going to wear a black sweater and put my weird taxidermied stole around my neck.

for the Halloween costume thing.... I keep having visions of willow in a banana costume. idk if that's anything but i keep seeing it when I close my eyes

also Lyra would go nuts w a spiderverse doc ock costume but it probably doesnt fit chronologically. I do think her costume would be some out-veil pop culture reference tho

Everything about this is so wonderful in every horribly great way... This is also the *second* request for Willow dressup i've gotten, so here's what i'm thinking. if I do a silly /cute picture, Weasel Fashion Week is definitely what needs to happen but if I do a more serious image, willow has to be there (and in the halloween spirit), because she's proven to be the star request. (Also you're right, Lyra has likely on more than one occasion dressed up as some pop culture outveil icon she loves and absolutely lived for the moment anyone might recognize her costume. One year that just so happened to be Barbarella. That was though probably before Audric....)
