also speaking of jakub różalski this painting of his is my FAVOURITE like yes girl snitch on the knight!!! get his ass!!!
the one of a girl looking longingly at a naked witch flying by and the one of a babushka yelling at a devil also rule tho
Iconic, what a mood.
Maiden mother crone
Those are teutonic order knights, which colonized and terrorized what is now Poland, where the artist is from, so rooting for her is indeed the correct position
Actually, what I really love about the image of the devil on the roof is that he’s staring down in abject horror at the grey cat at the foot of the shrine. And the cat is totally unperturbed by his presence. Like, “Oh, hey, grandma. I just treed a krampus for you.”
ppl who don’t get cats will try to argue that cats don’t love you meanwhile cats will cry and cry and cry and cry like the world is ending until you hold them like a baby and give them a kissy on their perfect lil forehead
i love figures in folklore who are morally ambiguous like. their wikipedia page will say like ‘they will help lost travellers find their way back to the path also they are sometimes known to drown people and eat their bones.’ ok!!!
