Goddamn i love this

Whats going on with the dude stabbing the dude with his sword in the noggin?

What an incredible piece! Can’t believe I’ve never seen it. Loving the chicken chilling towards the top.

This is pretty epic.

In Girodet’s painting the heroes surround the blind poet in Valhalla, in fanatical devotion, and ready for battle. In his train we see fallen warrior heroes of history, illuminated as with an inner radiance, and, as if in reward, surrounded by fairy-like floating maidens.
