Guys.
Y’all.
I…
I just. I just… i have discovered something. And I have laughed too much. I have laughed every time I have tried to explain it to someone. I cannot get through this.
Look. Okay.
There are two things you need to know, here.
First: There’s a style of Greek pottery that was popular during the Hellenic period, for which most of the surviving examples are from southern Italy. We call them ‘fish plates’ because, well, they’re plates, and they’re decorated with fish (and other marine life).
Like this one, currently in the Met:
Or this one, currently in the Cleveland Museum of Art:
They’re very cool. We’re not 100% sure what they were for, because most of the surviving ones were found as grave goods, but that’s a different post.
The second thing you need to know is that when we (Classics/archaeology/whatever as a discipline) have a collection of artefacts, like vases, sculptures, paintings, etc. and we do not know the name of the artist, but we’re pretty sure one artist made X, Y and Z artefacts, we come up with a name for that artist. There are a whole bunch of things that could be the source for the name, e.g. where we found most of their work (The Dipylon Master) or the potter with whom they worked (the Amasis Painter), a favourite theme (The Athena Painter), the Museum that ended up with the most famous thing they did (The Berlin Painter) or a notable aspect of their style. Like, say, The Eyebrow Painter.
Guess what kind of pottery the Eyebrow Painter made?
"So, what do you think, Tori?" I asked after I finished talking about my recent realization. "Let me think.. Well, there's this composer, whose name was a variant of Louis .. and your sixth great-grandfather lived in the early 19th century, like him, so maybe he likes his music and idolized him or something? Idk, just.. my thoughts as a musician," Tori said.
"Well, that's actually a pretty neat theory. Nice, Tori." She smiled. I suddenly remembered about my conversation with my sibling last night. "Tori, babe, you remember Claude, right?"
"Your older sibling? Yeah, I remember them. Why?"
I took a deep breath. "Well, they just directed an adaptation of our sixth great-grandfather's play, and the protagonist's name is Alois.."
"Interesting. I'll search that play up, I promise." Tori and I did the pinky promise. "Anyways, my parents probably wants me to go home already, so, sorry, and bye, darling!" She gave me one last hug, and I waved at her as she left my room.
Reblog if you are also not a straight people.
Here's Tori, Aloisia's gf :3
(She identifies as sapphic because it's the label that fits her the most. And she's supposed to be from +62 country, just like me XD)
Two bros
Lying in the same urn
Zero feets apart 'cause they're probably gay
I'm bored, so here's some stuff (plus some revisions) about my OCs!
• (revision) Cosette and Louisette met at a dinner party host by Cosette's parents. They invited Louisette's parents because they're friends. Louisette's parents brought her to the dinner party and she met Cosette there. Cosette was almost 25 y.o. and Louisette was 21 y.o.
• They started dating on 18/02/1921
• Aurelie studied at a girls only dormitory school after she finished primary school.
• Cosette only got to see one of her granddaughter, who is named after her.
• Louisette is both a novelist and a journalist. She once wrote an article about her friend's ex-husband.
• Cosette can play the piano (her father taught her), and so can Louisette, but Cosette is better.
• Cosette's mother taught her to sing when she was 5 y.o.
• Louisette majored in history, while Cosette majored in music.
• Nocturne ( Cosette's cat ) was a stray cat. Cosette adopted him on January 1920, after she went back from the courthouse.
(TW: Mention of death)
• Cosette has an older brother. She also would've had a younger sibling, but her younger sibling died at birth.
Sorry for being inactive, anyway here's some lovers from the regency era :>
(their clothes are probably not very historically accurate, but eh)
(Background textures are from ibis paint)
Finished the book, now starting the series :)
