In I think 1581, he caught his daughter-in-law wearing ‘immodest clothing in front of everyone’ and struck her. She was apparently pregnant and she may or may not have had a miscarriage because of it. <br/><br/>Ivan’s son and the girl’s husband, also named Ivan after his father, hears about it and gets into a really heated argument with his father that ends with Ivan the Terrible taking a swing at his son with his pointed staff. It’s said that he immediately fell down and kissed his son’s face, pressing his hands against his left temple to try to stop the bleeding. He famously screamed <span>“May I be damned! I’ve killed my son! I’ve killed my son!” His son briefly regained consciousness and his last words were “I die as a devoted son and most humble servant.”<br/></span><br/>I love all the details. I love the pointed staff lying on the ground and the signs of a fight with the tossed over chair, disturbed carpet, and the door wide open. I love the single tear on Ivan’s face and their position on the floor. This is a really gorgeous but raw depiction of one of the darkest moments in an incredible man’s life. I wish there were more historical paintings like this.</p> </blockquote> <p>I’ve yet to see any other image depict the look of horrific realization and regret as well as this painting does. It really is just stunning.</p> </blockquote>http://mycowisnotpretty.tumblr.com/post/32454430856http://mycowisnotpretty.tumblr.com/post/32454430856Fri, 28 Sep 2012 08:56:43 -0400traditional and mixed mediaonesequinatatime<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mb1tr3rfwq1qc9kvgo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://stillicidiousstars.tumblr.com/post/32447730572/summerhall-edinburgh">stillicidiousstars</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Summerhall, Edinburgh</p> </blockquote>http://mycowisnotpretty.tumblr.com/post/32454397143http://mycowisnotpretty.tumblr.com/post/32454397143Fri, 28 Sep 2012 08:55:27 -0400photographyonesequinatatime<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_max2q0bZjW1rypm3wo1_500.gif"/><br/><br/>http://mycowisnotpretty.tumblr.com/post/32277464323http://mycowisnotpretty.tumblr.com/post/32277464323Tue, 25 Sep 2012 16:00:26 -0400animationgifillustrationonesequinatatime<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mau5n7Apd71qzvd23o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://mycowisnotpretty.tumblr.com/post/32187760486http://mycowisnotpretty.tumblr.com/post/32187760486Mon, 24 Sep 2012 03:34:17 -0400neonsculptureonesequinatatime<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mat1wq7MLX1qz7vazo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://rockstarvanity.tumblr.com/post/32120387767/model-deryck-de-maine-beaumont-c-tanya-simpson">rockstarvanity</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><strong>Model</strong><span> Deryck de Maine Beaumont</span><br/><span>© Tanya Simpson (RockstarVanity Photographic Art)</span></p> </blockquote>http://mycowisnotpretty.tumblr.com/post/32121399599http://mycowisnotpretty.tumblr.com/post/32121399599Sun, 23 Sep 2012 10:01:29 -0400photographyonesequinatatime<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lvumvxoyNX1qd0knjo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://rifles.tumblr.com/post/13882552014">rifles</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><em>Snow White and The Madness of Truth</em></p> </blockquote>http://mycowisnotpretty.tumblr.com/post/31919177637http://mycowisnotpretty.tumblr.com/post/31919177637Thu, 20 Sep 2012 08:42:13 -0400photographyonesequinatatime<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lj8zfbjKh41qh5n07o1_500.png"/><br/><br/>http://mycowisnotpretty.tumblr.com/post/31919161213http://mycowisnotpretty.tumblr.com/post/31919161213Thu, 20 Sep 2012 08:41:32 -0400photographyonesequinatatime<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6c6m7uINq1qko867o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://mycowisnotpretty.tumblr.com/post/31850022189http://mycowisnotpretty.tumblr.com/post/31850022189Wed, 19 Sep 2012 02:51:50 -0400traditional and mixed mediaonesequinatatime<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m8be9xKElV1r7evddo1_500.gif"/><br/><br/><p>dear god this is amazing. anyone know where it comes from?</p>http://mycowisnotpretty.tumblr.com/post/31849991175http://mycowisnotpretty.tumblr.com/post/31849991175Wed, 19 Sep 2012 02:50:33 -0400performancefilmonesequinatatime<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mak5zcCC6Q1qz4cuyo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://links.laughingsquid.com/post/31806124854/a-powerful-finnish-psa-that-portrays-drunk-parents">laughingsquid</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="http://laughingsquid.com/a-powerful-finnish-psa-that-portrays-drunk-parents-as-scary-monsters/">A Powerful Finnish PSA That Portrays Drunk Parents As Scary Monsters</a></p> </blockquote>http://mycowisnotpretty.tumblr.com/post/31815553573http://mycowisnotpretty.tumblr.com/post/31815553573Tue, 18 Sep 2012 17:16:01 -0400designAdvertonesequinatatime
