Some Melodious Plot

I'm off to be a Jedi! Fire up the X-Wing! @somemelodiousplot.bsky.social

A day late to revisit one of my pandemic blog-posts. In honour of yesterday's birthday of Joseph Merrick, and my 2020 revisit to David Lynch's The Elephant Man. Sad to hear about Lynch's emphysema too. somemelodiousplot.blogspot.com/2020/03/tennys…

Earlier Caravaggios, seen in isolation, are spectacular. Yet, Judith Beheading Holofernes, seems almost cartoon like when compared to his later paintings such as The Martyrdom. And any chance, to show Artemisia Gentileschi's superior depiction of that story.

It's been pointed out to me, that there's another terrifyingly empty, black mouth in the very same room as 'The Martyrdom'. Also, included alongside that painting, is 'Salome With the Head of John the Baptist'.

Caravaggio's final painting, on display at the National Gallery at the moment. And some thoughts on Netflix's Ripley. And how Caravaggio painted mouths in the last few months of his life. somemelodiousplot.blogspot.com/2024/07/carava…
