Saw this in Louvre, wanted to share
(lemmy.world)
Looks like smth from Dark Souls 3
"Don't Give Up, Skeleton"
Gonna make that picture into an inspirational poster. Something something morning coffee
or does stuff from dark souls look like real life stuff from the past?
There’s this in Notre Dame as well:
steal it I doubledog dare you
Any more details on the artist/time period etc?
Looks like the skeleton is called La mort Saint-Innocent.

"The Death of Saint Innocent", alabaster statue present in the cemetery of the Innocents from 1530 to 1786. Artist unknown.
And the woman is Jeanne of Bourbon, Duchess of Bourbon.

"For the duchess tomb; a magnificent effigy tomb was commissioned with the effigy wearing a crown on her head and her feet resting on a lion, of which now only a stone sculpture of the cadaver monument type (now housed at the Louvre) remains."

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.
