#it really was rumoured he was poisoned by a rival painter

So I posted a Good Omens season 3/finale thought of the day earlier today which involved Crowley’s wall safe and thought I would do a bigger headcanon post about it. I posted the idea that maybe the Mona Lisa is actually secretly covering up a different painting.

People may be familiar with the Masaccio painting “Expulsion of Adam and Eve from the garden” (I’ve chosen the slightly censored version in case Tumblr takes offence to naked classical art):

Personal headcanon is Crowley was angered so much of the depiction of Aziraphale kicking Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden that he had a painting commissioned in the same style to Masaccio but instead it was of Aziraphale gifting his flaming sword to Adam and Eve.

The painter he commissioned was a rival to Masaccio. As Crowley wanted the painting to be kept secret (for obvious reasons) he wouldn’t allow the painter to speak about it or reproduce it. Angered that he would not see the same recognition as Masaccio the rival painter poisoned him in revenge.

Crowley kind of felt bad about this but considering he got a beautiful painting out of it and a new soul for Hell to boot he guessed it was worth it.
