Murder! Killing in Art: Social, Political, and Cultural Perception of Otherness Art lovers discretion advised.

My new article on the representation of murder victims in art history, from the 18th century to contemporary horror movies. A reflection on propaganda, feminism, the craze for true crime, and empathy. #art #history #philosophy

What's the deal with Sir Francis Dashwood and his so-called Hell-Fire Club? Did he invent Dungeons&Dragons in his Caves, and play with Benjamin Franklin? 🤯

Detail of marble sculpture of a sleeping young man named Endymion, watched over by the goddess Diana and a cupid. The Cupid looks like he's holding an ice cream cone.

I couldn't resist playing with the light of the Holburne Museum in Bath, and captured this lovely close-up of Giuseppe Plura's marble sculpture of Diana and Endymion... where the Cupid looks like he's handing them an ice cream cone! 🍦
