"La Muse verte"

by Albert Maignan

Oil Painting, 1895.

Musée de Picardie.

Little note, read if you want!

Long time no see, everybody! I'm back from the ditches, here to present another wonderful piece of art.

Fun fact: like most alcohol and hard drugs during the earlier periods, absinthe was said to be used as medicine for children. How lovely!

Why do I bring this up? Because this painting depicts a poet being visited by a little green fairy. Still not making sense? In historical literature, absinthe is referred to as "la fée verte" (the green fairy).

You might know absinthe as having hallucinogenic properties, but this is false unless you abuse the drink itself. The 19th and 20th centuries describe this as a disorder called Absinthism.

^^ I specifically bring this up because, besides namesake, paintings usually depict a green spirit (that of a woman) sitting or disrupting other people, which could be attributed to the hallucination side-effect of drinking so much.

There is so much history surrounding absinthe that I might as well make an entire post about it. And whenever that does happen, I'll be sure to include all the beautiful artwork associated with the spirit.

So for those who don't know, I make chainmail as a hobby/half-assed side hustle. I'll probably be posting a little more about that as I ease my way into 'what even is social media for selling shit' because even though this is Tumblr and the term 'algorithm' doesn't apply here it's still dipping my toe in the water, as it were.

Anyway

All that is to say that I was dicking around yesterday making a few maille-men [listen I love me a good visual pun] and because I have been on a DC Green Lantern kick I decided to try and make Hal.

And, uh.

Then I had to make the other three to keep him company.

Presenting the Four Corpsmen, chainmail-style.

They are, in fact, for sale, and I do, in fact, take commissions. My askbox is always open >w>
